The “Quetzal Drive” (Version 2) combines two overdrives (OD) into one enclosure to create a powerful and extremely versatile overdrive. The left side OD circuit is inspired by the classic Ibanez TS-808 circuit that provides smooth drive with a pronounced mid-hump. The  circuit includes various diode clipping options and bass EQ mod that yield dramatically different overdrive sounds. The right side of the pedal is a circuit based on the legendary Klon Centaur. Active both ODs together for a powerful overdrive.  An order switcher allows you to decide the pedal order that sounds best.
 
The Quetzal Drive is dynamic enough to cover many different genres, and it sounds great at both stage and bedroom volume. It's also great at replicating the huge overdrive sound of many other classic guitar tones.
 
The bass mini-toggle switch allows you to change the bass EQ for the left side overdrive by selecting between I (the stock EQ) and deeper bass settings II (more) or III (more-more). The clipping mini-toggle allows you to select from LED clipping (center position) which delivers a large increase in volume that produces a very open and dynamic sound with less compression. The down position (D1) selects stock silicon clipping diodes in opposite directions, and the up position (D2) selects silicon diodes in the same direction. Each selection has a different and distinctive crunch allowing for more sonic possibilities than the traditional overdrive. The silicon diode clipping provides smooth and creamy overdrive with tighter crunch and slight compression. Mixing variations of clipping diodes and bass EQ allows for a wide range of tonal options.
 
Activating both overdrives together creates a huge overdrive sound with increased dynamics and gain that's perfect for lead work.
 
This pedal is true bypass and the analog circuit board is a high quality PCB. Some of best available electrical components were used to outfit the circuit. All components are lead-free and RoHS certified. The enclosure is designed to represent aged historic documents and letters. The artwork is inspired by pre-Colombian symbolism.
