With this many great minds on a product, you know it's going to be awesome. Mythos Pedals & Novo Guitars Air Lane Drive Dual Overdrive - Really Red A Special Collaboration With Novo Guitars A simple to use but absolutely killer dual overdrive pedal that has two distinct voices that you have to hear.. one voiced by Novo and one by Mythos. Each side can be used individually or combined. With this many great minds on a product, you know it's going to be awesome.

The two sides of the pedal are called Suite 8 and Suite 9. For those who love simplicity, each side has a gain control and... nothing else! Inside the pedal there is a master volume trimmer for each side, should you want to fiddle with balancing the drives differently.

Both are the same circuit, based around a single transistor topology and featuring hard-clipping diode arrangements that just stack fantastically. There are loads of ways to use the pedal - have it set for two different levels of boost, two different drives or a combo of both.

The side voiced by Novo is a medium level overdrive with a full low-end and sparkling trebles. It's really lovely. Asymmetrical clipping was chosen to keep things smooth and with amp-like compression. The Mythos side is higher on the aggression-scale, with a trimmed off bass end, symmetrical clipping and a NOS Germanium diode for extra hair and bite. It sounds really ripping when you bring the drive up. As always with Mythos Pedals (and indeed Novo Guitars), all the components, jacks and pots are high-quality and designed to not let you down. This brilliant pedal is available for the first time outside of the USA and features an exclusive new colour, fittingly called Really Red. No prizes for guessing why! In 2021 Mythos Pedals began sharing a space with Novo Guitars in Nashville, TN. For the uninitiated Novo Guitars are the brain child of Dennis Fano and are some of the best guitar being produced today. When Dennis and Matthew Timmons began talking to us about their desire to make a pedal named after the street we’re on, I got to work crafting something that would live up to the Novo reputation. The Air Lane Drive is stripped down dual overdrive, it’s two independent sides, SUITE 8 and SUITE 9, are the same circuit that have been tweaked for our individual tastes. The MORE! and EVEN MORE! knobs only control the gain of each side of the pedal, but internally there is a set and forget master volume trimmer for each side. The gain circuit(s) in the Air Lane Drive are based around a single transistor topology. Each side features hard clipping diode arrangements that stack beautifully, yet never get in the way of your playing. Each side is independent and can be used alone or together with SUITE 9 feeding into SUITE 8. We opted for this configuration so that the signal would always feel balanced and natural. There is no shortage of tones to be had from the Air Lane Drive, you can get a double booster, use one side as a drive with the other as a boost, vice versa, or just crank the gain on both sides and pummel all who oppose you.

SUITE 8, the Novo side, is a medium gain boost/drive with nice full bass and a present top end. SUITE 8 features Asymmetrical clipping for a nice smooth feel that has an amp liken compression. SUITE 9, the Mythos side, features a slightly more aggressive feel, a slight bass cut, and smoother top end overall. SUITE 9 has a Symmetrical clipping arrangement with a NOS Germanium diode that makes the edge of the note and attack a little more hairy. Lastly, you may be asking yourself why the tower and airplane on the artwork? Well, our parking lot has as huge tower in it and we’re near the airport so planes are constantly overhead! A neat little nod to where we build guitars and pedals! Every batch of the Air Lane Drive will feature a different color way. Batch #1 will be a lovely sky blue and is limited to 200 pieces.
