Featuring a genuine 12AX7 preamp tube, the Citadel Electronics Overtuber is their nod to the esteemed Tube Driver pedal. Perfect for low to mid-gain overdrive sounds, it’s the ultimate pedal for all things blue, rock and ‘80s metal. Featuring an independent boost, the Overtuber covers it all from lead to rhythm and it’s an excellent way of giving your single-channel amp an extra channel or simply adding some valve warmth to a solid state/digital setup.

Key Features

  • Initial State – Set the pedal’s power-up state using the hardwired ‘initial state’ switch, perfect for when using with pedalboard switching systems, and you want to ensure that your pedal always powers up on.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.
