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.
Technical Specs:
- Soft Click Buffered Bypass
- 9v DC, 2.1mm center negative power. Does not accept batteries.
- Power Consumption: 28mA

This pedal accepts 9VDC CENTER NEGATIVE power supplies ONLY.
Using the wrong power supply (i.e. higher than 9v, AC instead of DC, reverse polarity) will result in damage to the pedal.
POWER SUPPLY IS NOT INCLUDED.
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.
Overall, this drive's character is incredible. Both sides are voiced so the drive tone never gets too bright, harsh, or fizzy. The two sides pair well and the range of potential combinations is vast. This may just be a desert island pedal!
This thing is sweet. I thought I was just getting a 2-for-1 drive pedal but the responsiveness of the klon-like circuit is able to make your cleans glimmer or give you a heavy presence with a sharper strike. I hate how versatile this pedal is because I don't like to change my settings once it's on my board but I can't pick a favorite configuration.
This pedal is one of the most if not the most natural amp-like sounding pedal I’ve ever bought. The balance between the two “channels” is dialed in perfectly.
It sounds excellent through my el-84, 6v6 and 6l6 amps with my humbucker or single coil equipped guitars. Cheers!
