Rocket 88 Tube Overdrive
Product Description
The Rocket 88 Overdrive by Lone Wolf
This guitar distortion pedal is unique in that it uses a subminiature pentode (a power tube similar to the 6V6 and 6L6) to produce authentic power tube overdrive tone. This pedal can be used as a preamp and/or a distortion device. Other pedals of this sort use a triode tube such as a 12AX7 to overdrive not a pentode and thus the tone is totally different, do not confuse this pedal with pedals using triode tubes. What is the difference? The difference is that overdriving a preamp tube hard produces a harsh distortion where as overdriving a pentode produces more of a crunch from smooth to hard depending on the amount of overdrive. You can get Bassman tone out of a solid state amp with this pedal. The pedal is designed with a high impedence JFET buffer at the input to get the best tone from your pickup and the bypass is a true bypass.
Powered by 2 x 9 volt batteries. Save on batteries, with the 18 volt PSU.
