Being hand-built for most of its life and priced accordingly, it was also one of the very first boutique pedals. During its long life the Tube Driver has appeared in many forms. This is a pedal that has been around for over thirty years and has become a long-standing favorite amongst some of the most elite players in the business for its smooth distortion and boost capabilities. Have you ever had one of those guitar items that you always wanted to try but never seemed to get around to? The BK Butler 911 Tube Driver has been one of those items for me. GUITAR TOOLBOX BASICS: The BK Butler 911 Tube Driver with Bias Mod WEEK 2, not having a good day with the unit, seems noisy, not sure if its my cord fer sure but its not noisy when my amps distortion is on, and cant get that real clean sound i wanted by rolling back the guitar volume knob etc and sometimes hear the fizzle when its maxed out, it is definately an overdriven amp sound though but im taking a break from messing with it cause its frustrating me, maybe it smokes through a nice clean tube amp.A while later, played to Zep 2, stuff like Moby Dick etc, TONE BANG ON, i just have the gain on about 1 oclock as opposed to full max as before, noise cleared up, it sounds like a friggin marshall lol.BK Butler Tube Driver Stepping up to a Classic , it is though an OD, but is way more fun then my Boss Blues Driver BD-2 etc. fun little pedal, i was hoping a little cleaner when volume knob rolled back on the guitar but im not sure how great my pots are etci compared it to my 73 Rams head big muff Pi, while the muff had more chartacter ,the SL Drive had more sustain, which is especially what i bought it for lead work. dont hope on playing Slayer with this though or any metal, this is a Blues/Rock pedal, its i tight sturdy little unit, the thing though if you use batteries you run the risk (as i found out) of changing any of the 4 clips housed in side that offer different tones etc but can get changes cause of coming in contact with the battery as its such a tight fit, i wont use a battery now period, save the life on it etc. Really fun little pedal i was able to immediately dial in Paul Kossoff and Jimmy Page similarish type tones, so thats a start lol.
