MIDIBLACK - midi foot controller
MIDIBLACK is the new MIDI footcontroller by ADVANCETUBETECH
which replaces the now discontinued OP128 but retains the features,
programming and the overall dimensions (mm 438 x 140 x 55).
The design of MIDIBLACK for the roundness of the chassis and
the black finish with micro beads, remember the CatDrive line pedals.
The buttons are "snap type" to give a better feel for pressure.
The display and white LED, in addition to providing a pleasant aesthetic effect,
allow better visibility in difficult conditions.
More details at the MIDIBLACK page.
DOUBLEBOOSTER - SB driver
DOUBLEBOOSTER is derived from the BoostCatDrive circuit,
uses the same high quality components and proposes
the same sound quality and great dynamics.
Several structural improvements and management
for a pedal particularly useful and easy to use live.
The manage two independent levels of volume
significantly increases the timbric possibilities.
More details at the DOUBLEBOOSTER page.
THE FOXY LADY - CLASS"AB" 60W TUBE HEAD
Foxy Lady is an all-tube head delivering a power of 60W in "AB" class.
The functional structure derives from MAGIC EYE model.
The final stage is built around a couple of selected 6L6 in push-pull configuration.
The preamp and driver function is committed to two tubes 12AX7.
The section Fx-loop works with a 12AT7.
As per MAGIC EYE model, it is endowed of the magic eye visualizator.
Among its principal characteristics:
power 60 Watt RMS in "AB" class
double channel, double master, double gain
loop serial/parallel effects
Dimensions 57 x 22 x 20
Control's pedal in endowment.
THE BLACK DOG - CLASS"AB" 40W TUBE HEAD
BLACK DOG is an all-tube head delivering a power of 40W in AB class. The functional structure derives from MAGIC EYE model. A couple of selected EL34, in push-pull configuration, provides the emission of a refined "British sound" with a great reserve of power and a great dynamics. As per MAGIC EYE model, the preamp function, fx-loop and driver, is committed to three tubes 6SL7.
Among the principal characteristics:
power 40 watt RMS - "AB" class.
double channel, double master, double gain.
Loop effect serial/parallel.
Dimensions 57 x 22 x 20
Control's pedal in endowment.
The new distortion of Cat Drive series:
VIRUS DRIVE
Through this pedal effect a “Zeppelin” atmosphere revives by virtue of a 70’s typical sound that, thanks to its thickness and harmonic density, it will be heard
in the current scene as well.
Through the combination GAIN-VOLUME, it is possible to reach very different saturation levels, but however endowed of thickness and great harmonic density.
The dynamics sensitivity at the touch is remarkable on all regulations range.
THE MAGIC EYE - CLASS"A" 10W TUBE HEAD
The new head of ADVANCETUBETECH.
The project is based on a couple of final valves 1619 NOS.
Among the principal characteristics:
power 10 watt RMS - class "A"
double channel, double master, double gain.
Loop effect serial/parallel.
Visualization through magic eye 6AF6-G.
Dimensions 57 x 22 x 20
Control's pedal in endowment.
CREAM 64 15/30W ALL TUBE AMPLIFIER
CREAM64 is an all-tube combo amplifier. The project has been developed around a quartet of power tubes 6V6GT, piloted by a pre section (3x12AX7) in a particular and original configuration. The prevalent sound is typically "blues", therefore definitely warm and surrounding.
The harmonic richness is above average and the playability of this amplifier is amazing, thanks to a light and natural compression that permits an extraordinary easy execution.
The Power is selectable
from 15 and 30 W, able to easily reach a natural saturation level,
without necessarily come to improper sounding pressures.
The speaker is a CELESTION G12H.

LS42 manages 4 pedal effects and 2 pure switches.
Absolutely clickless during commutation.
Absolute transparency: TRUEBYPASS!!!
The panel RP2 RACKMOUNT, optional, allows to mount LS42
in rack19" format also.
The new version 4.0 are also controllable through
messages of CONTROL CHANGE.
BoostCatDrive is a booster with excellent features.
Pure class A circuit, made of highly selected components,
(polypropylene / silver-mica capacitors etc).
Gain regulation from +2 to +37dB.
Absolute transparency, great dynamics,
very low output impedance and very high signal/noise ratio.
In the download page is available an interesting
brochure *. pdf (Only in Italian language):
"MIDIZZARE I PEDALI CON S720".
And' a guide with practical examples and photo on as to modify the pedals type "NOT-TRUEBYPASS"
to predispose them to the management MIDI through the new switcher S720 controlled through
a footpedal MIDI as the OP128 or another standard MIDI controller.
The modification to the pedals
is of simple realization and, above all it doesn't ask for irreversible interventions.

ROSS BOLTON & BOOSTCATDRIVE
"Recently, while I was teaching at Musicians Institute, a student from Italy approached me with a few pedals from an Italian company
called Advance Tube Technology. I liked the BoostCat Drive. I use many 'clean' boost pedals here in my studio and their pedal has a unique sound".

Audio clips: Recorded using Logic through a Blankenship Leeds 21 amplifier. Both clips start with the pedal off, then at half volume, then full volume, then off again.
