TubeTools®
Spice up your sound with these Custom Class
tone-shaping tools. These unique pedals
are as easy to handle as a classic stompbox,
but feature the musical substance of a real
instrument.
TubeTools’ rich heritage dates back nearly
20 years to 1987, when we unveiled Cream
Machine, the world’s smallest tube-driven
guitar amp. 1992 saw the invention of the
original Tubeman
®
, the world’s first tube
guitar recording preamp. Today these highly
regarded vintage gems are sought after for
their unique sounds and command high
prices on the secondhand market.
TubeTools’ dynamic performance and musical
vitality are rooted in Hughes & Kettner’s
decades of experience with tube technology.
We power TubeTools with hand-selected
thermionic valves running at a hot 300 volts
to get those tubes cooking and serve up a
sizzling sonic treat! Built like tanks, these
pedals get the job done with unheard-of
authenticity. If you want all of the best classic
tones and none of the hassle of dealing with
old gear, TubeTools are for you!
