EDDIE BOOSTDRIVE – SESSION EDITION builds on the success of the original Eddie pedal. We’ve optimized the circuit to run on nine volts for added compression and refined the taper of the boost control. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, this pedal will elevate your tone to new heights. If you need to save pedalboard space and don’t need the boost feature, consider the new Lil’ Ed Session Drive, which offers the same overdrive circuit in a mini format at an affordable price.

This pedal contains two separate effects: a one-knob MOSFET booster and a soft-clipped drive pedal with a 3-band EQ. It also features a mode switch that allows you to select between silicone diode clipping for a traditional compressed overdrive and LED clipping for a more open, amp-like tone. The EQ alone lets the drive emulate many sounds reminiscent of other popular overdrive pedals. The booster is a transparent boost that works great on its own. Since it’s placed before the drive in the chain, using it simultaneously with the drive can push the drive into moderately heavy distortion territory. The foot switches are illuminated to indicate when your effects are active. Additionally, the drive switch changes color according to the selected mode. The pedal is true bypass, using a pair of optocouplers to isolate the LED lights, reducing switch popping.
