Used ProAnalog Devices Dual Drive V1 in very good/excellent condition. This is an amazing sounding dual overdrive that is hard to find. This one was made on 5/31/06, serial number 136.
From ProAnalog Devices:
The ProAnalog Dual Drive features a smoking dual op-amp circuit that no one has ever heard before. It has more clean headroom, overdrive, transparency, richness, versatility and flexibility than most 2 or 3 pedals put together that are available on the market today.
Designed to keep the fidelity of your guitar and amp signal, for practical gig and recording levels as well as not to be guitar, amp or pedal fussy.
Plug in a strat to an AC30, and sounds like it should. It doesn't cloud or murk up your signal, add unwanted compression, muddy lows or shave off high end or get in the way of your amps compression.
No graininess or mid hump like in other overdrives on the market. It uses 2 Mullard germanium PNP transistors in both channels, Scotty's forte'!
The pedal also features a pull pot on the "bite" control to kick in the Mullard transistors for a fat boost (Pull Phat) that turns this pedal into a very touch responsive beast (something the others out there do not do)! Drive Channel is big, bold, beautiful harmonics, swirling feedback, even EQ definition from low to high, singing top end, warm and woman like midrange, phat and tight bottom to OVER the top gain, are just some of the words to describe the overdrive channel.
I'm pretty much speechless in describing it... ;-) Clean channel is sweet, articulate, touch responsive, transparent and very tube amp like.
The players guitar volume knob, when used, interacts extremely well with this pedal into your amp.
Cleans up great, doesn't lose signal or high end and has a range of tones that's not common to most, experienced in using overdrive pedals live or in the studio.
Pedal can be operated on 9VDC, 12VDC or 18VDC adapters! When this overdrive is running on higher voltages, the frequency spectrum, touch sensitivity and harmonics are retained, but the pedal becomes, thicker, richer, fuller and meatier as you increase the voltage.
No signal loss or uneven sharpness in EQ peaks, brittle highs or muddy lows. The tone and EQ range are retained, but you get a thicker, bolder Dual Drive with a touch more headroom.
Past experiences for players is that most IC based overdrives/distortion/fuzz pedals have the "IC" sound.
Well throw all of that out the window cuz now there is a new legendary clean boost/overdrive about to render most others obsolete! Controls are level , drive , bark (mid) and bite (treble, pull phat ), 2 channels, 2 footswitches for true bypass, clean and overdrive.
One blue LED for the bypass and a green/red for the clean channel and overdrive channels. Aluminum enclosure, silver capped Marshall knobs, wear resistant, laser etched, metal faceplate, DC power supply or battery operated and a whole lotta tone.
