OVERDRIVE- LIGHTNING BOY Audio Thunder Knob...maybe a game changer???

$189.00 USD



 LIGHTNING BOY AUDIO THUNDER KNOB 



So with one knob and one switch this better be good!!!
It is! Simple with a no bars attitude of designing a real tube OD by using a very high voltage. I mean kill you high. LOL. This pedal is a virtually a simple vintage build tube preamp. Flip it's switch a it's near flat EQ jumps the highs and boosts the crap out of it. LOOK OUT WORLD!!!! I find the OD feature as nice as it is secondary to it's relatively flat frequency response when the boost is off. The sound is fat rich sumptuous and smooth and bordering on crunch.

THE PERFECT PEDAL TO STACK ALL YOUR OD's into ...it will turn them all into the very REAL deal. Yes the 'sacred tone' of TUBE'S !!!
Alternatively it would make an incredible booster in front of your dirt boxes.


Totally hand wired with a 12ax7 tube. these tubes are virtually the guts of any pre in any amp
Marshall...Vox...Fender etc. but can be substituted with other tubes to change the voicing.
For example you can put in a 12au7 which should effectively turn the pedal into a clean 'channel' preamp which would be great if you want to give a solid state amp a tube voicing.
You could even use this in front of one of the very small pedal board amps. Perhaps add a modestly priced graphic EQ and with just 3 small pedals added on your board you would only need a speaker cab to take to the gig. It could also be a cost effective way to go stereo.






At $189.000 USD it is in that range of the seriously competitive pro pedals from $180.00 to $225.00 that dominate the market. So it is the same range as the transistor pedals.This makes it both cheap and viable.

$189.00 USD
