We're going flat – but that's far from the end of the story – with the Intensive Care Audio Death Drive. An all-original overdrive and distortion straight from London's premier medicinal effect purveyors, the Death Drive is a versatile and dynamic drive to perform on so many levels as your main drive device, a player in your arsenal of dirts, or anything in between.

The Death Drive bases itself around an original analog drive circuit that effortlessly hits so many dynamics of dirt from mild, crispy drives primed to push your best tube amp to a belligerent, destructive distortion to tear down the walls. Four responsive and interactive controls harness the power of the Death Drive with incredible tone-shaping capabilities.

Ego, our volume control, allows for massive mountains of distorted output as the Death Drive is a very high-output device. Drive and Destruction work together to shape the gain amount of the effect as primary and secondary gain controls, respectively. Destruction allows for a natural, tube-like distortion full of vintage character at lower settings and a marvelously compressed and saturation at higher settings retaining plenty of clarity for individual notes. Drive's secondary gain control enables a second step of gain shaping that plays incredibly well with Destruction. Finally, the Mood control makes for a tone-shaping opportunity to brighten or darken the overall output of the drive.

The Death Drive punches in with soft-touch, relay-based true bypass switching that retains signal clarity and standard nine-volt DC center negative power operation to make this pedal fit in immediately with your current setup.

A treatment for Bland Guitar Syndrome, the Death Drive should be taken as directed by your physician.
