Alexander Pedals Hot Pink Drive
Alexander Pedals · pedal
The Alexander Pedals Hot Pink Drive is a boutique overdrive built on the Princess Clang and Championship platform. A passive two-band shelving EQ gives it a British amplifier voicing for bass and treble, while an active midrange filter delivers up to 18dB of boost or cut for precise tonal control. The circuit produces glassy, articulate overdrive suited to blues and classic rock, responding well to picking dynamics and guitar volume rollback. The wide mid-sculpting range allows it to move from transparent drive to a tube screamer-style mid-hump tone.
