Want a tiny pedal that can take you from Country rock to Metal and everything in between? Get the Hustle Drive!

The Hustle Drive should not be priced as cheaply as it is. Out of every Mooer micro-series pedal, few offer such dynamic range as the Hustle Drive. I use it for church music all the way through to Metallica. This pedal is the definition of dynamite comes in small packages.

It has two settings: LP and HP (I assume it's Low Power and High Power, respectively). These two settings change the tone significantly from a warm drive (LP) to a powerfully bright distortion (HP).

EVERY guitarist should get this pedal, rich OR poor.

Meh overdrive pedal

Its a good overdrive pedal but nothing more. The distortionis muddy and darker than the ocd. I used it more like a Booster/overdrive.

Best OCD copy at a cheaper price.

Don't let the size of this pedal fool you. It is as close as you can get to an OCD at a much cheaper price, though of course, if you have the money, you should still go for the OCD since it's has a wider range of sound.
