Manufacturer Description

An overdrive booster constructed by replacing the three tube circuits of a high-end vintage tube overdrive with six FETs (semiconductors with characteristics similar to those of tubes). By using FET in the bypass circuit, you can get tube sound just by connecting it.

It has a simple configuration of “TUBE DRIVE” and “MASTER” to maintain the tube sound, but depending on the gain settings, you can create a wide range of sounds from thick overdrive to deep distortion sounds. In addition, to better reproduce the comfortable compression feeling and picking nuances, the power supply voltage can be connected from 9V to a maximum of 15V, so you can experience the difference in sound depending on the voltage, so you can use it according to your purpose and play style.

In addition to using it as a general booster, if you connect the TB-1B behind a booster or distortion device, the sound quality will change to resemble a tube drive sound. Also, when connected to A1FD pro etc., it is possible to create a sound similar to the drive channel of a tube amplifier.
