The Tube Driver is a popular distortion pedal used by renowned guitarists such as David Gilmour and Joe Satriani. It features an operational amplifier that amplifies the signal, followed by a tube-based distortion section using the ECC83 double triode. The pedal offers a unique sound with a high harmonic content when used at low gain settings, while higher gain settings produce a dirtier and more dominant distortion.
