The Korena take

Built around the response of British Super Lead and Super Bass amplifiers, the SL Drive puts two selectable gain voices on a compact pedalboard footprint. Internal dip switches let you choose a brighter, higher-gain Super Lead character or the fuller, lower-treble Super Bass setting. It also responds to the guitar’s volume control, allowing the drive to clean up without changing pedals. True bypass keeps the pedal out of the signal path when switched off.
