CYBERDRIVE
“THIS IS THE RARE PEDAL
WHOSE DEMOS DON’T EXIST,
BUT USE YOUR IMAGINATION.
THEN IMAGINE IT’S A LITTLE
COOLER THAN THAT. THIS IS
THE CYBERDRIVE.”
Sadly, this is the only member of the
“Soundtank” series to make it onto
the list; the other cool ones are already
grabbing (relatively) ridiculous sums,
the Echomachine and Crunchyrhythm.
Anyway, there’s no way around it:
the Cyberdrive resembles an MXR
Distortion+ circuit with a wah circuit
and LED clipping. Usually when a
circuit is laid before you, the reader,
in no uncertain terms, it makes the
circuit sounds boring. It’s much like
when someone says “X pedal is a Tube
Screamer,” or “Y pedal is a Fuzz Face,”
and it sounds pulse-slowingly boring.
Did any of that kind of thing happen
with the Cyberdrive description? Of
course not, because the idea sounds
awesome and makes you want to play
it badly. Rest assured that if you choose
that route, the way of the Cyberdrive,
you will be handsomely rewarded.
This is the rare pedal whose demos
don’t exist, but use your imagination.
Then imagine it’s a little cooler than
that. This is the Cyberdrive.
