Dual Drive
Dual Drive
What would you do if you had a million dollars?
I'll tell you what I would do.
Two overdrives at the same time.
The LEFT SIDE borrows roots from the classic "breaker" style circuit, and promptly branches out with some sweet new features. A unique transparency toggle gives you extended control over chord clarity and picking dynamics, while a high-headroom output stage gives you enough clean gain to push your amp's input over the proverbial edge.
The RIGHT SIDE is a high powered, hard clipping machine based on a very expensive pedal that dons a man-horse hybrid with a pension for archery. Unlike it's role model, this side of the Dual Drive feeds a carefully tuned two-band EQ section that's primed and ready to achieve optimal tonal balance in all scenarios.
Use the ORDER TOGGLE to flip-flop the two circuits to your liking. Make no mistake - Many, many righteous tones await your discovery when you toggle the order.
Left Side Controls:
DRIVE - Dial it up for more overdrive.
TONE - Removes excess treble.
LEVEL - Controls the output volume of the left side overdrive.
TOGGLE - Choose between two unique transparency modes.
Right Side Controls:
HIGH - Applies a shelf boost or cut to treble frequencies.
LOW - Applies a shelf boost or cut to bass frequencies.
LEVEL - Controls the output volume of the right side overdrive.
GAIN - Turning up the gain simultaneously removes clean signal and introduces a hard clipped overdrive.

Awesome pedal. Great options with intuitive controls and super versatile especially when stacking with other pedals.
Both sides sound amazing and my only problem is deciding how I want to use it. It's a Swiss army knife of drive pedals and I'm still experimenting with different guitars and amps. I have several boards, that are intended for different gigs and I may move the Dual Drive to a different board than where I have it now. The subtle drive this pedal is capable is really why I bought it. I don't need high gain, I have amps for that. What high gain amps don't do well is subtle drive tones and this pedal covers that area for me extremely well. Playing covers in casinos, I have to cover all bases so I'm happy that my guitar tones can morph into anything.
Saw Josh Scott (JHS pedals) fawning over this pedal and said I had to have it. I was looking to free up space on my board. Replaced 2 current pedals with the Tallon. This pedal is awesome. The left side(think Klon clone) is so dynamic and responsive and the right side (think blues breaker) is exactly that. A match made in pedal heaven. The pedal also allows for switching which is first in the chain. There is also a transparency switch for those who like their guitar tone to stand out more. Also works great with stacking with other drives. This pedal has really opened up many more possibilities with my sound and did I mention Josh from JHS Pedals loves it?? Get yours today
This pedal really fits the bill for anyone looking for a balanced drive and distortion ration with great control between them. I love the toggle switches that let you go between them, which gives me a single stomp for various parts of songs that need heavy/less-heavy parts without modifying the overall tone. The quality of the sound is very high--super impressed. I kind-of went out on a limb buying this when I was less familiar with the brand, but it blows my Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal out of the water. It sits right between the Boss and a FatRat, in my opinion (darker and meatier than the Boss, but less aggressive and noisy than the FatRat). I"m glad I made this purchase.
I love this thing. I don’t have a ton of space on my board, so maximizing what pedals can do is crucial. The dual drive is the best klon I’ve played, and the best blues breaker. So putting them together is even better. And I can switch the order?!?
Seriously, do yourself a favor and buy it.
