Only with guitar, it if you use a Mixing Link from Eventide, you can put it in the loop.
Check the Analog Drive, plenty of sounds can be had, and presets.

Anyone knows what AD circuit is the closest to a Pro Co Rat clone ?
I saw a cheap one, but I’m not sure if it is worth it having AD.
I don’t remember the specifics but I read this once and remember it being very detailed, might have something you can learn towards your question.

gotta mirror the sentiment that I don’t really care for the AD so much on guitar, but I like it a lot for really making synths sound gross. I got it on sale for like 80 bucks years ago so it was a bargain for me. Idk if I’d get one for much more though, the AH just sounds that much better for general use.

For incredible 89€ price AD was no brainer and worth it ! I still have 2 ADs (first one for 150€ 2nd). Different from AH, can get much nastier…

thinkin about snaggin one of these to use in my live guitar rig . but i noticed on a lot of digitally controlled drive pedals, there are pops/clicks or small audio dropouts between patch/circuit changes. has anyone noticed anything like that with this pedal ???
Seems normal to me if it happens when you change circuits. Not too bad imho, but I didn’t check in a preset change context. (Usually tweaking same preset).
Beware, pretty noisy with high gain setting, noise gate probably necessary.
Analog Heat can be a very good contender. Cleaner, less noise, filter. I prefered its Octave Fuzz.
For dirty sounds AD is better.

AD did end up a bit noisy for my taste in the guitar chain. Would probably be fun in high gain, heavy distortion scenarios. Would’ve needed significant noise suppression for me - probably too much.

Just wanted to add my 2¢ here, I bounced off the Heat back in the day, it didn’t do it for me as a mix bus or synth effect. But I got a Drive specifically as an analog front end to an HX Stomp for guitar recording and it’s maybe my favorite distortion pedal of all time. I’m really overjoyed by it. I don’t find it noisy! Or, if it is, that’s just part of what distortion is all about imo.

AD is much noisier than AH, which can be a really good guitar fx btw…
Noise reduction for me too with AD.
