The Ushuaia Drive has an original circuit developed by Cachalote, featuring a 100% analog signal chain with only discrete components. This overdrive pedal embodies a bold personality with an amp-like dynamic breakup. It delivers clean and transparent tones, featuring an extremely responsive low-gain, a versatile mid-boost, classic overdrive tones, and can transition all the way to a full-bodied drive, rich in bass with a fuzz-like texture. Its circuit has two saturation stages. The first one uses a MosFET transistor, and the second one uses a BJT 2n2222a metal-can transistor. The combination of a transistor with more advanced technology with one with classic characteristics provides a dynamic, organic, and articulate tone. The Ushuaia Drive is true-bypass with an internal relay and a soft-touch footswitch.
