TX-1 “Bell Tone” Pedal The TX-1 was designed to capture the elusive magic of a tube amplifier pushed into saturation. It delivers crystalline highs, natural compression, and the harmonic bloom that define the sound of an amp at its peak operating level. Built around a real preamp tube and transformer, powered at full wall voltage, the TX-1 responds and feels like the heart of a vintage amplifier in motion. The concept began when George set out to recreate the sound of an amplifier working in its sweet spot — not necessarily overdriven, but alive with clarity and depth. That crystalline tone, where notes ring like struck bells and chords breathe with dimension, only occurs when an amp is operating exactly as it was designed to. The TX-1 was built to deliver that same experience at any volume, distilled into a meticulously crafted pedal. Every unit is hand made and hand wired in the USA, using only the highest-quality components. Built to order with a 3–4 week lead time, the TX-1 is crafted as a collector-grade instrument — designed to stand the test of time and built for players who demand authenticity in both tone and construction. Please note: the product photo shown is of the prototype. Final production units are hand built to the same exacting specifications described below.
