Friedman Motor City Drive update


Recommended Posts

One of the best overdrive pedals I have ever owned. https://friedmanamplification.com/products2/motor-city-drive. I bought it about 6 months ago, and put it in my "road" pedal board, tried it for a day or two and closed up the road board and set it aside for about 6 months. Day before yesterday I decided to rearrange my "house" pedal board, so I dug out the road board and brought my house board out to my workshop for rearrangement. Anyways after a few moments of tweaking the Friedman Motor City Drive, I began to see that it suited my taste in overdrive sounds more than any other overdrive pedal that I have ever owned. With a short amount of tweaking the tone controls I came up with the smoothest lead sound very similar to Carlos Santana's sweet overdrive sounds on his first few albums. The pedal ain't cheap but it is not too far outta the park price wise for a tube overdrive pedal.

It did not take me long to set it up. I have my amps only on clean, and the tone controls set on both of my amps to give a similar clean tone to each other, and the Motor Drive set up only took a few minutes to tweak in to my taste. But I needed to have it in my house with my amps.
