6 Degree Fx Sally Drive

The team's opinion: If you're a fan of the feeling of a vintage tube amp, stop everything: This Sally Drive Custom is the Holy Grail. The 6 Degrees FX brand specializes in (very) high-end effects pedals produced in very limited series. Indeed, Canadians are used to manufacturing their products by hand, according to the processes of the 60s and with original vintage components, all without PCBs! We invite you to take a look inside: The workmanship is simply exemplary. But enough compliments and let's plug in there. Verdict? A slap ! What did I say ? A Tyson Uppercut. No matter what setting you choose, this pedal delivers an incredibly rich tone. Minimum gain, it will act as a boost but not so clean. Indeed, the Sally Drive tends to color the sound. But in a way so musical that once cut, your sound will seem dull to you. Push the gain and rediscover the rock/classic rock register of the 70s. For an Overdrive, the saturation still goes up quite high. We're not into hi-gain, but for ZZ Top Southern Rock it's the best (no pun intended). This is also its strong point. Although inspired by the Ibanez TS808, 6 Degrees FX has been able to erase its flaws. We had the opportunity to test an original TS808 and nothing to do: Although it has immense qualities, on a clean channel it paled in comparison to the Sally Drive. The Sally Drive is able to attach itself to any type of amp, on a clean or saturated channel and brings its color to it. Special mention: on a very saturated channel, volume up and gain down, The Sally Drive brings out the Palm Mutes like never before. An excellent reference, very rare on the second-hand market. The pedal is in good condition, but has some marks on the logo.
