Selling an original SIB Fat Drive tube based clean boost pedal. Like all SIB pedals (and I've had an original Echo Drive and an original Vari Drive), this is a little bulky measuring about 7 by 4.5 inches and runs off of AC only. Why AC? Because the pedal runs off of interchangeable tubes and there's no 9 volt battery that's going to push these tubes. When my hearing was better (yes, it sucks to get get old) I used it to warm up the tone of solid state amps like an Evans I had and a Nashville 112 I now use. Right now it has a Russian AX7 in there but I've used other tubes in it to get softer effect. I'll throw in a collection of other tubes so you can play around with it and see what sound pleases you most (they all worked when I used them but who knows now-they've been sitting in my pac a seat; some I even bought specially selected/tested for best performance).
I don't think SIB is around anymore as SIBFX.com goes no where and I've not seen a Fat Drive for sale in a very long time. That's my basis for saying it's rare. Plus it's an original from way back. Yes, it's true by-pass and made with high quality jacks and components. It even still has the little rubber feet of the originals. You can't see it from the pictures but there's a switch on the left side to add brightness to output.
Asking $200 and I'll pay reasonable shipping.

What a coincidence!
I’m thinking of putting my SIB Echodrive up for sale. It’s the best delay I’ve ever used but it is big and bulky. That said, this tube—driven pedal sounds wonderful. |

| Yes, big and bulky but a fun tube delay pedal. At least it's smaller than a echopplex and just as rewarding, or almost. Is yours red or blue vintage ? |
