Ultimate Drive : Great budget pedal

5 years ago

Bought this pedal to tighten up my sound a little bit, and it does the job pretty well.

A great pedal for a very friendly price. Just as expected: nothing fancy, basic overdrive.

I use it mainly with the gain way down, almost zero, the tone around noon, and the level almost all the way up. Sounds great with the high-low switch in either position. If I raise the gain to about 8 o'clock it gets pretty noisy, but I expected it with single coil pickups. No problem with humbuckers, tho.

Sturdy construction, not likely to break any time soon. I use it with a battery, and it seems to last pretty long. One month, and still running on the first one I put in.

I highly recommend it, and not only because of the price.
