OVERDRIVE
Description
The Real Tube Overdrive is a vintage floor-mounted overdrive/preamp unit (designed in the ’80s) by B.K. Butler under the Tube Works brand. It uses a 12AX7A pre-amp tube to deliver “real tube” overdrive sound rather than relying on solid-state emulation. It features five knobs: Output, Drive, High Boost, Mid Boost, and Low Boost (a three-band EQ + drive + level layout).
