When we introduced the Tubedreamer in 2006, our goal was to build the best 808-style overdrive. That’s what we built then, and what we’ve pushed further with the mk.2.
The Tubedreamer mk.2 delivers a warm, rich and articulate overdrive, with a carefully tuned midrange that cuts through a mix without ever sounding congested or harsh.
Improved low-gain resolution provides finer control where it matters most, unlocking a wider range of usable tones at lower settings.
At its core, the Tubedreamer retains the legendary JRC4558D chip, just like the most sought-after vintage units.
A 3-diode asymmetrical clipping stage enhances touch sensitivity, responding naturally to picking dynamics and fretting nuances.
New to the mk.2, a no-diode clipping mode removes diode clipping, delivering a more open, dynamic and amp-like response with increased headroom and clarity.
For the first time, the high-gain stage is accessible via a dedicated footswitch, turning the Tubedreamer into a true performance tool.
Dual internal trimmers provide independent output level control for the high-gain stage in each clipping mode, enabling precise matching or boosting.
A selectable power-on state lets you choose whether the pedal engages or remains bypassed on startup.
CONTROLS:
* LEVEL controls the output level
* TONE adjusts the tonal balance
* GAIN sets the gain level
* CLIPPING toggle selects between
asymmetrical clipping and
no-diode
mode (N)
* HIGH GAIN footswitch engages the
high-gain stage
