I've owned all three. Kudos to BK Butler, 2006 I had a Real Tube short out, or something, and he answered my email directly by calling my cell phone and sending me component free. Real Tube is the original masterpiece. I recall having Tube Driver and giving it away, it sorta paled in comparison. Shown above (left to right) - The 1985 BK Butler Tube Driver, the revised 1986-87 BK Butler Tube Driver, the unauthorized 1988 knockoff made by Chandler after Butler parted ways with them, the 1990s Tube Works 911 Tube Driver, and a B.K. Butler reissue of the 911 Tube Driver from 2006. BK Butler Tube Driver - $299 (Standard 4 Knob) or $424 (+5th Bias Knob) (BK Butler) I know this pedal best as a Pink Floyd and David Gilmour fan - where this is one of David's longest serving signature tones.

Bk Tube Driver Vs J Rockett
Hand-builtand personally autograph by BK Butler on a limited number every week.
Be careful, not all BK Tube Drivers listed for sale are hand-made by the man who created it and they will be cheaper than this one.
Accordingto BK, the design and sound is the same as the original (as supplied to EricJohnson, David Gilmour, etc) but with improved parts such as Switchcraft allmetal jacks, click pots, etc.

Each unitis hand built to BK’s specs and he personally checks out each Tube Driver toperfection. He engraves his signature on the bottom of the case (see picture of the one I'm selling with the serial #). This insuresauthenticity. I bought this unit directly from BK. Please go to his site for details at 'butleraudio' dot com.
This tubehas been changed to a JJ Electronic 12AU7/ECC82 tube, but I will send you theoriginal 12AX7 that came originally installed by BK. See Gilmourish’s commentabout the 12AU7 characteristics (google 'gilmourish 12AU7').
