Detail 01
Voltage doubler
Provides increased headroom for the pedal's boost and overdrive range.

Independent shopping perspective
Sugar Drive puts boost and overdrive duties into a compact MXR pedal. Its Drive control brings in overdrive alongside the clean signal as it is raised, moving from a clean boost toward richer, smoother drive sounds. The voltage doubler is there for added headroom, while the side-mounted Buffer switch lets you choose buffered bypass instead of the default true bypass. With three knobs and a mini enclosure, it keeps this gain stage straightforward and space-conscious.
