Ibanez TK999HT Tube King Distortion Pedal

The Ibanez TK999HT Tube King is a genuine high voltage stompbox.
While the name and purpose of the new pedal is the same as the original ‘90s models, this version of Tube King, the TK999HT, differs from its two predecessors in that it features internal high voltage DC circuitry instead of previous starved plate low voltage circuitry. Ibanez says that makes a significant difference. Includes AC adapter.

“Using the ‘starved plate’ circuitry, the tube in the original Tube Kings really acted more as a filter to achieve tube tones.” commented John Lomas of Ibanez Electronics. “But with the TK999HT the 12AX7 gets normal DC high voltage, allowing total linear operation of the tube. It works just like a tube preamp because it effectively is one!! The result is that the TK999HT makes any solid-state amp sound just like a tube amp. The distortion is massive yet tight.”

Subject:Only Distortion Box You Need
Quality: Built great, no quality issues.
Sound: I run this through a Randall half stack (solid state) I purchased here a few months ago and it added alot of depth and warmth to it, if you like the tube sound and have a solid state amp buy this now.
Reliability: Have not had any issues, it's built like a tank and weighs almost as much, don't drop it on your toe it would cause a difiguring injury for sure.
Overall: This is a well built stomp box with all the feature it needs, the void (noise gate) that is built in is great, you can tune all the hum out and when you touch the strings it will blow your hair back. The timid will learn to run when they see your foot about to activate this thing, it can really make an amp scream.
Playability and Feel: Well layed out controls, and the sound you can get from this feels good.
Tone: You can get and endless list of tone from this thing and being able to cancel out that annoying hum when you got things cranked up is very nice.
Finish: Looks cool.
Action: n/a

Subject:Great tube drive
Quality: Seems to be made of a solid metal casing.
Reliability: The solid metal casing, footswitch, tubeholder, controls seem to be well made and will last a long time.
Overall: Has great sounding drive and tone.
Playability and Feel: Has a good footswitch and controls. The only thing I hate about this pedal is the way they make i diamond shaped instead of square or rectangle. I know this sounds stupid but if you want to line it up with your other pedals its annoying.
Tone: Has great tone. I get a great midrange crunch out of it and you can get a good scooped drive out of it too. I put a boss superoverdrive in front of it to give it a boost.
Finish: Has a cool read paint shop on its solid metal casing. The glowing tube looks cool.
Action: Footswitch works good.
Skill Level: Semi-Pro

Quality: Great so far....heavy, durable.
Sound: Great....lots of options.
Reliability: NA....new!
Overall: This thing is great. The variety of tone/drive you can get is unsurpassed. Adds warmth to a solid state amp.....will not make it sound like a tube amp but does add a bit of warmth and fullness.
Playability and Feel: The best distortion box I've played. Very versatile. You can dial in a 70's Aerosmithy kind of sound all the way to a super heavy fuzzy Fudge Tunnel
Tone: Versatile...easy to adjust and responsive.
Finish: Nice bright red color....not sure who buys effects based on color buts......pretty!
Action: Easy to use.

Subject:Distortion Monster!!!!
Quality: Had it for a short while, but it really looks good
Sound: I have the boss ds1, and bbe tubescreamer. The boss ds1 is was taken off my pedalboard within 10 minutes of plugging this monster in. Man i really realize what I was missing. Organic meaty thick tube distortion tone. Man power chords are thick and chunky. I play thru a blackheart handsome devil with a celestion v30 in it and im telling you i have a sound I really can create music with and just love. This pedal brings out the beast in my amp hands down. Im playing with a esp xtone pcv-1, Also have a fender tele but havent played it thru the tube king yet. Im sure i will be delighted. Excellent buy for my style and taste.
Reliability: N/A
Overall: I just recently purchased this product and it very sturdy and seems like it can take a beating. This is a distortion monster...It can cover any genre im sure without a problem. I play indie/alt rock and im done looking for distortion pedals. Works well with my tube amp. Comes with EH12ax7, Amp can become a little cleaner and organic with a 12at7 or 5751 tube. Real heavy distortion with the electro harmonix tube in there.
Playability and Feel: N/A
Tone:
Finish: The finish is red and this is a big pedal, Looks like Jupiter and my other pedals are like earth. Weird Shape, Tube looks cools thru the glass window!!!! You can use it as a weapon if u need to...lol!!!
