Animals Pedal, formerly Ninevolt Pedals, has been producing some really great gear over the last couple of years. Affordable, simple and with each one assigned a name wackier than the previous, these effects are made really well and sound just fantastic. Their latest offering is what we’re going to check out today – the Vintage Van Driving is Very Fun Overdrive (say that three times fast). This orange gem brings a vintage flavor to cover all of your overdriven needs, and give you that base drive tone you’ve been searching for.
The Tone, Volume and Drive controls are what you’d expect from a basic overdrive pedal, but the tones it produces are bright, clear and attacking. From a gorgeous clean boost to a warm mid-gain overdrive, it not only pushes your amp into that sweet spot, but brings an overall better feel and response to your playing. Flip the toggle switch from OD to Boost mode, and you can easily amp up another distortion or overdrive pedal, or add some tube-type tones into any digital amp, for a wide array of sonic choices to experiment with.
Bright orange with a really long name and some amazing tone-enhancing properties? Sounds good to us, and the Vintage Van Driving is Very Fun from Animals Pedal absolutely delivers on all points. The components, hardware and enclosures used on their pedals are top notch, and with a great price point on all their gear, this is one company you shouldn’t let slip by you. Cheers to them for another wonderful effect – please check out their website here, and see/hear the VVDIVF in action in our demo below!
