Identical pedals to Analog Drive?

Hi all, I’m just curious if people happen to have found similar pedals to the Analog Drive that’s a much smaller footprint physically? I’d hate to want to part with mine but space is an issue at the moment.

Chase Bliss Brothers AM might nor offer exactly everything the Drive offers (e.g. no fuzz) but it has brought me the sound I had been looking for for decades, I highly recommend it!

In a lower budget, Dr. Scientist The Elements offers a wide range of sounds, plus it has a mix knob which is cool if you want to shoot bass in it.

You should state what kind og gear you want to use with this, btw. Cause these are mono guitar pedals.

Each one of these has 5 different types, and I kind of think that some are actually the same type on each pedal. I only ever owned Ages, but my mate has all three and can’t decide which one to keep. He’ll die undecided :rofl:


Any way. Don’t part with yours, ever.

EHX overlord or platform might be cheap options. Not sure how much smaller than analog drive they are though?

Sorry, yes, I should have mentioned what I’ve got going/churning away. I’ve currently got the following setup/chain:

Custom Noise generating Synth (Tectonic Waves)
Delay (Gehirn PitchDruid)
Reverb/Distortion (Walrus Audio Wall of Noise)
Tremolo/Fuzz (Gehirn The Gristle)
Preamp/Boost (Gehirn Doomlord)
Metal Fetishist (percussion synth)
Analog Drive
Push 3

I have wondered if maybe I can replicate what the Analog Drive does via Ableton Live, the Clean Boost is primarily/only what I use the Analog Drive for (which feels like a waste, but it sounds so good).

I produce Industrial/rhythmic noise by the way.

I’ll investigate those, thank you! Those ones @JamesM look nice. I’ll check’em out too! Thank you all so far.

I may also feel I may have the current chain a bit weirdly. At least with the boost/drive’s.

I asked this because guitar distorsion pedals often filter out bass, so if you want to keep some low end, having a pedal with a mix knob is a good thing :slight_smile:

I sold my analog heat and just use the ‘final glow’ rack in ableton now as an alternative on my push 3. Drive and Glow | Ableton there’s also Roar of course and these Tape and Saturation | Ableton
