EWS Brute Drive BD-1

EWS Brute Drive BD-1

The Brute Drive (BD-1) distortion pedal. Unlike it's cousin the Fuzzy Drive (FD-1), the BD-1 was designed for more smoother and classic distortion tones. In addition to the standard volume, gain and tone controls, it sports a "Boost Switch" to enhance low-mid/gain. Even at low distortion gain settings, engaging the Boost Switch provides fat crunch sound. With a user friendly control layout, aluminum casing and of course True Bypass switching, rich distortion tones are easily had.


Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price: $190.00

  • Great distortion sound, ceamy not muddy. Also not very noisey even with gain maxed out. A clean overdrive sound. Gain is very usable in all positions. tone control works well. Boost not overpowering, just enough to give a little edge. I like this pedal alot. Build quality seems very good. Best pedal I have bought in some time.
