Tubesteader has captured that magical chime and sparkle of the iconic Vox AC30 Top Boost with their ROY - a dual-channel top-boost style tube preamp. This compact guitar pedal works great as a dual channel overdrive or a clean / dirty amp solution when running it into your favorite IR loader or cab simulator. Cop those jangly 60s British Invasion tones, the chime of the 80s U2 sound, or the chewy saturation of Brian May in the most compact Vox style tube preamp around.

Hear it as a tube-driven "amp solution" running into a UAFX Ox Stomp in the intro sketch, and then check out the sound samples as we flex its versatility as an overdrive pedal at the front of a pedalboard signal chain.
