While there are certainly many options to choose from with those descriptive points, today’s pedal has all of these features in spades, with a nod to the green classic a lot of us love. Here is the Malibu Drive from PB&J Pedals…

Gain, Volume and Tone make up the classic and oft-used control section of the Malibu Drive, so there’s not a lot of wheel-reinvention in that regard. However, it has a great 808-type feel to its sound, capable of getting some spot-on SRV tones when paired with a great amp. Sweet blues licks come pouring out of this pedal, but you can flip it and turn it into a rock and roll animal by cranking the Gain up, too, making for some delicious lead/solo sounds as well. It has a TON of headroom, too, making it the perfect compliment to your tube amp, able to push it into scrumptious break-up territory with ease.

Not too flashy, or overloaded with too many options, this overdrive fits perfectly on any board, and will add sparkle to a perhaps lackluster sound you’ve been settling for. This isn’t their only pedal offering, so make sure to check out the PB&J Pedals website to see how they can help shape, strengthen and electrify your rig!
