Lately, I’ve been looking at some ‘tube’ based pedals. Today I wanted to talk about the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Classic Preamp / Distortion pedal.
Here is what Seymour Duncan has to say about this pedal:
The SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic preamp pedal delivers all the gain and smooth tone you’d expect from a high-quality tube preamp. The high-plate voltage and 100% vacuum tube signal path allow the 2 – 6021 dual-triode tubes to operate at their fullest potential and provide maximum dynamic range. Two channels expand the tonal possibilities of this preamp even more, from glassy, smooth clean tones to warm crunch with tons of bite. Power supply included.
Seymour Duncan SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic Preamp Pedal Features:
* Uses two premium, military-spec, subminiature, USA-made Philips-Sylvania 6021 dual-triode tubes
* High-plate voltage
* 100% vaccum tube signal path
* Two channels
* True bypass
* Fully encapsulated toroidal transformer for quiet operation
* Heavy-duty steel chassis
I found this great video by ProGuitarShopDemos showing what this guy is all about:
You can pick up the Seymour Duncan SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic Preamp Pedal for $219.95 at Musician’s Friend.

A tube base pedal is a great way to add some balls to a stale solid state amp..i use the Damage Control Solid Metal pedal in front of my TM60 and it cranks out some serious high gain tones..i was tempted to try out the twin tube mayhem from seymour duncan but after trying the Blackstar Distx and the Demonizer, i think i will stay with the DCSM till i get a tube amp.

I cannot say enough good things about this pedal! I use this to warm up my normally sterile Crate PowerBlock. Throw a TubeScreamer in front of this baby and you’ve got some serious scorch! I LOVE this pedal!
