Roy
High-voltage tube overdrive with 12AX7 at 250VDC—authentic tube saturation in pedal format, handmade in Canada.
The Roy delivers Tubesteader's high-voltage tube overdrive technology in a focused format, using a 12AX7 tube running at approximately 250VDC for authentic tube saturation. 12VDC external power steps up internally to voltages typically reserved for full amplifiers, providing the harmonic complexity and dynamic response that solid-state circuits approximate but never match.
Tube-based overdrive responds to guitar volume adjustments and pick attack, cleaning up when played softly and saturating when driven hard. The high internal voltage allows the tube to operate in its optimal range, producing the natural compression and harmonic overtones that made vintage tube amplifiers legendary. True bypass switching maintains signal integrity when disengaged.
Die-cast aluminum enclosure with protective tube cover. Handmade in Canada, targeting players seeking authentic tube overdrive without the bulk, weight, and power consumption of tube amplifiers. Suitable for blues, rock, and country where natural tube breakup enhances tone without imposing strong sonic coloration.
