Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive Overdrive Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Get the layering capabilities of 2 amps with the ease of a compact stomp box. It offers a clean control as well as a saturated overdrive control.

The Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive is an overdrive pedal featuring a unique 'clean' control. It's overdrive circuit provides the same tone as a vintage '808. Then the clean control blends back in a boosted direct signal. This restores the attack and feel which is lost in a highly compressed overdrive circuit.

The Sparkle Drive utilizes the same concept as layering 2 amps, 1 clean and the other saturated. Of course with the clean control turned down, you get a classic overdrive tone. All the way up, it provides a super transparent, 100% clean boost.

And just like every Voodoo Lab pedal effect, the Sparkle Drive features true bypass switching, a heavy-duty metal switch and on/off status LED. It's hand-built from the finest components available and is backed by a 5-year warranty.

If your looking for a great drive, this is it. In my opinion worth a lot more than a lot of other pedals I've tried including the Ibanez, Radial and the other "boutique" pedals.
Sound
It does what I want it to do.....OVERDRIVE not overgain. Has great tone, especially hooked up with a compressor. I can get a nice saturated tube sound or a growling overdrive.
Features
Very easy to use. It's very easy to fine tune the sound to the venue I'm doing or the different styles I may be doing that night. I love being able to mix the drive with a clean, (awesome feature) I also love the fact that it's a TRUE bypass. Very, very important to me!

Worth every penny.

I think that what you hear on their soundbites is what you get. Haven't had to deal with them directly.
