01Overview

Dozer Drive – Dual Drivology Pedal brings two well-known guitar pedal designs into one plugin. The fuzz section is modeled on a 1966 circular fuzz, and the overdrive section on a 1979 green overdrive pedal. Both can be used together to shape gain, saturation and grit, from light boost to heavy distortion. The developer says the plugin is aimed at recreating classic tones and also at building new sounds, both on guitar and on other instruments.

03In depth

Fuzz and overdrive sound and character

The fuzz section offers an NPN vs. PNP switch that selects between the clipping characteristics associated with silicon and germanium transistors. A Doom Mod adds heavier grind to the fuzz for more aggressive settings.

The overdrive section provides the mid-focused tone that the developer describes as the industry standard for overdrive. Its Fat Mod shifts that midrange character toward a stronger low end, which is useful when you want more weight under single notes and chords.

Routing and controls for dialing in drive

Dozer Drive lets you run the fuzz and overdrive in series in either order, or in parallel. In series, you can place the overdrive before the fuzz or the fuzz before the overdrive to change how the two stages interact.

When the two stages run in parallel, the mix control sets the balance between fuzz and overdrive. This gives you a single control for fine-tuning the ratio between the two characters.

For producers working with guitar, the combination of these routing options and mods makes it possible to move between vintage-style fuzz, mid-focused overdrive and combined textures.
