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 CostaLab Buffer is an effective class A device that has been designed for two main purposes: to be inserted at the beginning of the pedalboards made up of many pedals, or it can be used at the end of the effects chain, just before the amplifier, as a line driver. 
Due to its high input impedance, is able to optimally preserve the quality of the signal, while maintaining the subtle nuances of timbre and absolutely respecting the expressiveness of the guitarist and bassist.

In addition to guitars and basses, this product is also suitable for acoustic instruments equipped with amplification system (acoustic or classical guitars, contrabasses, hitting guitars, etc.) for it not only recovers the signal loss, but revitalizes the sound with plenty of harmonics that characterize your instrument, and rich of nuances that determine your playing style.

The CostaLab Echolab is a classical style delay producing an echo that is so far away from the modern delay sound, too cold and accurate. The EchoLab is characterized by a warm tone, intentionally getting darker in the repetitions that, in their succession, giving an exceptional depth, very close to the effect produced by the old tape echo that you can hear in songs that we loved during the years.
It is just thanks to this great depth that the Echolab allows, by a proper adjusting, to replace the use of reverb, like the guitar tradition of '70s has taught us.

On the other hand, the direct sound is straight, present and respectful of your instrument tone while maintaining an excellent attack and an energetic "punch" without rings.

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.

The Costalab Twin Compressor is a dual compressor, which incorporates the Compressor CostaLab and all its sound characteristics and functional.  Furthermore, the addition of a pressure switch lets you select one of the two options, “Ross” and “Dyna” that remind of the two sounds of two compressors that made history of the modern guitar. 
With a simple click you can switch between the softer attack and slow release of the Ross mode, and the quick release and fastest mode of Dyna. 

The Twin Compressor is a very useful machine for those who want to have inside the same box two distinct choi- ces, two tones that can further characterize your approach to making music, without distinction with your guitar or your bass.
