GREAT EASTERN EFFECTS DESIGN-A-DRIVE

You may not be familiar with Great Eastern Effects just yet, given that the UK pedal brand only launched last year. But with its second release (following its Champ-in-a-box Small Speaker Overdrive), GEE is turning its attention to our overdrive/amp compatibility. The Design-a-drive has gain and output controls, but the tone section is where the detail lies. Thanks to its Edge (high frequency) and six-position Width (midrange) controls, it’s possible to tailor your overdrive sound to create the perfect interaction between your pickups, pedal and amp – no more leaving the combinations to chance. The Design-a-drive is available now, priced at £229. See www.greateasternfx.com for more info.
