Little Brute Drive Distortion

The Little Brute Drive (LBD) by EWS is a compact overdrive/distortion pedal designed to produce heavy crunch to fiery distortion sounds. Its compact design takes up minimal space on a pedal board, yet it delivers intense distortion similar to its big brother, the Brute Drive. The pedal features a single gain knob for adjusting the level of overdrive/distortion, and it is equipped with true bypass switching for maintaining signal integrity. Additionally, the LBD has output level and treble control, which can be adjusted with internal trimmers located on the PC board inside the pedal. The pedal is powered by a 9VDC battery or an optional AC adapter, with a power consumption of 6.4mA. The LBD is designed to work best with a 9V power supply, but it can also comply with external power supplies ranging from 9V to 18V. The pedal measures 38.5mm×92.5mm×55mm and weighs 300g.

The Little Brute Drive is known for its robust build quality and is considered gig-worthy due to its durable construction. It is capable of delivering high gain and sustain with exceptional note separation and clarity, making it suitable for players seeking a powerful distortion effect. The pedal has received positive reviews for its ability to produce a wide range of distortion styles, from mild crunch to face-melting distortion, while maintaining note separation and clarity even at high gain settings.

The Little Brute Drive is priced at approximately $160 and has been well- received for its compact size, user-friendly operation, and powerful distortion capabilities.
