Available at Kitarshokak: this Ibanez PUE5 Tube is a unique effects pedalboard made in Japan in the late 1980s / early 1990s, bringing together different effects pedal circuits in a single unit, including Tube Screamer, Tube Drive, chorus and digital delay.

The PUE5 Tube features a 12AX7 tube in its Tube Drive circuit, integrating a range of tools for creating guitar sounds into a single pedalboard, from overdrive and distortion to modulation and time-based effects.

A particularly interesting option for those looking for vintage guitar sounds, highly regarded vintage Ibanez effects pedal circuits, and the possibility of bringing several sections together in a single unit.

The pedalboard shows marks consistent with use and age, but it was serviced in August 2026 and currently works and sounds perfectly.

Ibanez PUE5 Tube

The PUE5 Tube is a pedalboard that brings together different effects circuits in a single unit, providing access to a range of sonic tools without having to rely on a collection of individual pedals.

Its combination of Tube Screamer, Tube Drive, chorus and digital delay reflects an era when manufacturers were looking to integrate different functions into increasingly comprehensive effects systems.

The presence of a tube-based distortion circuit adds further interest to a pedalboard that already stands out for the variety of its sections.

A particularly appealing unit for anyone looking to add a vintage effects system that differs from the usual offerings to their rig, while exploring the sounds and possibilities of a specific era in the development of guitar effects.
