Tech 21 Double Drive

Post by Doog »

Ok, so it's just an overdrive-distortion pedal, but I think I might even like it better than the RAT- in comparison, the RAT sounds SOOOOOOO upper middy, it's almost unpleasant. It's always hard to tell outside of a band context how it'll work live, but the DD can get pretty close to the RAT.. but it's a lot more flexible.

Cheerz!

Yeah, it's well flexible. Drive A is more bassy and slightly mid-scooped, Drive A/B is a bit more mid-focused, and by blending them in conjuction with the tone dial, you can let loadsa tones!

I think my RAT just got booted off the pedalboard :D

Haha this makes me happy for some weird reason. It's nice to lose some pedals after you have used them for such a long time. The superfuzz has knocked the fuzz factory off mine...and it may be forever!! :shock: I'm going to get another superfuzz so I can use the gain boost setting as my dirt box and not have to keep switching when I want fuzz.

It's really, really nice, flexible as hell while still being totally usable.

My only complaint is that it's pretty light so gets moved around a bit too easy, and that the dials don't do a ton for the first half of their travel, and do LOADS in the last quarter.

But it's aaaaall good. I might rehouse it into the ever-awesome mysterious brushed chrome box..
