While the shell pink finish is unusual to see on an effects pedal, the two influences here are not. The influence of the Ibanez Tube Screamer and Fulltone OCD is apparent across the price spectrum, and it wouldn't be difficult to pick up two budget mini pedals in this ballpark for around £70. But where Harley Benton's dual pedal series offers a tempting proposition is they save space and power outlets on your pedalboard, and players will know that's a constant juggling act. There's the added incentive of being able to change the gain stacking order the pedals are in at the flick of a switch (or leaving them independent). Practicality box ticked. So how does it sound?
The 'Tube Drive' TS-inspired side has the added versatility of the Hot/Warm modes seemingly inspired by Mooer's Green Mile mini pedal. It's not the same circuit though - we A/B'd them.
