Shift Line: STAGES Dynamic Drive
Музыка
shift-line.com/stages
Three stages - low, medium and high. Three-stage High Pass Filter - flat, 250Hz and 400Hz. 3-band EQ. 9-12V DC with internal charge pump to 18V for more dynamics. The Stages Dynamic Drive is supremely versatile and not selfish either - it just loves another drive pedal in front of it. Shift-Line gear always impresses me. It's simple to use, built beautifully with clear and intuitive graphics and the sound is always killer. The Stages Dynamic Drive is no exception. Try it.

Thank you again, Mr D.
The Charvel is getting a lot of action lately! Sounds very nice! The drive is very good too! The HPF does a great job, and all three positions are useful, depending on the level of gain. The drive itself has a nice characteristic to it.
I got mine few days ago and I’m impressed. I build tube amps and I designed a tube amp last year that has a fenderish clean channel and a very versatile od channel that goes from jtm, plexi, jcm, slo, dumble, etc. , using different gain stages and tone shaping switches. The thing is that this pedal on the clean channel sounds, feels and behave just as my amp’s od channel on the marshallish kind of tones. It’s so good, very clear, defined, articulate and so amp like. It’s also very, very dynamic. Love it.!!!
Pretty cool
Nice pedal, covers a mob of ground.... but the pickups in that Charvel are the stars, not even a huge humbucker fan, but they're articulate as. Gd work mate, luv shit l can't afford!!👍

Yeah, they're great pickups. The only set Charvel have manufactured for a signature model aside from Guthrie's, I believe. These ones are A3 PAF-style. Very chimey and not too hot.

@@BrettKingman Aaah! Al 3 makes sense, yeah mate they chime nice & note sep is good. Cheers Burgs.
Hey Brett, I never found the right pedals in the 70s to get the sustain and distortion right. I ended up using a 35W Fender Tremolux head with a dummy load and a Marshall transistor head as a slave. My band hated me for not using a Marshall valve amp. When I saw Wings live, Danny McCulloch had a similar set-up. Stages sounds like what I was looking for. What are you using for reverb?
All the world's a Stage...
Maybe it would sound good placed in the post pre-amp section of an amp's effects loop for live use?
Gain sounds very natural and organic.
Pedal sounds pretty good, but the colour on that Charvel is wonderful!

Inca Silver, Michael. Cool, isn't it? Nitro too.

Nitro is a bonus. I remember seeing Bruce Kulick playing a similar coloured superstrat back when he first joined Kiss, but the finish on that one was more sparkly metallic flake, I like yours better.
