#BK BUTLER TUBE DRIVER POTENTIOMETER FULL#
My personal experience has been positive (once I learned that if you pair full range pedals like this with an amp with a prominant bright cap, such as a BFDR, at low volume, you will sound like a Kazoo. He told me that he liked them even better and jokingly said that he was scared that BK would one day stop making them. Around that time, I had the opportunity to interview EJĪnd (afterwards) I asked him what he thought of these versus his older ones. I've got one of the recent ones that BK built for me a couple years back. Well actually it's not if you want to get technical-you have to establish / confirm / presume or assume the "earthed" part yourself, but the 3rd prong is definitely for that purpose and any truly grounded outlet you plug it into makes it so. I'm totally convinced that the sib varidrive and the kingsley jester are far superior as real tube od's ( but then who am I to argue with jb?)
#BK BUTLER TUBE DRIVER POTENTIOMETER MODS#
I know pete cornish mods gilmours with another tube buffer in it and loads of other enhancements I've owned 4 or 5 and i think they're noisy and only useful at massive volumes. might be wrong.Īnyway, i simply don't get all the manlove for the bktd. I seem to recall that although there is a 3 prong plug, it's actually unearthed. They are great with a mono superlead or Hiwatt with reverb.

The reason I dont use the originals live is the lack of earth plug doesnt play well with the F-1, 4 amp rig. What sold me on the new ones was they use three prong earthed plugs. I like using a "used" 12/AT7 as opposed to the AX7 that was stock back in the day. I have 4 original Chandler models including a rack mount with a bias control. While in the sharing mood joe can we have your supa trem and pork loin settings? Great tips Joe, now where did i put the winning lottery ticket? Joe Bonamassa recovering from a slight head cold.

Two Marshall super bass extra tall stereo cabinets with EV-12 L speakers. Pete Cornish will give you chapter and verse why they are shite and what they do in terms of tone suck when in a chain but switched off.Marshall superbass 1968 100 watt plexiglass panel Jester does basically the same, but about 4 times better. If you want Sloe Gin in a box, get a Jester. If anyone wants mine, email me this is one of the staple Gilmour pedals, and it's still a very good pedal, yet I think they're crap compared to the Kingsley Jester, which is in another league. Congrats on the BK Butler Kev, it's one I'll never sell! I feel that it's easier to get the "violin" tone with that particular tube. The 12AU7 also tames a little of the spikey-ness of the JJ 12AX7. There is so much gain in these that you actually get a much more musical and usable range with the lower gain tube. Get a feel for the pedal with that tube but IMO I heard a DRAMATIC improvement in mine with a NOS JAN 12AU7. The tube inside appears to be a JJ ECC83 - is this a 12AX7? It arrived today!! I am looking at it now in my office - can't wait to get home and crank it up.
