It sounds incredible and blends nicely with other pedals. : The Chandler is by and far a better pedal. : I have a Chandler Tube Driver and tried the tube works.

: I've heard alot of debate on this topic. I finally settled on the Mullard though, it does everything better than any other tube I've tried except how the ei12ax7 makes that early EJ sound. To someone else's ears and fingers the 12ax7eh could be just right. Not a bad tube at all it was easy to get a sound that was close to other sounds I liked - but no where near as distinctive of a sound as the other Sovtek tubes I tried. the Electro Harmonics 12ax7eh looks like the Sovtek 12ax7lps (both are made by Sovtek), but the 12ax7eh plate is shorter and the tube sound is kind of a mix of the 12ax7wxt+/jj12ax7 and the 12ax7lps. The sound I could easyly get out of it were the Clifs of Dover and the start of Desert Rose sound. Design wise it looks like they were going for a Mullard smooth plate design, but it's really just distinctive on it's own. The 12ax7wxt+ has this upper mid-range sweet spot that is really nice for notes played above the 12th fret and picked just behind the middle pickup - very much an EJ 'Pavilion' sound if I boost the low end and Colin James 'Bad Habits' sound if I roll the low end off. The Sovetk 12ax7wxt+, and JJ/Tesla 12ax7 tubes gave better definition to the overdriven sound. The Sovtek 12ax7lps (which came with the TWTD) was amaziingly soulful, great blues sound w/strat After 28 years of playing - and using all kinds of effects I finally ran across one that really impressed me. I've tried about a dozen of the tubes that I have heard were the best 12ax/au7s - they all can make a breath-takingly rich overdriven tone, but I really like the sound of a Mullard 12au7 - WOW!! It might not sound like a specific artist with this tube, but I know my sound never sounded better - and this was with a $100 tube works pedal and a $20 tube.

With an ei12ax7 I can get a really close EJ sound (I think the rest is in the fingers) with my Mesa amp and strat - which tells me they must be pretty close in sound irrespective of tubes. 90% of the sound is dependent on the tube used. I have a few of the tube works tube drivers.
