Digitech Hardwire Tube Overdrive vs Gearmanndude's LUTHER DRIVE guitar effects pedal shootout

The Lutherdrive versus the Digitech Hard Wire Tube Overdrive. Just a fun little side by side...the Digitech holds its own, I must admit. I used a Jaguar Junior amp from http://www.jaguaramplification.com and my Gibson SG Les Paul Custom shop thingy....ROCK ON!

I prefer the hardwire, because I can get more sounds, and In my opinion I dont like gibson, I dont like that sound, I prefer a Dean VMNT with Live wire Dave Mustaine pickups thats perfect for overdrive, but just my opinion :)

HARDWIRE the best thing comming from Digitech by far....

[ChoppaWhoppa1]

Hardwire for me. Sweet, mellow, yet articulte and crunchy tone.

dude the luther drive sounds amazing! :O

[missinglink27]

sound the same....

I was actually surprised, the Luther Drive sounds AMAZING! It's really clear and articulate even with chords. The HardWire is heavier and thicker tone. I love both pedals.

And the winner is Luther. The cm2 lacks the clarity of the intervals when two strings are played. The clarity of the chords is one of the best reasons why you chose a overdrive among other distortions.

Luther. It kinda destroys the cm2, which makes me sad, because Burgerman666 did a demo of the cm2 vs. Bad monkey (the dirt pedal i use) and the bm got destroyed. Judging from these demos, the cm2 beats the bm, the luther beats the cm2, the loud mod luther beats normal luther, landgraff beats loud mod luther, and rockbox boiling point beats landgraff...grrrr.

The Luther is a grat sounding drive, not sure what the "mods" might be on the 808 circuit. The Hardwire has an advantage in that it has two modes and a separate bass and treb control.

I personally do not like having just the one tone control. That is what I like about the Hardwire and the new Ice 9 more bass while being able to cut the highs as well. The Fulltone is really just a rolloff tone control, what I do not like about all the TS three knob variations. The Ice 9 is a great new drive.
