Richard Aspen Pittman is known to most guitarists as a tireless inventor, thinker and creative mind. Already at the age of 11 he played in local bands. At 18 he took a job at the newly opened Guitar Center in Hollywood. Through that job he made contacts with the top musicians of the time and was able to help during recording sessions and on tours to find the ultimate sound.
In 1979 he finally set himself up as an independent consultant with his own company, advising many musical-instrument manufacturers and numerous bands. In the same year he tried to optimise the way tube amps worked. He invented a special testing system for tubes and then sorted the selected tubes into different classes: tube matching was invented.
He then founded the company Groove Tubes. To this day there is still the misconception that Groove Tubes manufactured the tubes themselves. This is not the case: Aspen bought tubes from around the world, inspected and measured them, and then sold them in matched sets, resulting in a perfectly matched pair or quartet. Furthermore, by dividing them into different classes, the amplifier's sound could be influenced to suit personal preferences.
We at session always have a selection of the most important preamp and power tubes from Groove Tubes in our range for you. If you don't know exactly which tube you need, we're happy to advise and help you.
