About

The Tubesteader is a Montreal-based workshop creating vacuum tube guitar pedals.

Our designs are based on the most sought-after tube amps and producing a very close re-creation of their authentic sound.

The Tubesteader pedals feel and sound just like a good tube amp. Compact size, low weight, versatility in the signal chain, standard DC-voltage power, fair price - just to name a few of the advantages they deliver. And in the heart of each Tubesteader pedal, there is a vacuum tube operating at the proper high voltage.

We enjoy hand-making pedals in our workshop, each one built and tested mindfully. Our credo is simple - when you get a thrill out of your tone, you play better. Designing each Tubesteader device, we are always seeking the tone we love. The tone that would inspire us and make us want to keep playing.
I hope it will do the same for you.

Olly Balan - founder/designer.

The Build


VACUUM TUBE INSIDE
Built around a real tube for the amp-like response and feel under the fingers.


COMPACT SIZE
The circuit is neatly packed in a rugged, lightweight, and pedalboard-friendly enclosure.


HIGH ANODE VOLTAGE
High voltage produces the best tone and natural compression, similar to that found in full-size tube amps.


TRUE BYPASS SWITCHING
Keeping the guitar signal unaltered when the preamp is bypassed.
