    USE

    Use?
    I use it in a config bassman head 70, baffle Boggner Shiva and 2 telecaster: an old 52 and a '50 reissue Mount with 2 joe Barden.

    the use of the pedal is very very simple: one branch (the focus is in the left and right OUT is get used that's all.), it screws up the knob at noon and WOCK N Woll

    SOUND QUALITY

    God only knows how many of satu pedal and drive quue I tried.

    Menatone king of the britain, TS9, TS10, Line 6 DL4, Banzai Fireball, V twin MesaBoogie, Tubeman H & K ect, ect, ect ...

    I bought the get, the branch! Arrrrrrg sound is yucky. Drooling, not accurate, not level, no dynamic! for an output level nearly as strong as when it is unplugged, I must fuck volume knob thoroughly. Total short loose.
    And then I said, it's funny, it'll complement in contrast with what others say utilisatueurs. And it's a pedal is light. And if I?
    And I!
    And what do I see it? a 12AX7 Mesa Boogie!
    Hummmmm. not convinced the guy. I decided to turn this mesa boogie (which over time will be prove to be a dead lamp). I fucks him in the stomach SOVTEK 12ax7WB a lamp I had left was the days when I had my head VHT Pittbull. it's one of the lamps there was upstairs of. I close, I plug in, turn up the sound!

    OH FUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Potato, precision, punch, dynamics, hamronique ... I do not know my bassman sounded like a plexi time boost in 1000

    it is a HUGE pedal in its sound, grain, output level. A yeah I forgot to tell you that suddenly, leaving all the knobs at noon, the volume of the pedal is pass "BOTTOM" "22h adjustment." Stronger and AC part by feedback.

    The equa is terrible and very effective, it can sciseller a nice little sound with a lot of precision. Really top the TK999.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    It has a worry! there is only a TK999 TK999.

    Why worry? well I'm going to buy me more. For what is enial is cum gain 0, a little twist of turning up the volume, and we are left with the crunch of a plexi, but a barge thing. I have the impression of being Malcolm Young.
    With 11h gain, I am Angus and gain 3 hours, I VH!
    There is a monstrous reactivit and versatility in this pedal. Tres far the best pedal to drive on which I played.

    I will never part with it.
    110 euros secondhand with diode not work and 12AX7 to change. Briefly, to 130 euros, I have an unnamed killing. it's good to feel invincible.

    Except that here the sound of the tube king was not at all appointments, the lamps are no utilities we do not feel it is completely transparent, it would be necessary to put some more? ago after the debate on the lamp change, is it really worth the trouble ... especially since it is not an operation for novices, with testing a version upgrade with a 12AU7, there is better but not enough to go running to buy .... especially our time's not good pedal drive missing ...
    The only pedal I kept lamp is the Tube Driver with bias knob that I strongly advise you and is well above the Tube King

    I play with since 1996, I replaced the lamp with a 12AX7 mesa boogie.
    I found it great in rhythm but a little too sharp solo. Following
    advice mentioned by my predecessors, I put a 12AU7 Electro harmonix,
    and there is the slap. Obviously I played a VHT Pitbull, but those who say
    that is not metal with this distortion did try this lamp's is really cheap. After everyone's tastes but I'm not ready to change.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is fabulous with it I get a saturation trs rock (I use it in normment Lead). Lots of sustain, a grain inimitable. Of tightening in the grain with my Boss pedals SD1 is really great. A great pedals.

    A low point against: the noise gate Intgr (the pedals produces only trs little background noise so I do not activate it) tends dtriorer lg rately the signal (low sustain). That's a dish that I was only 8.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 1 year (I had sold to redeem). It's really a PDAL has a personality. CHRE is a little, but it was worth every penny (it is 100 euros used on average).

    Trs really good hardware.

    Gain and Volume
    EQ: Bass, Middle and Trebble
    Switchable noise gate integr
    External power supply adapter (included)
    A stable pedals well thanks its weight and grips.

    UTILIZATION

    A lamp and an EQ, everything is easier to use. We can get close to the TS9 (a mild overdrive) until well get a good distortion acid.

    No need for manual, just use his ears.

    For cons I do not use the noise gate incorporated but it is very effective too.

    SOUND QUALITY

Nothing too serious, since they are beveled on the inside, and then recovering super easy to the right place.

    UTILIZATION

    Personal I use not the noise gate, no need.
    The original lamp is actually a bit noisy in the high, but once changed (Ei elite for me) the noise generated by the pedal is quite bearable on stage or repeating. In the studio it will turn, but there are techniques for studio ca.

    The Equal is very effective, the master volume super convenient, and the gain is really going on in the crunch of the overdrive up Satus evil which I am very fond (gain at 3 o'clock).

