Exactly. His tone is amazing. I always say that about this pedal. I’ve been using it for a long time. I have a lot of expensive overdrives too because I like to collect and try different things but this pedal with a good amount of gain stacked or into an already overdriven dirty amp can get you some serious tones. I find it really stacks well with a TS, Jan Ray, Steel String or any Dumble style pedal. I was really surprised at how good it was. If you play a high gain amp and use those to tighten it up or add harmonics to your sounds, you’ll be a schooled at what this pedal can do.

Your fav Guitar plugged directly into your fav amp. Sounds great but needs "something." Add a pedal to thicken the tone. Another to add treble. Get a eq to mold your tone, a buffer, some reverb and a little delay. Pick any of the 100s of overdrives including clean boost. 30 years later you are back to plugging directly into your amp again. Perfect.

I prefer this pedal over a lot of boutique overdrives people swear are the best. I’ve A/B’d this pedal with the Jan Ray, Duellist, King of Tone, Blues Power, Tube Screamers, Morning Glory, Strymon Riverside, EQD Palisades and bunch of others and this one is my favorite every time. It’s like the best sounding TS-9 ever but it’s warmer and does low gain and high gain so well. It also doesn’t get out of control and adds a ton to your high gain amp sound. Kingfish uses it and listen to this overdrive tone through a Peavey combo. Doesn’t get much better when he plays.

The Timmy has more flexibility, but was more fizzy in the crunch. The Tumnus didn't sound as good me on rhythm, but sounded simply fabulous on lead. Would love to have both the Tumnus and the Sugar Drive running into each other.

It's because they are using new surface mount components like resistors, capacitors, diodes, etc. that are tiny and do not need to be soldered. Mini pedals are attractive to players because they take less space on the pedalboard, and have the same or nearly the same functions and tone.

I ordered an MXR Sugar Drive and tried it through a PRRI, it didn't produce any gain; my Fender Amp didn't have its own bendable gain dial. Later I got a Vox AC 10. Through the Vox I would be able use the gain dial from the control panel built onto the amp to blend into the gain inside the MXR Sugar Drive. I may try the Sugar Drive again. Relegated to the Fender clean channel amp situation, I immediately returned the MXR Sugar Drive at that time and bought a Wampler mini Tumnus. The gain using the Tumnus was audible through the clean channel Fender Amp. If anyone has a clean channel amp, The Wampler Tumnus would be the mini Klon pedal to get, unless you're okay with the feedback/hum when engaging the footswitch on a cheap pedal like a Mosky, Caline or the budget Amazon klones

To retort to the "Not another Klone dudes" Its simply not just a copy. IMO its an improvement on the original. Buffer/True Byspass switch, smaller enclosure, and yeah nuetral EQ more transparent and organic vs the focused lower upper mid Klones like the Archer, Tumnus that are practically straight up tone copies of the originals. Never mind the Soul Food that just sounds too compressed and muddy, nothing like a Klon. Sugar Drive= Klon 2.0. More Transparent/Organic Neutral EQ Tummnus/Archer=Klone 1.0 Original focused lower upper mids My full review for those interested. www.strat-talk.com/threads/new-pedal-day-new-mxr-content-check-it.472515/

I think the OCD has more crunch but this one definitely has more mids and punches through when doing a solo and also I noticed with both of the tone knob turned up that this sugar Drive makes the OCD sound muffled a lot but I always hear very great things about the OCD and that's why I got it but after playing on the sugar Drive I think that I like this one better but then to each there own. This also sounds great with my mini ts9 pedal

1. Andy rules 2. This looks like an interesting take on the K-circuit. Does anybody else know if the charge pump increase controlled with the drive knob is in other dirt pedals? I love the clean boost of a K circuit but find the gainer sounds to be too compressed and muddy - this looks like a great way to open it up when the gain is up.
@DougMen1
6 жыл бұрын
The charge pump isn't affected by the drive control. It just boosts the power rails from 9v to 18v for more headroom, as in all Klon type circuits. The thing Andy is talking about, which is also common to all Klon type circuits, is the dual gang gain pot, so when you turn up the gain, you're also turning up the level of clean mixed in with the gain, so the ratio of clean to grit remains the same no matter where the drive control is set.
