Here's a new one from MXR, the Sugar Drive. Yes, it's in a smaller footprint type, I do not wish to call it a mini pedal because there are others out there smaller than this.
I'm not aware there's an acclaimed 90s drive circuit pedal being used by the manufacturer in their pedals but it's here, in this one. Also, the drive control blends your clean signals with the processed ones so it's not just a typical drive type of pedal out there. If you've come across Voodoo Lab's Sparkle Drive, you'd understand the concept here. Anyway, let's just ask ourselves how much our ears can discern a standard drive response & a 'blended' version without knowing it's one to begin with.
The wonderful thing, I believe, is the pedal's 'underdrive' capacity from the clips I've come across. It's not that over zealous drive that you activate for obnoxious solos- no. It's something for those of us who wish for subtle clippings. OK, MXR let's you choose between true or buffered bypass with this one. On my list 😁
