Warm Audio Warmdrive - Amp-In-a-Box Overdrive Pedal

Let me start out by saying I’m a big fan of WARM Audio pedals. Have three now and plan on getting Mutation Phasor next. Anyway we all know it’s a clone of the ZenDrive which is supposed to sound like a Dumble amp. Being a mere mortal and having never been in a room with a Dumble amp let alone played one I can’t say as to the authenticity. I can however say this is a really great warm yet still articulate overdrive. Overdrive stays pretty mild. Even cranking it won’t make this pedal sound harsh. What I really like about this pedal is usually with overdrives you can get warm or punchy and articulate but not both. This pedal does both. I love the treble both before and after the gain idea. Turning up the tone will give you a more tight high end while turning up the voice gives you a softer high end…if that makes sense. I had my doubts whether this thing could replace the Xotic BB Preamp that’s been on my board for awhile. I knew immediately when I turned it on and started playing that this pedal is a keeper.

I absolutely love this pedal - it's very versatile with it's distortion tone and I now use it in conjunction with a Electro Harmonix Crayon and it sounds fab.

I had tons of overdrive including TS 9dx, Golden Cello etc but this is now my no.1 OD. My MIJ tele sounds so warm and beautiful with WD

Tone is killer. It may be a knock off of the original but it's a damn good knock off.

OVERRATED. This thing should be $100 tops. Just get the Wampler Pantheon… it can do bluesbreaker, dumble, Klon, tweed, all of it for the same price.