    SOUND QUALITY

    On this setting (gain at 3 o'clock, volume at noon) I love the sound.
    And I can say this without blushing. I tried many distos pedals, preamps and while staying within a budget. So no mesa boogie or other Soldano, Diezel, etc. ... But boss pedals (DS1 and DS2), a fuzz factory, a tubeblower Jacques, a Bluesbreaker marshall, marshall JMP1 a more tried other pedals in the store.
    It's the sound I love. The king of my tube. Shielded harmonics (I know not how, but it's the only pedal that does the same harmonics out of my guitar is impressive), very versatile, capable of heavy metal with a limit distos EQUAL V, and good 70's rock overdrive with mediums slightly raised.
    For crunch, quite honestly, I prefer to push a little gain my amp (laney lc15r) and put the Bluesbreaker on. But results, with an AB / box, I have a three-channel preamp under the feet: o)

    OVERALL OPINION

    Between us is a long story:
    It was my first distortion pedal. Lots of small concerts, full repeat.
    And then one day I sold all my stuff to move to a system "any rack".
    I then spent several years trying to find a real distortion, without blowing my budget either. I thought many times have qqchose of drinking, but not ecstasy. And then a few weeks ago, I saw a tube of King OCCAZ a € 100 on ebay. Dipstick taken by nostalgia.
    The claque!
    My god, I forgot how much this pedal has the sound, the one I love, sharp and warm at the same time, able to make me a bad boy.

    Briefly, for those who only read the last line:

    UTILIZATION

    Manuel almost non-existent (one sheet ...); but it is Ralite pointless in the sound that comes out of this thing!

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effect is excellent, which is a PDAL I did not even spar APRS leaving the guitar to bass.
    It is able to turn any amp transistors two bullets jewel ...
    Impressive musical. Rglages VERY effective. A dixime turn on any knob that is. It accde both the crunch that the distortion free, pushing up hard by boosting with a legalization buggers.
    My sounds prfrs remain with Les Paul, of mdiums pousss, not bad treble in one Marshall unencrypted.
    Pedals that allows a play on the nuances of the game, as the distortion (finally!) Proportional to the stroke mdiator.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought in 1998. I played until 2003. I have a ready-time guitarist in my group. I do not spare anything in the world!
    The only problem is that for perfect happiness, it would have taken me to switch several DIFFERENT types of sound!
    Was released at the same time the compressor version, if it is as good as the distortion, I'm interested in my bass!

    Tube distortion pedal, 3-band EQ, Noisegate

    UTILIZATION

    Well it is not very complicated to use an effects pedal in general. There's a drive, a master switch and a 3 EQ: I think the manual can remain in its box.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I long to find the pedal that would give me the sound desired. This pedal is magic, you can get a little gentle crunch for rhythm and then a big slobbery distortion at will very vintage. Overall the sound is still very hot and creamy, perfect for blues, for example. I'd be a little more mixed asking for music sounds cooler to see metal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It can be done 8 years that I have this pedal and I never found her replacement.

    Note that a lamp change is likely to improve the sound if you are not satisfied completely

    The aggressive crunch of distortion.

    pass the 3 / 4 gain the sound becomes rough.

    it sounds much better than any of distortion pedals I've tried without lamps.
    the sound is closer to the TS808 I makes me even.

    The qualisation is quite effective. The knob acts as a boost mdium is enough Drout.

    The bypass is absolutely crap, I have to plug the loop on a TK boss PSM-5 to get my home clean.

    I play on an Eastwood P-90 Special plugs into a Laney VC15 and Marshall VS65r

    Tube overdrive pedal.
    Format above average, but fits easily into a pedalboard (not like the new TK999 HT diamond ... grrr!)
    Beware the transformer provided by the original Ibanez is 10v and the pedal does not work with a 9v transformer type Boss.
    Mine is installed in a fixed pedal from the beginning, so no manipulation of jack, so no problem of connectivity.

    UTILIZATION

    Could not be more simple. A stomp switch, one set of drive effective, level and equalization bass-middle-treble super accurate.
    Ass of the pedal on-off switch for the noise-gate and a mini knob to assay its effect.

    Format above average, but fits easily into a pedalboard (not like the new TK999 HT diamond ... grrr!)
    Beware the transformer provided by the original Ibanez is 10v and the pedal does not work with a 9v transformer type Boss.
    Mine is installed in a fixed pedal from the beginning, so no manipulation of jack, so no problem of connectivity.

    UTILIZATION

    Could not be more simple. A stomp switch, one set of drive effective, level and equalization bass-middle-treble super accurate.
    Ass of the pedal on-off switch for the noise-gate and a mini knob to assay its effect.
    The small downside is the plastic buttons that are the trunk to each transport. I also lost There's a long time.
    The manual frankly ....
    A Yes, and it allows itself to appear to think in circles is not a permitted true bypass. Okay, but frankly if we did the list of the greatest guitar solos recorded through true-bypass pedals without ... (Hendrix, SRV, Gary Moore, Van Halen, Santana takes a little ...), stop there.

