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.
KEY FEATURES
VACUUM TUBE INSIDE
Built around a real tube for the amp-like response and feel under the fingers.
COMPACT SIZE
The circuit is neatly packed in a rugged, lightweight, and pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
HIGH ANODE VOLTAGE
High voltage produces the best tone and natural compression, similar to that found in full-size tube amps.
TRUE BYPASS SWITCHING
Keeping the guitar signal unaltered when the preamp is bypassed.
GAINLORD™
The GAINLORD is a dual-channel preamp / overdrive inspired by classic British amps of the late '60s through the '80s, the amps that defined hard rock. Built on real high-voltage tube circuitry, it delivers the same punch, harmonic richness, and touch-sensitive response as the originals...
ROY™
Roy is a dual-channel tube preamp and overdrive inspired by the vintage Top Boost amp—the “Voice” behind many classic records from the British Invasion era.

EGGNOG™
The Eggnog is a single-channel tube overdrive and preamp pedal going back to the small, yellow-patterned combination amplifiers made in Fullerton in the 1950s. Transform any clean amplifier into a raspy box of vintage tweed goodness.

LIGHTKEEPER
