Tokai Metal Driver TMD-1
The Tokai Metal Driver TMD-1 is an overdrive pedal that shapes its gain response around a hard-clipping distortion stage. Its Drive control sets the amount of gain, ranging from a mild crunch to a saturated, high-gain tone, while the Tone control adjusts the high-frequency content, letting you darken or brighten the output. The Level control determines the pedal's output volume, which can be used to boost an amplifier's front end or match the bypassed signal level. The pedal operates with a standard 9V DC power supply and features a true bypass footswitch that routes the input directly to the output when disengaged, preserving the unaffected guitar signal. Its metal chassis is built to withstand stage use, and the simple three-knob layout makes it straightforward to dial in a distorted sound without complex menu navigation.

- This unit has the same IC as the Ibanez TS-808, but has a better control of the timbre with the bright knob. I even think it sounds better than the TS-808. It's a great and flexible little machine, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Very good sound quality, very flexible in sound control, great power sound.
- Good Points: The soundsculpting flexebilety. It's easy to find the TS-808 sound, but has morsounds to offer.
