Over the past few years, our team has analyzed more than a hundred schematics inspired by the "808" pedal. Thanks to this knowledge database, we have now created a new pedal, called the FX Driver [also known as the EGO DRIVER in Europe. It is the same pedal, but with a different name for the US market]. It is able to reproduce all these vintage sounds, and go further by creating new ones!
To achieve this it is quite simple, we focus on the saturation stage and unveil all the keys of its design.
Even more possibilities.
The FX Teacher project allows you to go even further in your tone quest.
Indeed, you always have the easy-to-access front panel settings, they allow you to quickly adjust your pedal. On the inside, you know our trimpots well, and we’re definitely fans of them at Anasounds. These are very fine small adjustments that offer a sound precision worthy of the creator.
But this time, on top of all that, we added terminal blocks! They allow components to be easily added and removed with a simple screwdriver. So if you want to change the clipping diode or filter capacitor, then you can!
It's like you ended up creating your own pedal!
Potentiometers.
OUT, the output level
GAIN, the OD saturation level
TONE, the filter 808 style
Toggle switches.
VOICING, in the middle the original tone,
at the bottom, the capacitor you chose on the terminal block,
at the top, more present high mids.
CLIPPING, on top the original 1N914 diodes,
at the bottom are the diodes screwed to your terminal block,
in the middle, no diodes for a clean boost.
