Product Description

The potent Little Tweedy Drive pedal from Mad Professor emulates the sound of an old-school, traditional Fender-style amplifier from the late 50s. If you love that sound but don't want to carry around a genuine heavy Tweed combo, this pedal can attain that distinctive tone without any of the hassle!

Conventional Drive and Volume controls let you adjust the amount of gain and the overall output respectively. With the Drive knob turned up, you can get that amazing feel of a cranked Tweed amplifier, with all of the dynamics, harmonics and headroom you'd expect from the real thing. Bass and Treble controls allow you to tweak your tone just the way you want it, giving you more versatility than you might think.

This stompbox works well into the clean channel of an amp, but also sounds great in conjunction with an overdriven amplifier or other drive pedals for a richer 'stacked' sound.

Here's what Mad Professor say about the Little Tweedy Drive: 

The Little Tweedy Drive is voiced after the famous small Tweed amp tone, like the tone on Tweed Deluxe. The Little Tweedy Drive provides a vintage tone that is used on many recordings: big, fat & punchy midrange with a sweet growl reminiscent of the late 50´s amplifiers. The Little Tweedy Drive has a tone that almost purrs!

With the Little Tweedy Drive, you don´t just have the Tweed tone, but also the hard to get dynamics and touch sensitivity that are the qualities that have made the Tweed amps classic and raved about among the players.

This unique pedal it is the most amp-like feeling pedal you have ever experienced.

Adjusting the amount of gain by picking attack or guitar volume and using the tone controls on your instrument, makes the Little Tweedy Drive pedal fit into a surprisingly broad range of genres: from jazz & blues to country and rock´n´roll!

Another great feature is that its gain stacks very well too. You can get more saturated and higher gain tones by placing a booster or another overdrive pedal in front of the Little Tweedy Drive.

The Little Tweedy Drive works equally well in front of a clean amp or an already distorted amp.

Thanks to the nicely balanced internal compression, the Little Tweedy Drive cleans up very well from the guitar´s volume control. Also, just like on the vintage Tweed amp, the output volume will not drop too much.
