The Rust Driver Distortion Pedal from Hao was designed to recreate the classic sound of a late 60's Marshall Plexi running at full-bore grind. Its carefully selected components allow the Rust Driver to faithfully perform this function with any amplifier, at any volume level. The result is a commanding guitar tone with a tight, thick bottom and extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. A single knob controls output level and gain while 3 switchable EQ curves offer plentiful tonal options without compromising your guitar sound. When you need that "Plexi Sound" regardless of the playing situation, the Rust Driver is an affordable, reliable, portable alternative to the real thing.

Overdriven tones of late 60's British Plexi panel amps are still considered by many as among the best guitar tones. The Rust Driver stompbox is designed to produce thick, throaty sound, regardless of pickup types, that enhances the vital frequency range for electric guitars to cut through the mix. At the same time the Rust Driver pedal amazingly maintains a guitar's original tonal character. As a result, Rust Driver generates a tonal character very similar to those fabulous classic amps. With a preset 3-position EQ switch (Normal, Bright, Warm) and a Level control (amount of distortion is fixed), simplicity is the key to Rust Driver's unmatched tonal qualities.

Sounds oh so sweet. I use it just to kick up a little bit of dirt on my full rig. But sometimes, I just love to use it all on its own. It's no high gain distortion pedal, but if you want something that will give you great leads, and awesome clarity in your chords, then this is your pedal. Not that versatile, so you should probably try it out in person before you buy it.

The Hao Rust Driver pedal is everything they describe: warm Plexi-like overdrive, simple to use, and extremely well built. My search is over, I have been pushing my Music Man 2x12 combo with an Ibanez Tube Screamer and a Boss Blues Driver, both really good pedals, but this one just brings it, extremely satisfied and recommended!!!!

I play mostly country music with a Fender Tele through a Fender Hot Rod Deville. I usually don't need a hot destortion but of course I want it every now and then. I was looking for a 60's Marshall tone and baby does this pedal nail it. (note: It's not a vintage Marshall plexi head, but for a pedal it's as close as you can get). The instructions are in Japaneese, but if you can't figure it out you shouldn't be playing. It has a level knob and a toggle on the side for a warm, high, and normal mode that's it. If you want a vintage Marshall tone out of a Fender amp buy this pedal it screams.
