Some short sound samples of the "Tube Driver" DIY kit. This guitar effect is developed by TH Custom Effects and distributed by Das Musikding.
This is a nice little DIY overdrive pedal with a real vacuum tube. It is really nice for crunch sounds.
I've built this effect in about one day. Basic soldering and electronics skills, as well as a decent soldering iron are needed!
The tube is a 12AT7/ECC81, bias is set to about 2 o'clock.
I've changed the LED wiring a bit, so the red indicator LED is always on (connected to the solder points under the tube socket, which are in parallel with the 6v tube heating), and the decorative LED that is illuminating the tube is connected to the 3p3t switch and lights up when the effect is enabled.

Recorded with a modified Yamaha Pacifica 112 (Neck Pickup: Seymour Duncyn Little '59, Bridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan Custom-5) and a Line 6 Pod Studio GX audio interface. The Amp model used in Line 6 Pod Farm is the AC30 - Clean.
Settings: Drive: 17%, Bass: 42%, Cut: 66%, Treble: 62%, Presence: 13%
Please don't freak out about Line 6, I know a lot of their Distortion sounds, especially the presets, are not good. In this case, only a clean sound is used, which sounds decent! I do not own any professional recording gear for miking my 2x12 and I don't use a camera or even a mobile phone to record guitars.
