 |

Ok, a little crazy... but how about a UV built into a large stomp box format?
No need for speaker outputs, hotplate, output transformer (I don't think)...
Just a box with:
- simple input and output jacks
- mains powered
- two preamp tubes and one power tube in a small perforated metal cage
- two footswitches for true bypass and rock/roll input switching
- controls for vol, treb, bass and attitude
- maybe NR
It would be the ultimate slave preamp / pedal...
Okay, failing that... I'm sure THD could make a kick-ass tube-based overdrive pedal of some kind.

Perhaps with an additional tube driven Spring Reverb in it.
Just as a Box that you set up beside your amp and switch it via footswitches. That would be very cool.

Hello folks,
Check this out:
amptone.com
Cheap power-tube saturation pedal. Damn, I want one.
Input, volume, selfbiasing power tube, trafo, dummy load, lineout.
Thats it, not overdesigned nor overpriced.
Such simple yet brilliant idea.
I hope THD guys will think about this. |

No power tubes there, only 12AX7's.
There are lots of preamp tube pedals. (Electro-Harmonix has a new one I believe) |

| The ZVex Nano is about the closest, but it isn't really a stomp box as such... more like stomp box sized amp. |

True, but it's pricey ($459.00) and it doesn't have a dummy load built in.
It also has full preamp with miscellanous swiches which rises the price.
H&K had good power-tube saturation units (blues master, crunch master), but they were discontinued. |

It is indeed very interesting, but at $700 I would guess it will find a fairly limited audience ... |
