Chandler Limited Germanium Drive Pedal
The Germanium Drive is really a germanium pedal like none you’ve used before. It has all the tone and color you would expect from germanium but none of the mud and none of the fat – only an intense colored germanium tone.
This pedal was inspired by our Germanium preamps and our work with other germanium amplifiers, but has even more to it. The five feedback selections on the Germanium Drive modify the tone, harmonic distortion and clipping of the pedal and offer a nice range of uses from tighter, lightly driven to slightly fuzzy to full on germanium hell!
The first two products will be a new direction for Chandler Limited. Chandlers founder Wade Geoke has been a guitar player for 30 years and it’s really what got him into music and recording. Wade has long been interested in making guitar pedals and pursuing sounds that he wanted for guitar but have been unable to obtain with other gear. Wade’s been experimenting with distortion and boost sounds for the last year and a half and feels that he has two guitar pedals that will offer the Chandler sound and build to a new audience.
Both Little Devil Boost and Germanium Boost guitar pedals are Class A circuit designs that are hand wired and constructed like all Chandler products. Both offer large amount of high quality colored gain, selection of boost range, and three feedback settings. The Little Devil Boost is inspired by our upcoming Little Devil 500 pre amp, while the Germanium is reminiscent of our Germ Pre and Curvebender units. The intense sounding discrete amps and feedback settings are the heart of the units. As with the Germ Pre and Little Devil pres you can manufacture and enhance sounds easily and have a variety of sounds at your disposal. The three position feedback switch on each pedal is very much like having three different pedals and when combined with the boost range and gain allow for even more experimentation.
