AmpMojo Sol Drive Responsive Tube Overdrive

There’s not a lot that’s better than plugging in your favorite Overdrive pedal, cranking up a good amplifier and hitting an E, G or D chord of your choice and letting it ring out, is there? Well, the short answer is YES, if you have a pedal like the AmpMojo Sol Drive Responsive Tube Overdrive. This one has an ACTUAL TUBE inside, bringing warm and inviting drive sounds anywhere and everywhere you need them to be…

The Sol Drive pedal is truly a remarkable piece of gear, with a unique tonal character that sets it apart from other overdrive pedals. It was inspired by the classic “D” style tube amplifiers of the ’70s and ’80s, which were known for their warm, dynamic overdrive, and the Sol Drive manages to capture that essence in a pedal format. One of the standout features of the Sol Drive is its use of a Tung-Sol 12AX7 pre-amp tube, which adds a level of harmonic complexity to the pedal’s sound that is difficult to achieve through solid state circuits.

This tube is installed in a genuine amplifier tube socket mounted on brass standoffs, which ensures that it is securely and reliably held in place. Moreover, this pedal is designed to accommodate other pre-amp tubes such as 7025, 12AT7, 5751 or similar, allowing you to customize the overall tonal character and gain response. This pedal is all about versatility, so you can dial in just the right sound for you.

The Sol Drive also works well with other drive pedals and boosted signals, adding a subtle depth to any overdrive placed before it. Single coils can sometimes be weak, in those cases try using a booster or drive to send a strong signal to the Sol Drive. The Sol Drive is built to be tour-grade – however, there is a real tube inside so, please use some care and don’t throw it off of a building or out of an airplane.

I’ve often wondered why more overdrive units don’t utilize actual tubes in their circuits, but maybe that just makes pedals like the Sol Drive Responsive Tube Overdrive that much more special and pseudo-rare, right? The look, size and sounds of this one all fit the bill perfectly, and it was a real honor for AmpMojo to send this one our way to check out. Be sure to visit our YouTube channel for the Full Demo as well, where I dive into numerous different settings to see the tonal and overdriven range this unit has to offer.
