Simble Predr iver
Ah yes, the Simble Predriver. The first no-
knob pedal I ever encountered, I wasn’t
quite sure what to make of it. That is, until,
I plugged in, and realized all of the sizzling
glory it could add to any setup. While
there is no knob present, there is a
Cool/Hot switch. In the Cool position, the
switch adds around six decibels of gain, and
10 in the Hot position. But the Simble does
more than just boost your level—it adds
beautiful harmonics and presence to your
overall tone. Think of it as the glaze on a
cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is already
good, but when you drizzle the sauce over
a hot roll, you reach the peak of succulent
sweetness. If you already love your rig,
and you add the Simble to it, you will be
pleasantly surprised at the “next-level”
results you get when you incorporate it into
your setup. In my experience, the Simble is
at its best when it is always on, and you can
vary your tones using the Cool/Hot switch
and your guitar’s volume control.
