TC wanted to produce a pedal that was simple, intuitive and sounded great – with no unnecessary bells & whistles. Despite its innocent and easy to navigate appearance, it packs one hell of a punch inside, and you’ll be amazed by the natural tube sound it puts out, tailorable to fit your style.
The TC Electronic Tube Pilot boasts a tube overdrive sound, this means it features a natural compression and sustain, especially wen pushed hard. They also produce an incredible dynamic range that responds very well to player dynamics and guitar volume adjustments. This pedal’s overdrive comes equipped with all of these characteristics that you would normally find from a 12AX7 tube preamp, and they will clean up nicely when you roll back the volume on your guitar.
