www.ProGuitarShop.com - The Durham Sex Drive Clean Boost pedal was originally designed for Charlie Sexton who needed a clean boost with extra low end sustain when needed. So Durham Electronics came up with an ultra-transparent clean boost pedal that has a built in compressor. The Durham Sex Drive features 3 settings of compression (Soft, Hard, and Off) that won't squash the guitar signal. The Sex Drive is completely hand built and hand wired with Teflon wire and full sized Alpha pots. Durham decided against True-Bypass on this pedal (and all their pedals) and opted for a line buffer. This allows the Sex Drive to clean up your tone even when bypassed.

The Durham Sex Drive is hands down the most transparent boost pedal on the market today. The line buffer allows the Sex Drive to push signal through a maze of pedals or long cable runs keeping your signal pure. The Compression gives an even feel to the guitar's sustain without squashing the signal. It really is felt more than heard. The Gain knob acts more like a second volume boost than actual overdrive, keeping the signal clean and pure with just a little hair on the edges, perfect for pushing the front end of your amp into overdrive. The Tone knob is smooth and even without getting tinny or muffled sound. If you're looking for a transparent clean boost with optional sustain and compression, the Durham Sex Drive is your pedal.

  • This video is vintage PGS.

    "I'm playing on a G&L Legacy into a '65 Amps Soho. Here's the bypass signal."

    Miss that good ol' fashion line.

  • Same question that "guitargeek107".

    Is it really different from the xotic RC booster (I own one) or is it in the same league.

    Thanks for your demos

  • Another great video.  Any idea how much decibel increase you can get as a clean boost only...i.e. gain knob all of the way down?

    Thx!

  • wow!! ive been looking for a clean boost, as well as a compressor, and i think a pedal that does BOTH extremely well!!

    andy how much DB does this pedal boost?

  • i need a pedal for like really medolic riffs like amazing medolic clean tone any suggestions?????

  • This pedal is incredibly clear. It doesn't lose the initial note definition and attack of the rhythm playing even on the highest gain settings.

  • what do you think Keeley katana vs. the sex drive? need help choosing

  • what is the song that plays during the intro and outro of this video?

  • This thing sounds awesome.
