The Rodenberg TB Drive Shakedown Special is a seriously cool pedal for players chasing that vintage, saturated overdrive tone. Having two GAS-808 circuits in one box gives you a ton of options, from subtle grit to full-on distortion. Tyler Bryant clearly knows what he wants, and this pedal delivers a responsive, powerful drive that’s perfect for blues, rock, and even heavier styles.

Frequently Asked Questions
