Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The MK 2 version of Carl Martin's Hot Drive'n Boost — overdrive and boost in one wide enclosure, $279, built for rock guitar.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Rock players wanting one dirt pedal plus a footswitchable level lift
- Stoner and psych rigs built on a raw, mid-forward drive
- Anyone consolidating two pedals into one board slot
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Compact or crowded boards — the footprint is large
- Players after a transparent, level-only clean boost
- Modern metal tones needing tight, scooped high gain
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
6.1 in deep
Deep enough to eat into the row behind it on a two-tier board.
Detail 03
2.56 in tall
Taller than a standard compact box, so clearance under a riser is not a given.
Detail 04
3.53 lb
Substantial weight for a single pedal; use heavy-duty hook-and-loop so it does not walk under a hard stomp.
Detail 05
Drive plus boost together
One slot, one power connection, no patch cable between the stages.
Detail 06
MK 2 revision
A middle version of a long-running design; layout and enclosure differ from both the original and the mk 3.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit on a small pedalboard?
Probably not comfortably. At 12.24 by 6.1 inches it occupies about a full row on a small board.
02How does the MK 2 differ from the mk 3?
The mk 3 is the later revision of the same design. Both share this 12.24 by 6.1 inch footprint, 3.53 lb weight, and $279 price.
03Can the boost run separately from the drive?
Yes. The two are independent functions in one enclosure, so the boost can be used without the overdrive engaged.
04What styles does it suit?
Rock, stoner rock and psychedelic playing. The voicing is aggressive, punchy and high-output rather than subtle or transparent.
