Mythos Air Lane Drive
Mythos · pedal
The Mythos Air Lane Drive is a limited-edition dual overdrive pedal built in collaboration with Nashville's Novo Guitars, featuring two distinct drive channels with independent footswitches and gain knobs. Both channels are based around the same single transistor topology, but each is tweaked with different diode clipping arrangements optimized for stacking. Suite 8 (Novo side) delivers medium-level overdrive with full low-end and sparkling trebles using asymmetrical clipping for smooth, amp-like compression. Suite 9 (Mythos side) emphasizes aggression with trimmed bass end, symmetrical clipping, and NOS Germanium diodes for extra bite and character. High-quality components throughout ensure durability.
