OVERDRIVE- 3RD POWER Love Drive ....hype or magic ???

3RD POWER LOVE DRIVE 

$280.00 USD

The company is 'Dylana Nova Scott who comes from Nashville from a
musical family that had a recording career by 16 playing in several early Metal and Glam Metal bands. She was 

a gear freak from day one which eventually lead to everything from early analog wireless to eventually making her own amps. The most notable is the 3RD POWER Kitchen Sink 6VEL which can switch between early Fender amps and a Vox AC30. 

The Love Drive is the second of 2 pedals. 

The layout is volume, gain, bass mids and treble. The rhetoric goes on and on about the EQ. I am sure something is a bit different but if so it can't be rocket science. All pedals have a fixed voice where especially the mids will tend to have a bit of pop or cut at one frequency that tends to identify the sound. Some pedals will use a bandpass filters 

tied into the mids that give you a pedal some notable identity.

CONCLUSION

In spite of all above blah,blah I do not hear anything special with the sound. 

It has American vibe to the sound that tends to be a bit on the 'vanilla' side. 

That said I am very much a MIAB guy so I expect a lot of balz. The harmonics 

are very good and I do not hear any smearing. In short it is definitely 

'mud' free with a very full sound. If the sound is your thing.

I don't think you would be disappointed.

the fine print

My kind of pedal, 

All the above but with some serious balz!

The reviewer has a small 'go to' board he

uses for serious gigs. It's his 'fly rig'

guess which pedal is on it ???   😊
