Radiator Tube Heater
The Locomofon Radiator Tube Heater is a captivating CMOS-based overdrive that breathes new life into your guitar tone. Unlike most overdrives that aim for a tight, modern crunch, this pedal delivers a rich, harmonically complex distortion that evokes the glorious sound of vintage tube amps. At the heart of the Radiator Tube Heater lies a unique CMOS circuit that mimics the behavior of classic 12AX7 preamp tubes. As you crank up the gain, the pedal coaxes out an organic, tube-like compression and sag that smooths out your attack and fattens up your low-end. The result is a wonderfully touch-sensitive overdrive that responds dynamically to your playing, cleaning up beautifully when you back off the strings. But the Radiator Tube Heater is no one-trick pony. Its flexible tone controls allow you to shape your sound, from a warm, creamy lead tone to a fierce, saturated distortion. And the built-in boost function gives you an extra helping of gain and volume when you need to cut through the mix. Beloved by blues and classic rock enthusiasts, the Radiator Tube Heater has graced the pedalboards of many renowned guitarists, including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Rory Gallagher, who prized its ability to conjure the rich, harmonically complex tones of vintage tube amps. If you're seeking an overdrive that captures the magic of the past while still offering modern versatility, the Locomofon Radiator Tube Heater is a must-try pedal.
