By fully utilizing the 12AX7/7025 internal tube, the GD135 preserves the original input characteristics of your guitar’s signal much as a tube amp does. From mild, chimey crunch to a saturated, singing tone, the GD Tube utilizes the internal 12AX7/7025 with a totally different design than other manufacturers.
The result is a seemingly unlimited palette of natural tones which can be further tweaked by varying the controls. Controls: Equalizers LO, MID, HI, Efect Level, Drive, Effect Mode, Volume. To increase the life of the tube and power supply, it is recommended that you plug the power supply into the wall, then into the pedal. Wait for the LED light to start flashing (about 15 seconds) before plugging in the guitar.
Customer review
"This pedal is so unique. It can act as just a boost pedal or tube screamer or heavy distortion. It has a 12AX7 Tube which sounds great, warmer than other tube pedals I've tried. It has the best EQ section I have heard on a pedal. Lo, Mid and highs. And to boot it has a volume pedal that works with or without the overdrive."
