Double Drive
The Tech 21 Double Drive is a true sonic chameleon, blending the rich, even-harmonic distortion of classic Class A power amps with the gritty, odd-harmonic crunch of Class A/B designs. By cascading these two distinct flavors of gain, the Double Drive conjures up a boundless array of searing lead tones, thunderous rhythm sounds, and everything in between. At its core, the Double Drive's two independent distortion channels allow you to dial in the perfect balance of vintage-voiced tube amp tones. The Class A section delivers that signature chime and bloom, while the Class A/B side offers a more aggressive, high-gain growl. But the real magic happens when you blend these signals, as the pedal's unique circuitry electronically multiplies the distortion for a truly massive, cascading effect. This versatility has made the Double Drive a go-to tool for discerning guitarists like Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins, who has used the pedal to craft his signature high-gain, yet articulate tones. Whether you're seeking searing leads, thunderous chords, or anything in between, the Double Drive's intuitive controls and powerful sound-shaping capabilities make it a must-have for any serious tone chaser.
