Prehistoric drive (if there's such a thing)

I think I'm beginning to be a sucker for drive pedals with on-board extras. OK, the extra is usually a mere boost function because it saturates the drive, not necessarily intensifying the proceedings. The pedal you see here is the Oddfellow Caveman Drive. The name doesn't imply a backward approach to overdrive, it's just a label. What's offered is a good dose of drive which isn't quite in line with any BOSS voicings out there, more girth to the tone dare I say. Once the boost is activated, you can opt for a pre or post arrangement at the flick of a switch. Together with simple controls, the CD is my kind of drive- as smooth as it could be (to deliver great fusion tones) & as coarse as it could possible get for some hard rockin' tones. If only those knobs would light up. Hmm...
