@mrcoatsworth429 2 ай бұрын

No, that isn't true. Doesn't matter if there is a tube in there. But those are supposed to be tube preamps, which means they are basically supposed to replace the built-in preamp of the guitar amp. And you can bypass the preamp by going straight into the FX return. But you don't have to do that.

@NamelessSmile 2 ай бұрын

@richardbrawn1019 2 ай бұрын

Like @mrcoatsworth429 said, the only time it's adviseable to do that is if it is a preamp pedal. There are plenty of OD or boost pedals that have tubes that are meant to be in front of the amp. Some Preamp pedals like the Victory preamp pedals even say you can go in front of the amp if you want. There is no right or wrong, whatever sounds best for you, go with it

Something to consider with tube tone in the preamp vs. power amp parts of a circuit......Thomas Blug and his BluGuitar amps get all the tube tone from a tube in the power amp section. I have the Iridium and now I get it. Most of that chewy good tube tone comes from the power tubes in an amp cranked up. He has no tube in the preamp section and the sound is amazing. I think that was what EVH was doing using a variac. Working the power section to the max at a lower volume. Amps were different back then. That's why all the older guys say you had to crank them to get that sound. It's mostly in the power tubes. I could be wrong but that is what I currently understand.

@GCKelloch Ай бұрын

What amps were different back then? Tubes amps is tube amps. The tube amp section sound is a result of the distortion & compression aspects of the phase inverter preamp tube (if it's a push/pull design), the power tubes, the output and power transformers, rectifier, and how the speaker impedance reactively affects those aspects.

I've always been dubious about valves in pedals as I dont understand how the low voltage and amperage of 9 -12 and 18v pedals can drive a valve (vacuum tube), are they just a gimmick or do they really add anything? I realise these are pre amps and not o/d pedals but the same kinda thing applies I imagine and as you can probably guess I know very little about valve amps other than how to plug a guitar into one ;)

@Tubesteader 2 ай бұрын

This thing is known as a "boost converter," which is a circuit that takes a 12V input and increases it up to 300V. In our pedals, it transforms 12V/200mA into 280V/15mA.

The company does a huge biz with guys using these pedals as their dirt channel in all manner of old old amps. Many if not most are single channel and do not have an effects loop to go direct to the power amp. My point is this demo would put off 80% of the guys that would love one. You guys should take literally 2 minutes out of your life and read the manual. The first thing it tells you is about the hookup simply plugging straight into your amp.. The Eggnog is the cheapest and going into an old Fender you get a beyond killer sound right thru the front end.

I can see this type of pedal at the end of the chain of the pedal board for giging players who can't have his amp with him. He goes to the venue and rents or gets Fender Deluxe and plugs into the FX loop return. Then he has something that's known territory. Or uses IR pedal and dives Line out to the house. But for someone owning a great amplifier and being able to have it on stage, this is not needed, and it just takes pedal space and requires a lot of power. I do not see it as an improvement of the average amplifier. If you are not happy with your amplifier, save money, sell te current amplifier and get the amplifier that suits you. Half steps will just cost you money. All parts of your rigg should be around same level so you do not degrade the sound. But if you have everything at nice level there is no replacement for a good amplifier.
