Me too, I wasn’t even really impressed by the sound. I think theres better cheaper, sturdier options.

[@officialpoa3171]

*the preamp pedal was used incorrectly! The point of the design is to allow you guitar to hit and actual TUBE PLATE b4 going into your I/O and VST AMPS SIM, so to provide that extra analog tube UMF, needed to make the virtual amp complete.*

[@tyleraho2485]

I thought the buffer really beefed up the sound, but I have never needed a buffer what with being a basement warrior. Id like to hear in that exact set up, the tube based buffer AB`d to a less expensive buffer, and mabye also to a TC spark boost to really hear what the difference is.

[@MykEviiL]

These have be advertised as to be used in combination with AMP SIMS as per the commercial for them with Marty Friedman to add some tube tone to your amp sims.

[@didinkh7929]

In low dc voltage, opamp or transistor are better for buffer than tube. Inside Ibanez Tube screamer has input buffer use transistor 2sc1815 before drive stage and output buffer. I think 12au7 work better in low dc voltage than 12ax7.

[@veergujral6517]

I’m so incredibly sick and tired of everyone trying to push products that “sound like tube amps”. No they don’t and if you want that heavenly tone, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to pay for it and get a goddamn tube amp.

[@Ottophil]

[@metalmaniac8640]

[@Justin-px1jd]

any thought on using these going into an interface to boost or drive plugins? or would it be all the same to use a TS or other boost/drive pedal?

[@pvampman]

Would the Beyond tube preamp pedal be better than the torpedo cab m+ preamp sim? I'm Running the EVH mxr 5150...

[@chickenbeek]

the pre amp - or something like it is something i would use for playing through modelers or plugins to give it some life. that's basically what i see it as, and what Marty plugged it as being for. which is something i've wanted for a long time, i have to have tubes or a tube pre amp. modelers just still don't cut it. still rather use an old mp-1 or any old 80's 90's rack preamp for recording direct than any modern modeler or plugin. but i always figured some simple tube little pre that was reasonably cheap might help with using plugins but his thing is not cheap lol.

[@willesposito9165]

Great for thickening up the DI into amp Sims. I use the tube drive in the presonus studio channel to similar affect. That channel strip gets some hate but I love that thing.

[@jukesters123]

it just sounded like a boost pedal imo.Just turn up the tube screamer.

[@1MrJack1]

I feel like the preamp pedal needs to be run before the amp even though it's labeled a "preamp"

[@volltroll]

you could put the buffer infront of a recording interface to have some tube goodness in the Signal. Tried that with a bunch of pedals and it kinda works. AND if the tuner out serves a proper signal you could run another cable in your tube amp and use the buffer as a splitter.. but also there is a Behringer VT999 for around 60 bucks, which is ugly as hell and big, but it should do almost the same thing as the overdrive.

[@FromZero2HD]

Used to have the vt999 and tried a few tubes in it, Tung Sol was pretty good through modelers, JJ was cool too, but kinda dark sounding as you would expect. Could probably experiment with this also and try different tubes. For the price, you could probably just get a tube driver pedal for massive tube sounds (more on the classic rock/blues/instrumental side though).

[@angusorvid8840]

My main issue with these pedals is the exposed nature of the tubes themselves. I would rather see them contained in metal housing like those old Mesa pedals. I've had too many spills with tubes over the years to want to use one of those things. They're like Fabergé eggs.

[@tompryor3706]

Very informative. Thank you!

[@jeffreyrings9677]

How are they with sims like neural dsp soldano, does it actually bring the sim amp closer to the real one ?

[@LordLucidious]

Fluff! Everybody!!! How does this compare to one of the plush tube buffer?? Or a dumbleiator?? Is it the same idea?? Or is it something completely different?? It sounds like a boost or a tube distortion pedal, I DONT KNOW!! Please give my question a awesome answer you awesome people

[@JakeTerch]

Fluff achieved a real clean tone into the SLO100’s effects return!

[@baggaza]

Saw this in my recommended tab, and was just trying to wrap my head around why one of your videos would only have 416 views. Hmm. Good work algorithm.

[@larryfleming7295]

So you used a setup none of us peasants can aford

[@DouglasComical]

So would this be helpful with a DI recording to add more realistic tube character to an amp sim? Edit: never mind, I guess I should have waited longer to ask a question you answered in the first 5 minutes

[@jean-philippemorin1176]

How they compare to let say, berhinger tube pre?

[@overdriveguitarchannel3403]

Is the small one a tube driven buffer or a buffer and a tube drive?

[@gerrymarumoto3427]

[@natashanyxx9486]

I like the buffer. IMO, they should have had distribution in place before they had someone review the gear. Like, what if I wanted one now that I saw it, but can’t find a vendor?

[@philvance6167]

I had been led to believe that tube pedals are kind of gimmicky since they don't have enough voltage at the plate to do much of anything. Now if one had a 200 volt wall wart..maybe?

[@yotyot9852]

The vacuum tube products of this manufacturer are driven at 9V. There is also no voltage booster circuit. Are you attracted to vacuum tubes that are not driven by high voltage? Beyond is also known in Japan as a smelly company. You should not buy this product. This is just a toy. (※warning)

When you do a comparison test, get used to turning the pedal on AND off....sorry The tube screamer has typically been set to max volume and overdrive very low to push the pre-amp into crunch...oops Would have liked to hear more sweep demoing of the tone controls.
