Replacement tube for original Ibanez Tube King pedal?

gwailoh · 4th March 2009

Just bought an original Ibanez Tube King distortion pedal off eBay. This is the old one, not the current orange-colored reissue. Arrived with the tube shattered, and without documentation. Anybody know what the correct replacement tube type is? The socket is a 9-pin 12au7/12ax7 type, but, don't want to make assumptions.

Thanks!

i have this pedal - must be about 12 years old - still looks brand new and is simply the best distortion pedal for me - sounds so a live and works great with my AC30

just noticed the new one now and the comparison on youtube
old one sounds better and more defined to my ears
