Germanium Overdrive with Plenty of Bite
Packed with two germanium diodes and a single germanium transistor, the EarthQuaker Devices Crimson Drive overdrive pedal allows you to be extremely expressive with your guitar. It's an open-sounding overdrive with lots of harmonics and a raw, cutting sound. Lower drive settings have a nice bite, while the highest settings sound nicely distorted without losing note definition. Guitarists at Sweetwater feel that a good overdrive pedal should clean up when you roll back your volume, and the Crimson Drive doesn't disappoint. Whether you play with humbuckers or single-coil pickups, we think you'll be impressed with the EarthQuaker Devices Crimson Drive.
