Manufacturer's Description for Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion Pedal

While the name and purpose of the new pedal is the same as the original '90s models, this version of Tube King, the TK999HT, differs from its two predecessors in that it features internal high voltage DC circuitry instead of previous starved plate low voltage circuitry. Ibanez says that makes a significant difference. Includes AC adapter.

"Using the 'starved plate' circuitry, the tube in the original Tube Kings really acted more as a filter to achieve tube tones." commented John Lomas of Ibanez Electronics. "But with the TK999HT the 12AX7 gets normal DC high voltage, allowing total linear operation of the tube. It works just like a tube preamp because it effectively is one!! The result is that the TK999HT makes any solid-state amp sound just like a tube amp. The distortion is massive yet tight."

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "All Hail The Great Tube King!"

Sound: Truly the best distortion pedal I've ever owned. Perfect for metal tones. I use mine with my Marshall JCM 2000 that I also bought from zZounds. I kills the Ultra Gain channel on the Marshall. I've owned just about every distortion pedal like; Metal Muff, Keeley DS1, MXR Dis III, Hardwire Metal, Tube Screamer TS-808, Boss Metal and so on. None are worthy enough to be on my pedal board with my Tube King! It even kills my TS808 on the Ultra Gain channel. Tube Screamer is ok but it gets noisy if you add overdrive to a gain channel. Tube King not only gets filthy - it also cleans up the unwanted noise with the built in gate. A must have for any metal guitarist. Feature: Hi Gain tube distortion ad a noise gate seals the deal! Ease of Use: Not to hard to use a distortion pedal.. Quality: Built to last. Solid metal housing. Built like a tank. Value: Invaluable! Priceless! Manufacturer Support: You wont need it. The Wow Factor: I've got it and from zZounds! The most underrated music retailer on the net! Overall: Perfect cant be better. I can live without it now. My search is finally over. Thank you Ibanez and zZounds. Now I can thrash and my tone leaves nothing to be desired!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Performs as advertised!"

Sound: You might prefer the tone as-is it comes with an Electro-Harmonics 12AX7 which is a very fine tube. I replaced the EH 12AX7 with an EH 12AT7. The 12AT7 reduced the gain and made the tone smooth and creamy. It shaved off the fuzzy character and really pulled the chords together with nice even harmonics. So for doing what the manufacturer claims it can do, making the sound of an over-driven tube preamp, I must rate this pedal as a " 10 ". The cool thing about anything that uses tubes is you can change tubes until you find your tone.(Don't do the tube swap if you are not aware of the precautions required when working on tube amps, you can get a real hot shock.) Feature: Has it's own easy to use noise gate, which really helps if you have a noisy setup, crappy cords and guitars. Always use the best cords with any gain setup. Comes with a wall wart otherwise that tube would eat up batteries too soon. It's heavy so it won't tip over or walk away. Ease of Use: Easy to use just like any other pedal, nothing extraordinary there. Quality: All metal, rugged foot-switch. Even the tube has a stainless steel holder so it is shielded and won't rattle. Value: Like I said, this pedal works as advertised Manufacturer Support: Haven't tried them. The Wow Factor: It looks good it's not a gaudy color or anything. Overall: It's a welcome addition to my pedal collection and will fill a gap I didn't know I had until now!

Style of Music: Classic rock and Blues
