ELECTRIC GUITAR SOUNDS BETTER WITH TUBES!—Effects pedals built on vintage, high voltage, vacuum tube technology.
Fast Fact: The Hammond 'Novachord' contained over 160 vacuum tubes. This fantastic machine was developed decades before the first Moog first electronic synth. #hammondorgan #vacuumtube #synthesizer

In the pipe, five by five: 'Glass-A' triode buffers! Note the shiny mil-spec button joints and spotlessly clean circuit board. #effectpedals #guitareffects #guitarfx

Oh-no! The old Sylvania factory is being demolished. The vacuum tubes used in the Effectrode PC-2A compressor, Fire Bottle & Blue Bottle boosters and Mercury fuzz came from this factory. End of an era. #effectspedals #guitarfx #guitareffects

The Tube-Vibe caught my eye, but then, at the bottom of the photo, I saw the Arion Flanger. When I was in my teens I built a pedal board with 5 Arion pedals on it: the Arion flanger, chorus, distortion, compressor and delay. Anyone else start out on Arions? #effectspedals #guitarfx #guitareffects

This is the factory where the tubes were made for our "Blue Bottle" boost pedal. #Sylvania #vacuumTube

In the pipe five by five: the Tube Drive delivers savage, super-saturated, creamy distortion and smooth, bluesy overdrive. Designed in Oregon, USA. Built in Stoke-on-Trent, Britain. #guitarfx #effectspedals #guitarist

There's nothing worse than an amateur paint job on an old #Binson #Echorec. Fortunately with an understanding of solvents, and a great deal of patience, things can be put back the way they should be #binsonechorec

After spending hours shoe-horning this wiring loom into the body of my 335 I now understand why they're called 'f' holes! Squeezing all those CTS pots, switch and socket through the lower f holes just doesn't seem possible does it? #gibson #epiphone #threethreefive

Take your tubes to the local chemist to get them tested: That's how it was back in those days!

Ahh! Shiny! A new old stock Italian manufactured 470KOhm 'Lesa' potentiometer finds it's new home inside a T7E #Binson #Echorec #PinkFloyd

My goodness - check out what the boffins at Sylvania created back in the 1960s - a triple triode tube! #electrontube #vacuumtube #valve

#Binson #Echorec servicing tip #9: Never allow 'Servisol' switch cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to come in contact with old resistors as it dissolves the coloured bands. #BinsonEchorecRestoration
