“Everything from the original has been preserved – the same high quality THT components and all the same controls delivered in exactly the same manner – meaning that the Drive (x4) and Depth (x6) controls are notched – which is a really cool way to power through the gears!”
Stefan Karlsson – Guitar Pedal X
“This manifests as a hugely potent and slightly menacing 2 x BC109 Transistor Fuzz which is capable of some significant degree of fierceness – but is beautifully tempered by NOS Germanium Diodes – which rather renders it as more fat and juicy – with most of that really rough and strident silicon spikiness removed”

Very useful, nice tone, good design and simple. I was looking for good mixer/loop for a long time. I really wanted a good quality mixer/loop, which does not change the tone, useful, simple system and compact size pedal, and finally I found the one made by my friend Giulio. I put the K-loop on my board. Thank you Giulio. Awesome!!!” subtitle=”Masaya Shinohara (GIT alumni, MI Japan guitar instructor)”][/lightbox]

I’m actually able to use KuroDrive exactly as it is, without any other distortion/boost pedals and I get what I need in terms of dynamic range, rounded gain and mids.” subtitle=”Enrico Sesselego (GIT alumni, RIT alumni, Sound Engineering Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and many others)”][/lightbox]

KuroDrive is a great pedal, I use it with Japanese singer Tokiko Kato
“KuroDrive is really sensitive to picking-response. Its versatility allows you to create the “full-on” distortion sound but I personally like to keep the gain low and enjoy the colors you can make with subtle picking/volume nuances. I especially love using it as a clean booster”
