The CostaLab Moon Drive is inspired to the most classic distortion pedal, the Big Muff. Its circuit is based on the four gain stages, two of which house the clipping circuits, which is its greatest strength. Made with germanium diodes, they offer a very personal tone, smooth and with a huge amount of harmonics. 
The tone control is of the type DTC that is Dynamic Tone Control. It works by interacting with the gain control: when you are using distortion at an high level, the sound is rich and open, so the tone should be dosed accordingly; on the contrary, with only a bit of gain, the sound is more closed and less harmonious, opening the tone compensates for this natural feature. The CostaLab Moon Drive is equipped with a Class A buffer is always active, characterized by a very high input impedance.

The Custom Muff is a pedal built on the basis of the most classic Big Muff with silicon clipping, but with variations specifically designed to make its sound rich of mids but without low-frequency rumbling.
The Custom Muff is a reinterpretation of a classic which allows you to exit the mass of sound in any group and under any conditions.
It 'a real marvel of rock sound and it can be easily matched to guitars with humbuckers or single coil magnets. It has devastating levels of gain and a super high-definition. Used to solos, the Custom Muff produces a very rich and cutting through the mix sound, playing chords or power chords instead, it is able to raise up some real walls of sound.

The CostaLab Bad Angel is a pedal with a double nature.
An open overdrive, clear and dynamic and even a powerful distortion achieving high saturation levels, with high definition and a very focused timbre.
Simply by adjusting the Drive pot, you can get from a soft crunch to an hard rock sound and even more. The button “Saint Sinner” engages one of two different clipping circuits, developed in years of works and tests. They originate wo very different carachters. 
One is more classic and compressed, the other more modern and dynamic.
The tone pot gives the guitarist the chance to optimize its sound sweeping in an accurate range, totally usable, without getting solutions theorically possible but not realistic.

The Costalab Natural Drive is a pedal built on two cornerstones: dynamic and expressiveness. Its circuit is based on more traditional network of distortion with symmetrical clipping. The presence of germanium diodes gives a vintage flavour, very round and full of harmonics. 

The guitar tone is not modified in any way, even with the sustain set to the max, using the volume control of the instrument or just playing with dynamics very light, you can return to the clean sound, viceversa, using it with a energetic playing, the Natural Drive responds by producing a distorted sound rich and incisive. 

The feeling that results is the same that you get playing with the old single-channel tube amp, pushed at maximum volume.

Once you reach the right dynamic feeling, the expressiveness of the guitar player is made very prominent.

The Dual Drive represents the state of the art of the overdrive sound. Inspired by a must as the TS808, in addition, it offers modern solutions and more suitable options to the music of today. The result is a pedal that allows you to have in a single box all the tones of overdrive, the sound of late 70's up to the most modern of today.
The Dual Drive is equipped, in addition to the classic power switch, with a second switch that enables the MORE DRIVE function. By enabling this feature it just select a second gain circuit able to get higher levels of drive.
First stage of gain provides a light overdrive sound that enhances the dynamics and expressiveness of the guitar player even if you are playing with humbukers.
