This was what i was talking about with my earlier mail on the
Speakeasy pedal wishlist.
Basically, a pedal with both a 12AU7 and 12AX7 with a toggle to
switch between the 2. This would be a really cool feature as you
could instantly switch between the classic warm Leslie sound to that
Jon Lord tube gurgling distortion. It would Possibly need some
sort of limiter to balance out the increase in volume gain/loss
between the 2 tubes i guess? I want one already!!
