A DREAM SOUND IN A BOX
Tubesteader is a home for the vacuum tube guitar preamps in a pedal format.
These preamps are inspired and derived from the circuitry of the most wanted tube amps.

Our reputation is made by products designed to last. We back it with a five year warranty. Hand built in Canada.
KEY FEATURES
ALL-TUBE DESIGN
No semiconductors are present in the signal path. The sound is gradually amplified by the vacuum tube gain stages throughout the circuit.
COMPACT SIZE
The circuit is neatly packed into the lightweight die-cast aluminum enclosure with the footprint of only 4.7" x 5.7" (120mm x 145mm).
HIGH OPERATING VOLTAGE
Just like full sized tube amps, our pedals use proper tube plate voltage (up to 280VDC) for gain, headroom, and dynamics.
TRUE BYPASS SWITCHING
All our pedals use mechanical bypass switching, keeping your guitar signal unaltered when the preamp is bypassed.
THE BEEKEEPER
The Beekeeper is a two tube, tone machine that gradually cascades gain stages into creamy rich and touch-sensitive overdrive. It includes selectable boost and EQ for dialing in your perfect sound…
THE LIGHTKEEPER
The Lightkeeper is a single tube boost/light overdrive pedal offering the same EQ and preamp stages as
the Beekeeper but for players wanting sparkling cleans to light overdrive…
