This Billy Sheehan signature drive is a fantastic option for players seeking a warm, aggressive overdrive with a clean boost option.

It's a great choice for rock, metal, and funk players who want a focused, powerful tone.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a clean boost that sits *underneath* the overdrive – it adds volume and clarity without adding distortion, perfect for solos or adding sparkle.
It can be either! The threshold control allows for a wide range, from barely noticeable sustain to a more pronounced, compressed sound, but the mid-mode leans towards the aggressive side.
It shines with basses having a darker, more fundamental tone – think P-basses or Jazz basses. It also pairs well with amps that might be a little too clean or lacking in natural drive.
