Skreddy Pedals Screw Driver
There are several things that distinguish the Screw Driver ($195 direct) from
many of its competitors: It offers amazing output even when using very low
settings on the Gain control, and its Sharpness knob provides a lot of shaping
control over the bass frequencies and doesn’t just roll off the highs. The Screw
Driver’s distortion voice is rich and meaty with just enough fuzz around the
edges to keep things interesting. And the fun doesn’t stop there, as you get a
side mounted Pregain trimpot that adjusts the gain of the input Mosfet
transistor—allowing you to set the overall gain of the pedal to best suit your
needs—as well as a side-mounted Brilliance trimmer that adjusts the overall
treble response. These extra functions make it easy to tailor the Screw Driver
for just about any requirement—from old-school grind to vicious high-gain
sounds—adding a lot of utility to what on the surface would seem like a pretty
simple stompbox. Another cool aspect of the Screw Driver is its neat handwired
circuit and fully exposed components. It’s always a drag when you see a bunch of
glop poured over the parts, and to its credit, Skreddy makes it fun to look
inside. —Art Thompson
Kudos Rich distortion tones. Doubles as a clean booster.
Very effective Sharpness control. Externally adjustable gain and EQ trimmers.
Concerns None.
