There is a ton of pedals in
this Soundtank series, and most of the cool ones are not cheap,
which makes them not underrated by default. However, the
Cyberdrive is probably the coolest one of them all, and it is still
both cheap and underrated. The topology of the Terminator’s
favorite pedal resembles an MXR Distortion+ with LED (instead
of germanium) clipping and a twin filter circuit that resembles a
wah (think Tychobrahe Parapedal). Usually a banal combination
of fundamental building block effects is a total yawnfest, but
the description of this pedal is enough to make users comb
eBay in search of the Cyberdrive. Seekers of the most cyber of
drives will be handsomely rewarded, but good luck finding a
demo—it doesn’t exist. Just trust me on this; it’s awesome and
impossible not to love. Did I mention it’s pretty cheap? Finding
a Cyberdrive for around $50 is pretty commonplace.
