LUXURY DRIVE

The Luxury Drive is based on simplicity, durability and most of all tone. Without tone, what else is there? Designed to serve as a boost to drive your overdrive/distortion pedals and your amp harder. The increase in signal offers an added edge of "treble-licious" tone, with a slight bit of touch sensitive compression that won't fail in the low end.

Features : Hand Built, True Bypass, Baked Enamel Finish, Battery or External Power. Brand new in box with instructions sheet. Full one year manufacturer's warranty.

We recommend this pedal as best choice for use with all guitars fitted with single coil pickups.

Just in : another few of our custom colour signed, numbered limited edition of 20 in blue/green/yellow metallic sunburst finish.

" The Luxury Drive is one of the best boost pedals you'll hear, find, or play. It'll make any rig, regardless of quality, sound better"

Vintage Guitar Magazine - Oct. 2004


Greg Koch, Fender clinician, and Favored Nations recording artist said this of the Luxury Drive. "Its Sublime, Full On Gristle"

LUXURY DRIVE MDL-T

The Luxury Drive Mdl-T is identical to the Luxury Drive but for the addition of the trim control. This control comes in very useful when connecting the Luxury Drive into the effects loop of an amp to control the level of volume boost produced. With the trim control at it's highest setting, the Mdl-T functions exactly the same as the Luxury Drive.

Features : Hand Built, True Bypass, Baked Enamel Finish, Battery or External Power. Brand new in box with instructions sheet. Full one year manufacturer's warranty.

We recommend this pedal as best choice for a mix of both single coil and humbucker equipped guitars.

Just in : the first few of a custom colour signed limited edition of 20 in yellow/green/blue metallic sunburst.

ATOMIC FET-BOY

The Atomic Fet-Boy was designed to boost your signal and give you one more element to shape the tone of your arsenal.

Similar to the Luxury Drive at standard setting, and tips over the edge into fat drive at the flip of the switch. Now in stock in various colours. Silver, Bronze, Gold, Plum and Green. Only one or two of each. Ask if you want a choice of colour.

LUXURY TWIN-RATE TREMOLO

This is not your average tremolo. The Luxury Twin-Rate Tremolo is a true bypass, foot switching dual speed tremolo. There are two independent rate controls that the user can select. This enables both a slow and fast speed setting from one unit. Each speed control has its own individual range, with the second being capable of faster rates than the first when set to the highest settings. There is also a rate indicator LED for a visual representation of the selected rate setting. A green LED indicates when the second rate control is active. A volume control allows the user to adjust the volume of the effect. No drop in volume here like so many amp tremolos. A depth control lets the user adjust from subtle to deep tremolo effects. And, best of all, it does not alter your tone!


Features : Completely Hand Built, right down to the decal! Baked Enamel Finish. Through Hole plated hand soldered circuit board. True Bypass. Battery, or External 9VDC powered (standard center pin negative). Volume, Depth, Rate 1, and Rate 2 controls. Rate Indication. Brand new in box with instructions sheet. Full one year manufacturer's warranty.

THE DIABOLICAL GRISTLE TONE MANIPULATOR

The DGTM is not your typical overdrive. Inspired by the savage auditory pummeling of Greg Koch, and some delicious tone factions straight from Brian Wampler (Indyguitarist.com), the DGTM brings forth a distinctive overdrive that will satisfy many an overdrive connoisseur's palate. From vintage crunch to modern "tweak", it's in there.

CONTROLS :

GRISTLE - Dial in the amount of tasty saturation required.

TONE - Adjust the edges of your tone from smooth to crispy here.

GRAVY - Pour on the Gravy. Adjust the volume of your signal here.

TOGGLE : Toggle to the right for a vintage voiced crunchy helping of the sonic main course. Toggle to the left for a more compressed gain wrought onslaught.

Features : Hand Built, True Bypass, Baked Enamel Finish, Battery or External Power. Brand new in box with instructions sheet. Full one year manufacturer's warranty.

Now the latest addition to the pedal board of Mr. Steve Vai. A killer custom built overdrive that will have you ditching your Fulltones and Tube Screamers.

THE GRISTLE KING

The latest addition to the range, as developed by Tim for Greg Koch. The Gristle King is a combination of the features of the DGTM and the Luxury Drive offering a wide variety of boost and overdrive possibilities. The Gristle, Tone, Gravy and Flavour controls as per the DGTM, the More control as per the chicken head on the Luxury Drive, plus two new toggles. The Phat switch when toggled to the right gives you an increase in the low end response of the overdrive effect. The Pre/Post switch places the boost either before or after your overdrive. Use the Pre setting to boost the level of gain, use the Post setting to boost the volume of the signal. The separate footswitches allow you to use either effect, or both together each with it's own indicator light.

The Gristle King gives you both effects, plus extra tonal possibilities, in one compact unit at a substantial cost saving.

Features : Hand Built, True Bypass, Baked Enamel Finish, Battery or External Power. Brand new in box with instructions sheet. Full one year manufacturer's warranty.

MP3 SAMPLES

Here's Greg Koch's DGTM Samples : Left Toggle Right Toggle

These MP3 samples were produced with the DGTM using a Fender American Deluxe Strat, the new Bill Lawrence SC Pickups and a Fender Custom Vibrolux amp. He had the Gristle on about 3 o'clock, Tone at 2 o'clock and the Gravy at about 1 o'clock. Both snippets start out with just the amp with the Volume on about 3 and a half in the Normal Channel with the Treble on about 1 o'clock and the Bass at about 3 o'clock and then he kicks the pedal on. He did these real fast with no other outboard effects or EQ engaged and with only an SM 57 on the amp.

 

Here's our very own Eliot Fitzroy's Luxury Drive & DGTM lap steel Samples :

Money For Nothing Over The Top

These MP3 samples were produced with the same gear as above. Money For Nothing the Ricky, Pallister and Space Echo for the first part, plus Luxury Drive on minimum drive for the second part, plus the DGTM toggle left with the Gristle and the Gravy both at around 1 o'clock and the wah on but not touched in the fourth. Over The Top is the same Luxury Drive & DGTM settings plus Wah pedal with no preliminary 'dry' samples.
