Tonephile Puredrive Tweed Transparent Overdrive Pedal  From Tonephile

Our flagship product, the Puredrive, is intended to be a high-quality, pure overdrive unit. Our tonal intentions were to create an incredibly transparent break-up that doesn't mask the most important part of a player's chain -- their fingers. On the other hand, what we didn't want to do was provide a break-up that never adds character nor ever serves the player's tone. Through a unique signal path, high-quality parts, and an ultra clean power supply, we feel like we've achieved that balance between clarity and color.

Moreover, we also felt like the largest deficiencies in many of the boutique drive units out there was a need to pay attention to user interface. Most units out there make it difficult to get the sound you want, especially since boutique overdrive pedals typically leave you hanging with tons of switches and toggles that are enigmatically named such things as "love," "jive," or "hype."

Our keyword here is "intuitive." We feel that after using our pedal for just a few minutes, dialing in the tone that you're looking for can be something quite predictable.

We have also found that other boutique pedals only sound their best in one single position - the infamous "sweet spot." At our last pedal demo (with Terry McInturff, one of the leading high-end electric guitar makers in the nation), it became very evident that our entire pedal was one gigantic sweet spot. We wanted the Puredrive to sound amazing in all gain ranges and coupled with the most unique eq circuit that we have ever seen in a pedal, we believe we've achieved a tone that sounds good in any setting with any guitar. We have high standards for the quality of our work and we're pretty confident that both our visual presentation and our sonic qualities represent those standards.
