My favorite drive, after years of searching
I adore this pedal. I've made a twenty-five minute YouTube video just talking about how much I love this pedal.
I've been happy with my clean tone for quite a long time, but the search for a good medium-gain overdrive has been grueling. I've been through bluesbreakers (multiple), tube screamers (multiple), distortions, $30 Boss drives, rare boutique drives you have to order from the builder... none of it clicked for me. Then I found out about this guy and gave it a shot and everything changed.
It's got the thickness of a tube screamer but without subtracting all of your low and high end. It can do just a hint of grit, or all the way up to hardcore and metal distortion. It sounds good stacked into stuff; with stuff stacked into it. The EQ knobs have so spoiled me that I don't think I'll ever buy a drive that doesn't have both a bass and treble EQ now. I can't believe I got by for so long on drives with only a single "tone" knob.
No exaggeration, I've legitimately considered buying two of them, one for lower gain and one for higher, and just setting them up next to each other. I adore this drive.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
My preferred toggle position for most things is the upwards one, though the down toggle (higher gain) is great for hardcore punk. I boost the bass and treble up to, say, one or two o'clock, and the drive similarly.
