Premier Guitar, an esteemed magazine and online resource for guitarists and bassists, has long been a trusted name in the music industry. Since its founding in 2007, Premier Guitar has consistently provided in depth coverage of guitars, amplifiers, effects pedals, and more. Known for its reliable, detailed reviews and unbiased assessments, Premier Guitar is a favourite for musicians who want to stay updated on the latest gear and trends.

In a recent issue, Premier Guitar reviewed the Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™, a high performance dual channel preamp pedal designed by Tubesteader, a respected pedal manufacturer based in Montreal. Tubesteader is renowned for its meticulously crafted valve guitar pedals, each designed to capture the warmth and authenticity of classic valve amplifiers. This particular review of the MAGNEZIUM™ was authored by one of Premier Guitar's trusted reviewers, who tested the pedal in real world conditions to provide an honest, hands on assessment.

The Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™ pre amp pedal is a powerhouse for guitarists looking for versatile tonal control. Inspired by the iconic Magna Super 59 amp, this pedal combines a smooth, southern rock tone with the bite of British overdrive in one compact unit. With fully independent low and high gain channels, players can access a variety of sounds, from rich F style overdrive on the low gain side to harmonically saturated M style gain on the high gain channel, ideal for anything from warm blues to gritty, classic rock.

Beyond its tonal flexibility, the Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™ is designed with high quality components to deliver an authentic amp like feel. This pedal features an all valve signal path powered by two 12AX7 valves running at a full 250VDC, which adds a true valve amp character to every note. Control is simplified with dedicated Volume, Gain, Treble, Mids, and Bass knobs for each channel, making it easy to shape your sound. The Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™ also includes a side mounted toggle switch to adjust output, allowing musicians to connect to a power amp or cab sim for stage use or straight into an amplifier for practice or studio work.

With its robust die cast aluminum casing, protective valve covers, and sleek pewter grey finish, the Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™ is built to endure rigorous use on the road while maintaining a professional appearance. The dual LED indicators and true bypass switching guarantee that players remain in full control of their signal path at all times. Plus, with its five year warranty, the Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™ promises durability and dependable performance for years to come.

The Tubesteader MAGNEZIUM™ is currently in stock and available at FX Pedal Planet Online Store.
