I was wondering if anyone has a schematic for the Chandler rack mount TDR-101 Tube Driver. It is quite different from the original 4 knob pedal- which I bought in 1986/7 but traded in a year later for the rackmount version. WOW, talk about some AWESOME SERVICE! I ordered the bias modded Tube Driver from BK on Monday the 2nd of Feb. /download-midnight-club-3-for-ppsspp.html. We had two long conversations. BK is a great guy. I expected to receive my Tube Driver in about ten days, but I received it on the 4th of Feb.yesterday! He told me that he would get right on it, but WOW.


Just searching 'vintage guitar pedal' at eBay, between all the various & sundry Tube Screamer incarnations, I discovered this old Chandler Tube Driver-- one of the first OD pedals to incorporate a 12AX7. Of course, they don't wanna give it away BUT you oughta see what some of those old Tube Screamers are goin' for, not to mention vintage DA Fuzzfaces.
I also found listings for B.K. Butler Tube Drivers in a more forgiving $$ zone.

I have owned several versions of Butler's Tube Driver, including a few original Chandler/BKB versions from the 1980s, a 1989 Real Tube with 5 knobs, a 911 models, a few 911 reissues with the bias knob, a 1996 Ibanez Tube King, and a Tube Works Smooth pick pedal, among others. He is still hand-building Tube Driver pedals, and says he still does the occasional TD with the EQ points set for bass, as well as with lower gain. He recommends the 5 knob model with the added bias control. He's not building many of Tube Drivers, and does them by hand, so they are fairly spendy- $299 for the 4-knob and $424 for 5-knob.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a BK Butler Tube Driver, for all of the obvious reasons, and came across a 'Real Tube Overdrive by Bk Butler'.
I can't seem to find much info on this pedal. Is it similar? There is a guy in Toronto selling one for $120..but the BK Butler Tube Driver's seem to be around $300..
Is anyone fimiliar with the Real Tube Overdrive? Will I get the 'Violin' tone out of it?
