The main features of the Tube Factor include
I own one of these H&K Tubefactors for 7 years now. Ive never had any technical issues or noise issues, the build quality is great and it can definately endure heavy touring usage. The overdrive or green mode is fantastic for boosting your clean sounds, pushing your amp into overdrive, crunch sounds and boosting lead sounds. It adds beautiful rich and warm tube tones and dynamics to any guitar sound. The voicing knob makes this pedal incredibly versatile and tweakable to a wide range of musical styles. The distorion or red mode is great for anything blues to rock to metal. The sound is to my opinion very open, I dont dial in much gain, but push the amp with a higher output level which creates fantastic plexi kind of tones which sing with great dynamics. I love this pedal as its super versatile, super simple to operate, gets a great sound from any amplifier and its super reliable.
