BIG AMP TONE. NO BIG AMP NEEDED.
Tubesteader pedals are high-voltage tube preamps in a compact format. Each one is inspired by a classic amp and built for its signature tone and feel—without the weight or price tag.
NOT AN EMULATION. THE REAL DEAL.
These pedals use real tubes and real amp circuitry, just like the originals.
Run them into a power amp, cab sim, or recording interface to bring your favourite amp tones anywhere.
Made in Canada and backed by a 5-year warranty.

COMPACT SIZE
The circuit is neatly packed in a rugged, lightweight, and pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
