With the Tube Pilot, TC Electronic revives a legendary overdrive pedal from the early ’80s. The pedal’s familiar black-and-tan design is warm and inviting, as is its tone. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the super-simple control layout: with just two knobs, it’s easy to dial in an ear-grabbing sound. Keep the Tube Drive control low for bluesy licks and dime it for velvety, modern leads. Once you find the right drive setting, level match with the Output Level knob. The secret to the Tube Pilot’s great tone is a real 12AX7 vacuum tube that injects a dose of old-school character into your signal. So, grab a TC Electronic Tube Pilot Overdrive today and propel your tone to altitudes unknown!
