the underground - tube - boost/distortion
‘The Underground’ – Tube – Boost/Distortion pedal by Millipede FX employs a vacuum tube at its heart to bring a natural richness, shimmer and sustain to your tone.
Now you are not limited only by the tones you can dial in with the controls and switches on-board, but you can physically change the tube itself to suit the sound!! The tube is socketed and can be swapped in and out and experimented with. For example a 12AT7/ECC81 is perfect for mid-gain applications, 12AX7/ECC83 for higher-gain and the 12AU7/ECC82 for all around performance.
‘The Underground’ takes its styling cues from the old-school tube amp heads of yesteryear and is fitted with ‘Gain’, ‘Tone’ and ‘Master Volume’ knobs on the side of the enclosure. It also features both a capacitor and diode selector switches for various tone combinations.
The warm sound of a 12AU7 vacuum tube can take your sound from bluesy style boost right through to heavy, harmonic distortion!
