The DRIVE Pedal.

Everything you need from a drive pedal is here. The best amp like pedal ever. Recomended.

Great sounding pedal !

I'm using this pedal into slightly crunchy tube amp and works great. It gives me that modded Marshall tones with big range of adjustments. In my case I turned down the internal gain pot to about 9 o'clock because with factory set to 12 it was too much for me but with a clean amp it should be okay, The build quality is also very good but for that price a would expect more robust construction ,especially for the power supply jack which is mounted to PCB and not to chassis.

high gain madness

Probably the best high gain pedal i have ever bought, with all the different tone controls, you can really hone in you're sound.

I bought this after seeing the Pete Thorn YouTube demo videos- didn't even try one live before purchasing! I already own a couple of Boogie heads, and a profusion of Wampler pedals. They are all fantastic. However, I have to say, this has more than earned its place on the board ? it can do just a bit of hair on the note through to full throttle tear your head off. However, I was sold when I dialled in a beautiful 'One of these nights' Felder type tone- on my Strat. It is built like a brick ? though be warned, it doesn't take a battery, so factor that in to your power supply. Thoroughly thoroughly recommended ? in the overpopulated world of distortion pedals, that black and gold lineage reeks class!

Pros: tone build feel

Cons: maybe useful to have the facility to power it by battery for small gigs
