The Dual Drive is a seriously useful little module for adding grit and character to your modular patches. It's perfect for anyone wanting to explore dynamic distortion and overdrive, from subtle warmth to full-on chaos. The CV control is the real magic here, letting you modulate the drive in interesting ways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each tone offers a distinct flavor - one is more subtle saturation, another a harsher clipping, and the third a more mid-focused distortion.
While it can provide a slight lift, it's primarily designed for distortion; a dedicated clean boost would be more suitable.
It's more focused on aggressive overdrive than the Ruban's broader palette, and doesn't offer the waveshaping complexity of the Waveshaper, but offers a unique and affordable alternative.
