Members High Gain Posted May 19, 2012 Members Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yes, I know this is a loaded question and the real answer is that it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it... Having said that, I have a buddy that wants me to sell his Tube Driver for him and I really have no idea what it's worth. His is the three knob version with an attached two prong power cord and it's in decent shape with just a few little scrapes and bumps. I'd probably call it a 7 out of 10, maybe even an 8? It's fully functional but it could probably use a good cleaning. EDIT: So it turns out that it's a 4 knob model labelled like this: Tube Driver Real Tube Overdrive Concept & Design : B. K. Butler Chandler Industries, IncSan Francisco Made In USA B. K. Butler gave me the following info as well, "Here is the build date: October 24, 1986, first in the batch. Made in my basement lab in Salina, Kansas. Best wishes, BK Butler" Here's a pic for anyone interested, not mine though- http://www.kitrae.net/music/Pulse%20Era%20BK%20Butler_Chandler_%20Tube%20Driver%20B.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bieke Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 wut ? these used to be worth more than that ? at least 100$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reauchambeau Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 updated my incorrect info ahh, (4 knob) they're worth a lot more. if it's a first issue they were going for $500.00 at one time, the market for vintage gear is {censored} right now so I'd expect $150.00-$200.00. the only guys that seem interested in them are Eric Johnson, David Gilmour freaks. I think Curt Kirkwood from the Meat Puppets is famous for using one too. I've had one for a long time, great pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gambit Posted May 20, 2012 Members Share Posted May 20, 2012 i'm looking forward to it.. hoping it'll save me lots of time hunting down the 'right' drives. plus i can compare it directly with the big box Rat and TS-9. plus hopefully it'll make a couple of other pedals i have redundant. i'm a bit concerned it'll sound too processed and unnatural with playing dynamics after having had an M13 before. but we'll see. i like that i can have 3-band EQ on all these distortions aswell.. bring on the mids!

(say it in Dale Winton's voice) Well, the dm-4 is the reason I sold the rat so it's kinda a coincidence that you've got one. I compared the rat, tubescreamer and fuzz face models to the real pedals and there really isn't much difference in the sound. I've been using it live and on recordings and I think the extra eq makes it more flexible/ lets you match the sound to your amp better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
