With the price of vintage HOT TUBES soaring, countless guitarists have requested that we re-issue our 1970s CMOS HOT TUBES. Weve done this using the exact same design and miniaturized it, too!

Volume and Overdrive let you go from a gentle rasp that caresses your notes to a full-blown gain monster with a powerhouse punch. Sculpt your sound with the Tone control, or take a detour around the tone circuit with the Tone On/Off switch. True bypass for a pristine signal chain.

FEATURES

* CMOS overdrive
* Sensitive to your touch and guitars volume
* True Bypass
* Tone bypass switch completely removes tone circuit
* Optional 9.6DC-200 power supply available

CONTROLS

* OVERDRIVE Knob Controls the amount of input gain and distortion delivered by the Hot Tubes. As you turn OVERDRIVE clockwise, the distortion ranges from mild tube-like breakup to saturated distortion.

* TONE Knob Creates a range of tones from warm bass to bright treble as the knob is turned clockwise.

* VOL Knob Sets the output volume of the HOT TUBES.

* TONE Switch When this switch is set to OFF, the HOT TUBES Tone knob is disabled, resulting in a more powerful, direct tone. When the TONE SWITCH is set to ON, the TONE KNOB behaves normally.

* FOOTSWITCH and LED The footswitch selects whether the HOT TUBES is engaged or in true bypass mode. When the effect is engaged, the LED will be lit.

* INPUT Jack This 1/4 jack is the audio input for the HOT TUBES. The input impedance is 100k.

* AMP Jack This 1/4 jack is the audio output from the HOT TUBES. The output impedance depends on the VOLUME setting, ranging from 350 to 3k.

* 9V Power Jack The HOT TUBES can run off of a 9V battery or you can use an optional 9VDC AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 50mA to the 9V power jack. The AC Adapter must have a center negative plug. The battery may be left in or taken out when using an AC Adapter. The Hot Tubes draws 18mA at 9VDC.
