## Overview

The Friedman Amplification Motor City Drive 12AX7 Tuber Powered Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal delivers authentic tube-driven overdrive with customizable tone controls, true bypass functionality, and universal power compatibility, making it an essential tool for any serious guitarist.

## Description

Many pedals strive to emulate the tone and signal path of a tube using solid-state or digital circuitry. The Friedman Motor City Drive has an actual high voltage (220 volt) driven 12AX7A preamp tube. The result is a true natural feeling pedal, unlike any solid state-signal path pedal in production. The 12AX7 naturally compresses, clips and adds more harmonically rich tone than most transistor or digital devices.

    Just like the cars built in Detroit muscle no finesse
  

*by J***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2018*

Dave I love some of your amps but your areSlipping. This had tons of drive but lifeless it was missing the Friedman sound. Not as reactive to your volume knob as the amps. And Dave I hate your new series of amps the circuit boards are not as good as your hand wired.
