Members tubezipper Posted November 12, 2008 Members Share Posted November 12, 2008 Haven't seen you around for awhile, Puretube. Are you releasing any new inventions soon? He must! I went through his whole Youtube Channel and wondered, why aren't this sounds/noises in pedals (should say ehx) already? Amazing stuff!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted November 13, 2008 Members Share Posted November 13, 2008 Was there no love for this box? Why was it discontinued? Actually the HC reviews were very complimentary. Anyone playing with one? I've noticed that they don't appear on eBay as often anymore.

So I'm gonna make the opamp version of it, apparently its different and better anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try one out if you get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try one out if you get a chance. If i come across one when I have some spare cash I will for sure. I'd buy a vintage SS one but then I'd have to convert it for use in AU so its cheaper, easier and quicker to just make one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Doctor Robert Posted November 3, 2011 Members Share Posted November 3, 2011 I ordered an EHX Hot Tubes pedal back in 2004 and sold it a month later. Awful distortion unit. No matter how the tone shaping controls were set, I couldn't get a good sound out of it. I bought a Fulltone OCD instead, which is a superior distortion pedal and one I'll never sell. The only cool feature on the Hot Tubes was the fact you could change out the 12AX7 tubes to 12AU7 or 12AY7 and bring the gain down to make it more of a boost pedal with a little grit. I can see why the Hot Tubes never sold well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sparkfriction Posted November 4, 2011 Members Share Posted November 4, 2011 Again, this is why 12AX7--or any preamp tube pedals are a total gimmick. nope - Damage Control Pedals are great (Demonizer a. Womanizer) - great tone and full recording tool or back up at stage to play over P.A. the H&K tube stuff sounds also really good (but dunno which tubes are loaded) and the Radial stuff sounds also really really good - far aways from pedals - my demonizer kicked my dual recti... but it was more the easy carring and setup thing... And i never missed the real amp for the tone and "woof" - more for EQ, Fx Loop and channels... but thats a other story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 Tell us more, for some unknown reason, I'm more interested in this solid state version than the newer tube one. I just plugged it in tonight, so I dont have very much to say about it yet. I have the following EHX dirt pedals:Little Muff PiBig Muff PiDeluxe Big Muff PiBig Muff Pi with Tone WickerGraphic FuzzHot Tubes ReissueTube ZipperGermanium ODLPB2LPB2ube Compared to those, the vintage Hot Tubes probably sounds the closest to a meat and potatoes classic distortion. It's crunchy and open sounding and shines best IMO when the overdrive knob is set to a subtle grit, just on the edge distorting, somewhere between 8:00 and 11:00. For all out searing leads I would be more inclined to use one of the other pedals listed above. There's definitely a whole lot of range in the overdrive knob with plenty of continuously adjustable shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Ruppert Posted December 29, 2011 Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 There are videos of SRV using that pedal!!!! I couldnt resist it But seriously, I've really slowed down on vintage stuff in the last several months. I just plugged it in tonight, so I dont have very much to say about it yet.

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 29, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2011 There are videos of SRV using that pedal!!!! I'd like to compare the Hot Tubes to a Tubescreamer just for reference sake. The Hot Tubes definitely works nicely as just a boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
