For 35.00 you are getting alot of pedal. If I didn't already know about this pedal and you gave it to me to try out I would guess it was at least a 70.00 pedal. It can produce a good bit of OCD tone and then some the OCD does not. Some people say its no where near it but this is all in the ear of the beholder. I doubt most could tell the difference at a live show in the average pub but hell for 35 bucks the fact it gets anywhere near an OCD is amazing. Just buy it if you want it and I feel you will not regret it. There are a lot of items people talk trash about in the music world that later on are considered awesome.

If you are a collector of "dirt" pedals, this is almost a non-brainer. As a sub $40 pedal, the Ultimate Drive by Joyo delivers molten juicy British EL34 tone at a very wallet friendly price. The enclosure is metal, the controls are solid to the touch and function, the graphics are cool and the tone is hot! It can be used to simply goose the amp input on a slightly overdriven amp or used as the overdrive for a clean amp. The Ultimate Drive straddles the line between overdrive and full on distortion. It features three dial controls for Gain, Level(volume) and Tone, as well as a mini switch labeled High and Low. This switch selects the emphasis on the mids and is interactive with the Tone control to allow more personal customization of your tone.The Bypass(on/off) footswitch is very sturdy with a very robust "click" when depressed. The red LED is very visible and won't blind you. The Ultimate Drive has a DC9 Volt input located at the "north" side of the unit and is a great idea to use, because you will probably want to leave this one on ALL the time. All in all, an AWESOME additon to almost any pedalboard!Read full review

This is an incredibly versatile pedal in my collection because it adds tone and feel that you just don't get without normally combining additional pedals. I run at fairly low level and gain, which means I have a lot of harnessed horses ready to run when I need it in other environments. The High/Low Tone combo is exceptional for giving the depth or clarity needed in any given setup. Highly recommend!

Excellent on blues, blues-rock, hard rock and alternative. Muddy and little raw / rough edge. Has micro-toggle switch, "high" & "low" tones. Heavier tones on the humbuckers, heavy on single coil...all depends on guitar, strings, amp, etc. Reminds me of a Fulltone's OCD, an Ibanes TS9 Tube Screamer, MXR's GT-OD pedals. Still can be used as a "boost" pedal, as well. Had some fun & enjoyed this pedal. Enjoy.

This unit does what it is supposed to do. I personally go light on overdrive but this pedal has a pretty good range. Sounds better than some of my older high end pedals. For around 30 bucks how can you go wrong.

Awesome pedal to add to your signal chain. Stacks great with other overdrive pedals or sounds awesome on its own. If the art work is the only thing holding you back from buying this pedal, buy some spray paint with it, after all its only a face on a GREAT sounding pedal!

This is a great pedal. It brought my Orange amp to life. So versatile with saturation that doesn't stop. Can't go wrong!
