CYBERDRIVE “THIS IS THE RARE PEDAL WHOSE DEMOS DON’T EXIST, BUT USE YOUR IMAGINATION. THEN IMAGINE IT’S A LITTLE COOLER THAN THAT. THIS IS THE CYBERDRIVE.” Sadly, this is the only member of the “Soundtank” series to make it onto the list; the other cool ones are already grabbing (relatively) ridiculous sums, the Echomachine and Crunchyrhythm. Anyway, there’s no way around it: the Cyberdrive resembles an MXR Distortion+ circuit with a wah circuit and LED clipping. Usually when a circuit is laid before you, the reader, in no uncertain terms, it makes the circuit sounds boring. It’s much like when someone says “X pedal is a Tube Screamer,” or “Y pedal is a Fuzz Face,” and it sounds pulse-slowingly boring. Did any of that kind of thing happen with the Cyberdrive description? Of course not, because the idea sounds awesome and makes you want to play it badly. Rest assured that if you choose that route, the way of the Cyberdrive, you will be handsomely rewarded. This is the rare pedal whose demos don’t exist, but use your imagination. Then imagine it’s a little cooler than that. This is the Cyberdrive. 20 TONE TALK // TheUnderrated, 20 Second Most Cheap, HatedAnd Effect: Discontinued The Best Flangers Pedals: Ever Part Made 2
