The Tubesteader ROY™ is a dual channel tube preamp and overdrive pedal inspired by the iconic Top Boost amplifier, the unmistakable "Voice" of many classic British Invasion records. Designed to capture the essence of that chimey, sparkling clean tone and distinctive upper mid breakup, it delivers warmth and punch without ever sounding harsh or brittle.
With two identical channels, each featuring independent gain and volume controls, ROY offers fluid transitions between clean and overdriven tones, allowing you to set each channel to your preferred levels. Whether you're switching between crystalline cleans and gritty overdrive or blending both for a dynamic range of textures, ROY’s design puts tonal control right at your feet.
The dual band EQ brings further tonal flexibility, featuring interactive Treble and Bass controls that subtly shape the mids for a more dynamic sound. The addition of a Tone Cut control provides a master treble roll off after the EQ, allowing you to refine the brightness of your sound while maintaining its character and clarity. This simple but effective EQ section ensures that your tone remains balanced, whether you're dialling in jangly cleans or rich overdriven textures.
At the heart of the Tubesteader ROY is its innovative circuit, combining a high voltage transistor in the first gain stage with a 12AX7 valve operating at 260V. This hybrid approach delivers the natural compression, touch sensitive dynamics, and slightly spongy feel that players expect from a classic valve amplifier. It responds beautifully to your playing dynamics, offering smooth, amp like breakup and an organic feel under your fingers.
Tubesteader ROY integrates seamlessly into any rig, whether you're using it as a clean tube platform, a standalone preamp, or as part of a larger pedalboard setup. It pairs effortlessly with other effects, enhancing your signal chain with its warm, vintage inspired voice.
Built into a rugged, die cast aluminium enclosure, Tubesteader ROY is designed for durability and reliability. Compact enough to fit comfortably on any pedalboard, it’s equally suited for stage or studio use. The pedal’s intuitive layout is complemented by practical details such as external channel switching capabilities via a 3.5mm jack and a dedicated power supply for optimal performance. Its LED indicators provide clear feedback during live performances, ensuring you stay in control at all times.
Visually, the Tubesteader ROY evokes its vintage inspiration while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic. Its graphics and layout are not only striking but also intuitive, making it easy to navigate its controls even under stage lighting.
For guitarists players seeking the timeless sound of a vintage British amp in a compact, reliable format, the Tubesteader ROY delivers a perfectly balanced blend of tone, texture, and tactile response. It’s an essential tool for players who value tone that inspires, a build that lasts, and a design that just works. With ROY on your board, you’ll have everything you need to channel those classic sounds and make them your own.
