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.
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 ...)
