Overdrive When You Want It Distortion When You Need It

DLS introduce the Reckless Driver stompbox   27-Feb-14

DLS says that their new Reckless Driver Distortion/Overdrive is an Overdrive when you want it, and a Reckless Distortion when you need it. A spokesperson told us, "The beauty of this effect is that by using the clean Mix and Gain controls, you can set your tone clean with a full warm tube sound, or rich Overdriven tones, or heavy biting 'Reckless' distortion for leads, and anything in between! The Attack switch is a subtle control that changes the edge and brightness, and can even make solid state sound like a tube amp! Couple this with extra wide, dynamic Bass and Treble controls, plus separate Normal and Boost Channels, and you end up with one powerful effect!"

Features:

• Normal Channel with its own VOLUME, GAIN, and MIX pots to achieve from clean to overdriven or distortion tones. (the Normal volume drives the Boost channel. This makes the boost volume relative to the normal volume..... similar to a master volume)
• Boost Channel with its own VOLUME, GAIN, and MIX pots to achieve from clean to overdriven or distortion tones (Normal channel drives into Boost channel)
• Boost Switch: Switches between Normal and Boost channels on the fly, even if the effect is bypassed (Off)
• Bass control: Full range bass with dynamic response
• Treble control: Wide range treble with dynamic response
• Attack switch: when high attack (switch right), there is slightly more attack and brightness. This subtle change makes tube amps a hair more aggressive & brighter, or the edge required to make solid state amp sound like a tube amp. Most noticeable with high GAIN.
