Mangle your guitar tone with 8 different drive circuits on the Analog Drive from Elektron. A powerful EQ section sculpts your sound with surgical precision.

Analog Drive gives you eight analog distortion types in one box. It is the ideal pedal for guitarists who want to wreak havoc to signals and tones in the most diverse and characterful way possible.

Total Analog Distortion Box

The sheer sonic range of the Analog Drive, courtesy of the eight different analog distortion circuits, is in itself a marvel. One stompbox harboring so many tone shaping opportunities: unheard of until now. Analog Drive is a bottomless well of new sounds.

The EQ Touch

Enhance your amp with the 3 band analog EQ. The mid band is sweepable, which is very handy for dialing in the perfect EQ setting. The mid EQ can also be controlled with an expression pedal, making it easy to create analog wah-like sounds.

For the Live Rig

The possibility to store user presets will make the live gig flow smoothly. And if you rely on MIDI during your performances, the Analog Drive delivers. All settings are fully controllable via MIDI and it can even send MIDI program change messages.

Features:

- Clean Boost - A boost ranging from 0 to 20 dB, run at a high internal voltage, thus giving plenty of headroom.
- Mid Drive - Can be compared to the sound a well-known green stompbox. If more bass is needed, just increase the Low EQ setting.
- Dirty Drive - Really dirty and swampy. A gate-ish feel can be obtained at low Gain settings. Higher Gain settings result in an old school fuzzy sound.
- Big Dist - Adds quite a lot of distortion, but with an intact bass… read more response. A reference would be a Marshall stack pushed to the max with a lot of power amp distortion.
- Focused Dist - Strong focus on the upper mids. An extended version of the mythological horse/man pedal, but with more flexibility.
- Harmonic Fuzz - Octave fuzz with a smooth feel. Based on a fuzz that is out of production. (Which one is a well-kept secret.)
- High Gain - Clear sound with a lot of gain. Nice string separation, great sustain.
- Thick Gain - Adds loads of gain, more than a lot of preamps. Really crispy when palm muting the lower strings and using the EQ to add some top end. read less

"Outstanding Pedal"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Eight analogue drive circuits, intuitive and responsive controls, rock-solid construction, full MIDI control, and two expression pedal jacks to control mids and drive level. And most importantly, all the circuits sound beautiful, warm and musical. I played mine thru a Fender Twin and an Orange Rocker 32 on the clean channel - and it just shined. Even the clean boost was inspirational and afforded all sorts of possibilities for driving the Twin just into clipping. All the dirt pedals you've ever loved through the years live inside this ruggedly-built unit, and they're all deeply tweakable and recallable. And they're real analog circuits. If you consider the ramifications of the above, the pedal is worth more than what it sells for. I will have no qualms about letting go of the 5 other drive pedals I had on my board, because this one will do absolutely everything I'll ever need. Hence my across-the-board 5-star rating. Likely destined to become legendary.
