  • Varidrive Tube Preamp

    Hello there!

    First time posting in the effects area.

    I would like to know if you know a project to build a pedal like this fantastic Varidrive Tube Pream.

    I found this video in youtube if you don't know it. The pedal is the same that uses Dean DeMeo from Stone Temple Pilots, and Van Halen (need to confirm this): YouTube - SIB Varidrive Demo

    thanks and keep the great work!

    Hi,

    I like the sound of that pedal.
    I joined the board like three months ago, and
    posted a schematic somewhere. I had people
    critic it, and then I built it. It is a tube
    preamp utilizing a 12AX7 and runs mid-starved
    at about 120V. After the resistor, I see about
    60V on the plate. It has an awesome sound.
    I could record it for you. I am going to place
    it onto youtube at some point to show it off.

    As to your pedal there, I dont know much about it,
    but I think mine sounds really close to it.

        HI,

        Here's the link to the thread where my schematic is
        about halfway down the page.

        The circuit is real easy to build, and I can build one
        for you and sell it to you via Ebay, once
        you've heard it that is...

        Still perfecting some parts, should be done
        within a couple weeks.
