 INTENSIVE CARE AUDIO DEATH DRIVE 

$215.00 USD

Another new kid on the block with a Metal pedal.  The layout is a standard volume, gain and tone with a fourth pre gain control which is upmarket speak for a boost. So? ...what does it sound like. Well it is voiced for modern Metal. The lows are gone and it basically all mids. Even the lower mids are tamed. It saturates fairly heavily especially at higher gains. The sustain is modest.

To be fair it is meant for chugging at 200 bpm plus. In other words it could never be called a fat sound. A true fat sound would turn to mush

at such tempos. It has some growl. It is virtually fizz free. No bees allowed!

CONCLUSION

I play a Prog Metal and only play a couple tunes

needing anything like this sound. Even so I need a

low pass filter to tighten up the lows. If you have

a LPF you can have a fat sounding pedal and cut 

back only as necessary but on slower tempos you have

lots of beef. Still that means one of a few specialty

designed high gain Tube Screamer with a LPF built

designed to be stacked on a second OD or Fuzz .

Alternatively a pricey all in one metal pedal.

Sorry but this is the only video. The guy is not a Metal player in fact he is a King of Tone afficinato so it is not going to be heard at it's best.
