EBS Valvedrive

[tubaman2]

I did a little searching but didn't find anything very detailed or helpful. So does anyone have experience with the pedal. Is the tube just a gimmick, or does it really give a nice natural, warm distortion?

yuppers.....but it's better as a drive pedal, then throwing distortion into it....

I'm guessing by "little" searching you meant "no" searching?

The Valve Drive is great! While the under-tube LED is definitely a 'gimmick', the tone is not.

That link didn't work. I did do a little searching, admittedly not much, but I did search. It's nice to get fresh opinions sometimes. I feel kind of dumb asking a question in a 2 year old thread or something.

Don't be so specific. Go into search and use the google search - valvedrive. You'll find more than the fout threads you have here.

But, yes, it good, however, not as dynamic as other "tube emulators".

Of which "tube emulators" do you speak? I must know!

Ok,... Sorry that didn't work. Still, many opinions on your question exist here on TB & are easy to find.

Also, by "dynamic" what do you mean? The EBS isn't really a tube emulator, it really has a tube!
