Mine expand with exposure, anything funky is extra interesting, but it is far far easier to list music I don’t like. Funny enough, that list shrinks with time. For example, I hated Emo music as a kid, but my wife loves it and got back into it with umbrella academy, I got to admit, there are...

How is the high end before roll off? Any tonal shift from clean up there?

I wonder if taming the saturation a bit in the high end would make it more warm and cuddly. At any rate, the cheap clone in my rack rarely gets driven to break up if it ever has, it certainly sounds tasty in the fairy dust region though, seems this pedal may thrive there too.

Wow, just now seeing this. What is the verdict on how it sound compared to predecessors? I dug the original but it was big for the board and I ended up with a Walkabout head. I regretted getting rid of it in part for how stink’n good a Moog sounds through it. Though Mr. horse built it for...

I don’t need this but I want it. I like my rack Pultec clone, I like some of the Pultec VSTs. I’m interested to hear more on the driven tones and to hear feedback on its dynamic response. I’ve hardly used my Empress Bass Para EQ, maybe I’ll get this and which ever sparks more joy gets kept...

Singular Tube DRVE won out. It is the only pedal I tried that I like more than the 4ontheFloor. It is just so tasty in every gain setting and for triode and pent. High gain pent can even sound like a more controlled Plasma Coil with its sharp attach and breakup. Using my parametric mid on my...

First impressions on the Tube Drve are positive. It is a nice tone enhancer with just a hair of grit in low gain-assym-triode. Low gain-assym-Pentode adds a bit more hair but overall same tone enhancement. It does what I want, lil tone enhancement plus some grit for filters-Phasers-flangers...

I got a Tube Drve on the way. Looking forward to getting some even and assymetric harmonics in triode and more crunch in pentode. Before getting the DCX Bass I tried the UA 610 plugin and was not impressed. Perhaps it just isn’t the sound I’m going for. I will try to find time to mod Blumes...

I love the highs coming out of the 50T DI or Pf-112 tweeter. But on the rare occasion I need them dialed back the treble knob is very well designed.

I’m not a tubeologist, though I think I remember reading here a person from ampeg saying that it was designed to sound about the same with any good tube. I was already in there replacing the power tubes because the originals were having issues. Figured I’d experiment with some preamp swaps, I...

You all hear a difference with the vintage tubes? I did a swap a while back with some NOS I found in my works bomb shelter, I tried Mullard and RCA (I think) and I did not detect much of a difference. Honestly don’t remember what I left in there.

@Ringhammer I have in the past and am again considering another one or two PF-20Ts. I love putting my synth through it and would have fun with some stereo sources if I had a second. Not sure why it took me so long to realize how extra versatile the transformer side of the DI is. I think I...

Are people still loving the PF-50T? I absolutely love mine, I’ve primarily used for its awesome DI in my humble studio but have have been thumping through its PF-112 lately. I feel silly, but after years of use it wasn’t till now that I realized how snappy the attack can be if you minimize...

Well, I started off thinking I would get a few sub $150 drives and see which felt the best but now I think I am going to do a shoot out between the DCX Bass and the Singular Audio tube Drve. Both small, both capable of some asymmetry and even order harmonics, both capable of subtle grit, both...

Wow, this looks like what I had in my head. I was even starting to map out how to make my own with JFETs with similar bias control but high voltage tube would be even better! And it is on sale. Thanks for the tip. In your experience, does it hugely soften attack or give a bloomy vibe?