    SOUND QUALITY

    This ... I bought this pedal in 1996. I decided to break my piggy bank for something good once and for all (think about it guys, because if we did count of the number of crap you can buy and we regret in a life of guitarist ...).
    It is 2009 and this toy is still on my pedals and for a long time. This is my main lead sound for the big rock, rubbing a kindly Ibanez TS10 (for blues) and a Bixonic Expandora (for rhythmic crunch). Even after all this time, every time j'enclenche this pedal I say, damn it sounds! Lamp hear you right away with a grain of harmonics and terrible. Depending on the setting you can sound like Gary Moore, Billy Gibbons, Santana or ACDC (yes!). Digging mediums you can even sound metal. I tried the Tube King on many tube amps or transistors, and I always had a big sound. The noise-gate, do not abuse it, there's better, but it helps out well when you walk on stage or the area is contaminated with all fixtures or improper installation (and it happens more often than you think believe me, even in rooms known hyper ...).

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well I stop my comments dythyrembiques, you understand I'm addicted to this pedal. The sound is very subjective and therefore subjective, it is best for me ... (lol)
    I had a lot of pedals, Boss OD-2 Blues Driver, Ibanez OD9, Amt Tube Platinum Sound and California, H & K Tubeman I, TS9, TS10, TS5, Carl Martin HDB MK3, ShredOmatic Akai D1, Expandora Bixonic, j 'forgets, I've tested lots of other topics ... and if I should keep that to go around the world would the Tube King!
    Paid 1200 francs at the time I think the value, reliability and satisfation is pretty good.
    So if it gives up the ghost, I bought one right away or I had it repaired!
    PS: I have not tried the new version and given the samples should not be that bad either (but damn form, must not be guitarist for inventing this ...)

    All adj t say!
    a lamp ... between right and left output (what ide ...)

    UTILIZATION

    Simple in appearance ... but the pots are hyper sensitive ... not empty forcment to remember (Note, ok) And because the rglages seem inter-active ...

    In addition, the pedals will meet the characters of the guitar! when I go to strato ES335, rglage equivalent, the sound is radically DIFFERENT, and that's good!

    In addition given that according to the lamp which is the indoor sound is difrent ... the possibilities are huge!

    I tried it with 4 lamps diffrent:

    - Sovtek 12AX7-LPS: the sound is always loud, aggressive ... not friendly at all, even low gain. To avoid.

    - Sovtek 12AX7-wa: ove…

    - Sovtek 12AX7-wa: overdrive vintage Stevie Ray Santana. Not too much potato, but beucoup of heat is fontion sustain the gain. The beginning of race (gain 0 3) allows crunches trslgers not obtained with other lamps

    Electro-Harmonix 12AX7-: modern overdrive. More gain, potato, more "hard rock" but less possible for beginners course.

    - Chinese unbranded lamp or indication that I was buying the pedals used: the one between the distortion and grain well with gnaque mchant mid race pass of the gain ...

    see the choice in terms of light ... there is necessarily a way to find happiness!

    SOUND QUALITY

    I use it with the Sovtek 12ax7wa ... Start with the 'I play SRV gain 2. A 5 The Black Crowes ... 10 Deep Purple!

    With the 335, even gain ... SETTING THE is the british blues, AC / DC, Santana.

    It is Submitted on each of my songs, that ds is a cruncher ... or more (of "Cheers" with Little Miss T does it cost:

    OVERALL OPINION

    I for 9 months ...
    I like the lamp, the dynamic compliance of the characters of the instrument.
    What I like least is having to change the lamp (dvisser screw and the 8 screws!) If tomorrow I want to put metal.

    Basically once you pierce "his" light, one is happy!

    I do it again this election, yes ... I have to pay 100 OCCAZ! And it's funny the endeavor to "the" lamp ... I will continue to explore ... Mesa Boogie, Mulard etc ... I seek enlightenment (with a lamp that's normal right?)

    Distortion full of integrated circuits and a floor lamp for a little heat
    Mr. ibanez t eh you're wrong: a 12 AX7 tube works with a voltage of 6.3V or 12.6 v but no 9 volt regulated (the blow is not enough heating voltages and very soft)
    remedy: find a 12 volt transformer regul (or make a power supply of 12.6 volts dc regule, contact me for the schema) and the pedal sounds very very good (good c is not an orange overdrive 120 a background but c is still very acceptable for the price)

    UTILIZATION

    Gain and master eq looks like a marshall jcm 800

    SOUND QUALITY

    No bypass is not a true bypass, but c is quite easy to transform (contact me for the pattern of true bypass)

    I like not too much noise gate integrated but just a matter of taste

    OVERALL OPINION

    Buy grid transforms from 10 euro (13 volt transformer, vintage Telefunken tube, true bypass, integrated circuits on it with support and texas rca 4558 tl 082, jack england cliff, two switches, one for on / off and a gain boost)
