I used it on the clean channel of a Fender Hot Rod Deville. It also performs best with clean, high-wattage amplifiers with plenty of headroom (such as the Hiwatt amps that Mr. The Tube Driver is well-suited to tube swaps, sounding mellower and somewhat more compressed with a 12AU7, rather than the stock 12AX7. Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, and Billy Gibbons have also done their part to canonize the Tube Driver's huge, dynamic overdrive and boost tones. The Tube Driver is legendary mostly because of its association with David Gilmour, who has used two of them on his board since the early 1990's and his work on Pink Floyd's Division Bell. The BK Butler Tube Driver has a sordid manufacturing history, having been made at various times and various places under both the Tube Works and Chandler names, before finally being produced in original form again by Butler himself, via his company, Butler Audio. But it's the best tube driven overdrive pedal I've ever used. But you can still get it on Amazon, probably eBay as well. I'm not sure if anyone's making this anymore or not.
