A DREAM SOUND IN A BOX
Tubesteader preamps capture the signature sound of the classic tube amps and recreate them in a convenient pedal format.
Connected directly to a power amp or cab sim, these preamps allow you to take your favorite big amp tone anywhere.
AS REAL AS IT GETS
Built using a no-compromise approach to the design, Tubesteader pedals are true tube preamps operating at appropriately high voltages.
Our products are designed to last and come with a five-year warranty. Made in Canada.
