Compact Tweed-voiced tube overdrive with 12AX7 at 250VDC—MOSFET clean gain stage, 125B format, 300mA/12V.

The Eggnog collapses Tubesteader's high-voltage tube preamp technology into compact 125B pedal format, achieving authentic Tweed amp tones without the large enclosures typical of tube pedals. A MOSFET clean gain stage precedes the 12AX7 tube, providing headroom and clarity before tube saturation. 12VDC external power steps up internally to 250VDC for proper tube operation.

Tweed voicing recreates 1950s Fender amplifier character: warm, slightly compressed breakup with harmonic richness and touch sensitivity that cleans up with guitar volume adjustments. The compact format (roughly 125B enclosure size) makes the Eggnog pedalboard-friendly while maintaining authentic tube response. Reduced power requirement (300mA versus 500mA for larger Tubesteader models) simplifies power supply integration.

Handmade in Canada, targeting players seeking vintage Tweed amp tones in compact format. Suitable for blues, country, and classic rock where warm, natural breakup enhances tone without aggressive modern distortion characteristics.
