A complete drive section in one pedal

This is a complete drive section in one pedal. It really does do it all and being able to use the three different circuits on their own or together offers endless variations. Sounds awesome, looks awesome, and only takes one power slot from your pedalboard (albeit a bit of real estate). Also stacks well with other drive and fuzz pedals.
