Carl Martin Hot Drive’n Boost Mk3 Pedal

The anniversary Hot Drive’n Boost MK3 features a completely new overdrive design that provides an even more authentic “tube” simulating overdrive compared to the original HDB, which is known to be one of the best. The new HDB MK3 sounds like a high-quality tube amp, and unlike nearly every other overdrive pedal, it does not change the original tone. It has no midrange pronouncement, no low end cut-off, and no high end cut-off, all of which gives a clear, brilliant tube drive of its own.

Carl Martin Hot Drive’n Boost Mk3 Pedal Review

It features a built-in mains power supply, two-in-one functions (overdrive & boost), and a blue high-bright LED. With the BOOST feature, the Hot Drive’n Boost MK3 is a “TWO IN ONE” pedal that allows you to get that extra “kick” (up to 20db) for solos to really stand out. The Hot Drive’n Boost MK3 has a built-in regulated power supply. This enables us to design circuitry of the highest quality with maximum headroom. The low output impedance ensures a low-noise connection and provides improved working conditions for the guitar amp.
