Venus is a real tube overdrive that brings the magic of a legendary tube-driven circuit into a modern, compact format. Inspired by the most iconic tube overdrive pedal in history, Venus delivers everything from smooth, bluesy breakup to fully saturated distortion.

Equipped with a high-quality ECC832 tube, Venus offers exceptional dynamic response and tonal flexibility. The three-band EQ provides precise frequency control, while the tube bias knob allows users to shape the compression and saturation of the overdrive. Whether used as a transparent boost or a full-bodied drive, Venus delivers the warmth and harmonic complexity only a real tube circuit can provide.

A switchable line driver/buffer ensures a strong, clear signal throughout the chain, making Venus a reliable choice for both live performances and studio applications. The power-up preset function for the footswitch lets users set their preferred bypass/engage state when powering on the pedal.

Designed for players who crave the richness of a tube-driven circuit without the bulk, Venus is the perfect companion for any setup—from vintage amps to modern pedalboards.

Need to know for Retailers
  • RealTube Overdrive inspired by all pedal and rack versions of the legendary “BKButler Tube Driver”.
  • Typically,“real tube” pedals involve compromises in both size (they’re usually large) and power (they often require an external supply)—but not with the Venus! Use itjust like any other standard pedal in your rig.
  • Small enclosure – less than half the size of the original pedal units and other “realtube overdrive” models on the market.
  • Powered by a standard 9V DC power supply (instead of an internal transformer, as in theoriginal) to minimise noise/hum.
  • Tube bias knob for using different tube types and/or shaping the overdrive/distortion texture.
