well loved and for good reason
one of the best CMOS inverter rives. Goes from slightly hairy to tweed grunt all the way to pseudo fuzz... lower noise than most CMOS drives. Plug it into a small fender combo or an AC30 and sound like Mike Campbell all day. Run it into a TS9 or SD1 and prepare for some ripping lead tone.
