Outside The Inside

My G-Drive lets me set my amps mildly dirty and get two levels of added gain and sustain from its two channels. It still sounds exactly like whatever amp I’m running into, just fatter and louder. It’s like adding two extra channels to your amp. I have hundreds of hours of gig time on it and play it out every weekend. It does exactly what it is designed to do and is the quietest overdive/boost pedal I have ever used. It’s an indispensible part of my rig and I never have to think about it.
