bit of hair , with all of the aforementioned tonal enhancements . The middle setting on the Clipping toggle switch is extremely loud and great for clean boost duty . There are lots of sounds available in the Iron Drive , and I found I got the most out of it when I set it for a base tone that I liked , then increased or decreased the Gain and Low Cut characteristics to mesh with different pedals and pickups .
The Iron Drive hits two major buttons for me : it ’ s extremely versatile , and it ’ s also very easy to use . There ’ s nothing I like less than fiddling with knobs and switches , and the Iron Drive works like a charm in setand-forget mode . This is a pedal you can leave on all the time — the tonal benefits are well worth it .
Whether you ’ re looking for character-filled clean boost , greasy drive , or allout saturation , the Iron Drive will cover those tones and everything in between . It ’ s built to last , sounds great , and offers a wide selection of dirt sounds without looking like the control panel of a rocket ship . If you ’ re looking for the missing link in your dirt pedal lineup , this could be it . Or , if you ’ re just looking for a great standalone overdrive pedal , this will excel in that role too .
In my experience , when you play through a great pedal , you can say a lot , and you can also say very little . The Iron Drive just works — it will seamlessly integrate into any guitar and amplifier rig , and it ’ s right at home on a crowded pedalboard or as the lone box between your guitar and amp .
Versatile drive and boost tones . Excellent build quality . Easy to use .
