Offered for sale:
Used BK Butler Tube Driver with bias mod conversion serial number 0510412.
This pedal is in very good condition.
BK Butler states in their ad:
“Due to the continuing requests for my limited production original design Tube Driver pedal, here are the details:
I'm hand building only limited production numbers every week.
I personally autograph each Tube Driver on the bottoms side.
The design and sound is the same as the original (as supplied to Eric Johnson, David Gilmour, etc) but with improved parts such as Switchcraft all metal jacks, click pots, etc.
Each unit is hand built to my specs and I personally check out each Tube Driver to perfection. Then I engrave my signature on the bottom of the case. This insures authenticity now and in the future!
The custom variable "Bias" mod version is available with an additional custom 5th control (I’ve made several of these for Eric Johnson, David Gilmour, Billy Gibbons and Joe Satriani) is available for $125 extra as it takes more time for me to build. The Bias control allows you to adjust the tube characteristics over a wide range. It's like changing the types of tubes anywhere from a weak 12AU7 to a blistering 12AT7.”
Imperial Guitar says:
“Great overdrive pedal with serious credentials.
There is a large volume of information available about the origins and evolution of this pedal, anyone interested can easily read up on the whole story!”
“We test every used pedal when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. Then we burn it in for an hour or so before we ship so that there are no surprises.”
*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
