To create its lush overdrive tone, the TBO-9 blends this subminiature tube stage with a solid-state distortion circuit. Unlike other tube overdrives, the TBO-9 employs a unique 'pre-tube' circuit configuration, where the tube comes before the solid-state distortion circuit in the signal chain. By cascading the tube stage into the distortion stage, a more realistic tube-amp tone is achieved. The result is a warm yet powerful guitar tone that is extremely interactive with the player's performance and responds exactly like a hard-working tube-amp.
