Dumbbell Driver

Shnobel Tone's handmade pedals out of Russia have built a quiet following among players who value carefully voiced drive circuits. The Dumbbell Driver represents their most ambitious build yet, combining two of their standalone pedals into a single enclosure.

The left side houses the Daily Driver overdrive with its four-knob layout: Volume, Gain, and a High/Low EQ pair backed by a three-position toggle for additional high-cut voicing. The right side carries their Dumble-inspired boost circuit where the Input knob doubles as an impedance control and tone shaper, sweeping from bright and focused to full-range with rich harmonic content.

Both circuits run independently on dedicated true-bypass footswitches, and a toggle lets you flip the signal order between boost-into-drive and drive-into-boost. At $329 it's two pedals on one board, with top-mounted jacks and hand-soldered through-hole construction.
