Description

The Tubesteader Sunkeeper is a dual channel, all tube preamp and overdrive pedal that impeccably captures the classic "Orange" tone, bringing the iconic sound straight to your pedalboard. This pedal faithfully reproduces the massive, fuzzy gain and edge of breakup grit that define the legendary “Orange” amps, while also offering dynamic British cleans and punchy '70s tones.

One of the standout features of the Tubesteader Sunkeeper is its ability to create truly authentic amp like tones for both guitar and baritone. With two 12AX7 tubes running at 250VDC, the Tubesteader Sunkeeper achieves the rich harmonic content and dynamic response characteristic of a high quality tube amplifier. This ensures that whether you're playing searing leads or chugging riffs, the Tubesteader Sunkeeper delivers a full bodied, organic sound that feels just like playing through a classic "Orange" amp.

What sets the Tubesteader Sunkeeper apart is its remarkable ability to emulate the feel of a real guitar amplifier. The tubes provide natural compression and sag, responding to your playing dynamics with sensitivity and nuance. This touch sensitivity means that when you dig into the strings, the pedal compresses and sags in a way that makes every note feel alive under your fingers, giving you that satisfying amp like response.

The dual channels of the Tubesteader Sunkeeper offer extensive tonal flexibility. The CLN channel features volume, treble, and bass controls, perfect for achieving everything from sparkling cleans to gritty crunch. The OD channel, with its volume, gain, and comprehensive EQ, allows you to sculpt your overdriven tones to perfection. Both channels are completely independent, enabling you to switch seamlessly between pristine cleans and powerful overdrive, all with the stomp of a footswitch.

Additionally, the Sunkeeper’s side mounted OUT LVL switch provides two output options, allowing you to tailor the pedal's output for direct connection to a power amp, the front of an amp, or an FX return jack. This versatility ensures that no matter your setup, the Tubesteader Sunkeeper integrates smoothly, delivering consistently exceptional tones.

For those who love to experiment, the Sunkeeper's 12AX7 valves can be easily swapped with other preamp valves to explore different tonal characteristics. Plus, the meticulous craftsmanship by Tubesteader ensures that every component is built to the highest standards, guaranteeing reliability and superior sound quality.

In summary, the Tubesteader Sunkeeper is a pedal that truly embodies the classic “Orange” amp experience. It offers authentic, amp like tones for guitar and baritone, with a playing feel that captures the compression and sag of a real tube amplifier. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, the Tubesteader Sunkeeper delivers the rich, dynamic sound that has made “Orange” amps a staple for decades.
