If you want the BEST in hand made, point to point wired effects pedals, you will choose the Tubester. It is THE choice for serious, working musicians!

"When it comes to great tone, nothing beats a real tube pedal. As a gigging musician, I was frustrated by crappy “tube” pedals on the market, so I designed the Tubester. It simply sounds GREAT! Built like a tank with 14ga steel, I use only the best materials. Each one is individually wired by hand in the U.S., with point to point wiring and the best quality components from Carlingswitch, Switchcraft, Motorola, etc. If you want the best tube pedal at a reasonable price, this is it!"  -Don McCandless , Hot Chili Tube Company

Hughes & Kettner

"The first H&K guitar amplifier, the AS 64 was built in 1985 and then officially launched in 1986.
Serial number coding system. Since 2005 the manufacturing date is also written on a sticker on the rear panel.
Since 2002 we run an ACCESS data base which helps us to track every serial number back to the date of manufacture. Everybody in our comapony has access to this data base - easy.
For manufacturing dates before 2002 we need to send the serial number to the head of the electronics shop. He has filed all production runs and can track the serial number by run. So this is a bit more hassle, but works, too." [Source: Martin Reichhart, Hughes & Kettner, email 26/3/2008]
