So configurable and so gorgeous sounding, it' hard to imagine that no one has thought of it before.
Start with a 2-stage preamp
At its core, HOBO DRIVE is a 2-stage preamp controlled via traditional PREAMP and MASTER volume controls. But that' not all. A TONE control lets you customize your overdrive sound right from the start, shaping its timbre to your exact tastes. Don™t worry: No matter how you set it, HOBO DRIVE delivers the warm, vintage-sounding tone T-Rex is famous for.
Then add an adjustable BOOST switch
On top of the preamp core, you get a very useful boost function for soloing, single-note lines, you name it. This not only makes HOBO DRIVE a more versatile pedal, it can eliminate the need for an external boost pedal, if you normally use an overdrive sound for your lead playing.
Finally, the real sauce¦
When you kick your HOBO DRIVE into boost mode, it takes your overdrive sound up to the volume level you™ve set. But HOBO DRIVE lets you do something else: An ingenious PRE/POST switch gives you the option of boosting your signal before it hits the preamp “ to add even more drive as you raise the stakes with extra volume.
