Three Epic Tube Overdrives: B.K. Butler Tube Driver, Effectrode TD-2A Tube Drive & Blackstar HT-Dual

Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals! Today, we're going to take a quick look at three fantastic tube-driven overdrive pedals: the iconic B.K. Butler Tube Driver; the TD-2A Tube Drive from Effectrode; and the Blackstar HT-Dual. We'll leave the EQ's fairly flat (though I try to match them a little bit) so that we can better compare the fundamental sounds. So this is by no means an in-depth review of these three pedals - but it will allow you to hear them side-by-side and see some of the core differences between them. What do you think? Are tube overdrives the best things in the world? Or are you not a fan? Comment below!
