Been seriously thinking of building myself a 4-Knob Tube Driver pedal, I've built one a few years ago but found that it was a bit of a pain to cram all the circuitry into the small Diecast Aluminium box that I normally use to build my DIY pedals, this time round I'm going to build it into a bigger box like the one I used for my Doctor Overdrive pedal.
So, what is a 4-Knob Tube Driver anyway?, it's a distortion pedal that uses a real 12AX7 high-gain Twin Triode Tube/Valve to produce that distinctive overdriven Tube/Valve sound that lots of guitarists seem to like a lot, the circuitry is very similar to the circuitry in my Baja Real Tube Overdrive pedal, except that it has two tone controls, one for the Lows and one for the Highs, in addition to a Drive control and a Level control, the sound is similar to the Baja Real Tube Overdrive, but it has less mids in it.
Next fortnight I'm going to be working on getting all the parts for the 4-Knob Tube Driver together, once that's all sorted I will be documenting the build process in this thread with a write-up and series of build process pics so you can see how I go about building it, I will also include a hand-drawn circuit diagram together with an explanation of how it works.
Stay tuned for updates.
