Description

here at Just Pedals we love this Maxon TBO-9 True Tube Booster/Overdrive Pedal.

The TBO-9 combines Clean Boost and Overdrive capabilities with a tube gain stage to create a versatile tone-shaping tool.
The ideal complement to non-master volume tube amps, the TBO allows you to drive a clean or semi-clean amp to the breaking point, giving it that “on 10” tonality at a much lower volume level and without altering the amp’s signature tone.

The TBO-9’s tube stage is controlled by the Boost knob which adds a fat, warm bottom end with a slight mid bump as it increases the output level.

The Drive knob blends clean and distorted signals, allowing the user to dial in a small amount of grit with minimal coloration.
The TBO-9 features internal voltage doublers that bump the incoming 9 VDC up to 30 VDC for massive headroom and maximum transparency. 

When you need to drive your amp without driving the audience towards the door, the TBO-9 does the job without commanding the center stage.

Guitar FX

Just Pedals is a new Guitar Effect Pedals Marketplace – We feature new and used Guitar Effect pedals from different sellers, to purchase online from the UK.

Pedal

A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.

This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.

Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.

Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.

Tube

A tube pedal incorporates vacuum tube (valve) technology to deliver the warm, dynamic, and harmonically rich tone that many guitarists associate with classic valve amplifiers. Unlike solid-state or digital effects, tube-driven pedals provide natural compression, smooth breakup, and responsive touch sensitivity, making them a popular choice for overdrive, distortion, and preamp pedals.

Brands like Effectrode, Electro-Harmonix, and Victory produce high-quality tube pedals that enhance a player’s sound with real valve character. Whether used as a boost, preamp, or full-fledged overdrive, tube pedals add an organic warmth and depth that digital emulations often struggle to replicate, making them a prized addition to any serious guitarist’s rig.
