WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

The Dual Soda Drive+ effectively gives you two drive pedals in one enclosure.

One side can be set for a mild boost or low-gain rhythm sound while the other handles heavier distortion or fuzz, and both can then be stacked for a third level of gain.

That makes it particularly useful for players who want multiple gain stages without filling a pedalboard with several separate pedals.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Two Independent Drive Channels

The Dual Soda Drive+ contains two independent Soda Drive+ circuits.

Each channel has its own footswitch and controls, so either side can be used alone or both can be engaged simultaneously.

Volume Control

Each channel has its own Volume control.

This allows the output level of the two channels to be balanced independently, making it easy to set one side as a rhythm tone and the other as a lead boost.

Tone Control

Each channel also has a dedicated Tone control.

This provides control over the brightness and overall character of each drive sound.

Distortion Control

The Distortion control adjusts the amount of gain generated by each channel.

Lower settings work well for light crunch and bluesy drive, while higher settings move into heavier distortion.

THREE-WAY MODE SWITCHING

Each channel features its own 3-way toggle switch.

Standard Drive Mode

This is the core Soda Drive distortion sound.

It provides the most conventional overdrive/distortion response and works well from low-gain crunch through to more saturated tones.

Booster Mode

Booster mode reduces the amount of distortion and provides greater clean or semi-clean output.

This works particularly well for pushing an amplifier or another pedal harder.

Germanium Mode

The Germanium setting introduces germanium diode clipping for a softer, fuzzier and more vintage-style distortion character.

The two channels use different germanium diode voicings, giving additional tonal variety when switching or stacking them.

STACKING THE TWO CHANNELS

One of the main advantages of the Dual Soda Drive+ is the ability to engage both sides together.

For example, you could use:

  • Channel 1 as a clean boost

  • Channel 2 as an overdrive

  • Both together for a higher-gain lead sound

Or:

  • Channel 1 as a light drive

  • Channel 2 as germanium fuzz

  • Both together for a thicker saturated tone

This makes the pedal particularly flexible in a live setup.

TRUE BYPASS

The pedal uses true bypass switching, keeping the signal path straightforward when the effect is disengaged.

GUITAR & BASS USE

Raygun FX designed the Dual Soda Drive+ for use with both guitar and bass.

Its wide range of gain settings makes it useful for everything from mild breakup to much heavier distortion and fuzz textures.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Raygun FX Dual Soda Drive+ is particularly well suited to:

  • Rock guitarists

  • Blues players

  • Alternative musicians

  • Indie guitarists

  • Bass players

  • Pedalboard users who need multiple gain stages

  • Players who like stacking drive pedals

  • Musicians looking for boutique UK-built effects

  • Players wanting boost, overdrive, distortion and fuzz in one pedal

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The Dual Soda Drive+ works particularly well for:

  • Blues

  • Rock

  • Classic rock

  • Alternative

  • Indie

  • Garage

  • Punk

  • Bass drive

  • Low-gain boost

  • Rhythm overdrive

  • Lead distortion

  • Fuzz textures

HOW IT COMPARES

Dual Soda Drive+ vs Single Overdrive

A conventional overdrive pedal provides one main gain stage.

The Dual Soda Drive+ provides two independent gain channels, allowing separate rhythm and lead sounds or stacked gain.

Dual Soda Drive+ vs Separate Boost & Drive

Because either channel can operate in Booster mode, the pedal can cover both boost and drive duties from one enclosure.

Germanium Mode vs Standard Drive

Standard Drive provides a more conventional overdrive/distortion response.

Germanium mode provides a softer, fuzzier clipping character with a more vintage feel.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Players who want two independently controllable gain stages in one compact enclosure.

Customers usually upgrade from: Basic single overdrive or distortion pedals and players looking to simplify multi-pedal gain setups.

Most commonly paired with: Clean or lightly breaking-up amplifiers, compressors, fuzz, modulation, delay and reverb.

Our tip: Set one channel to Booster mode and the other to Standard Drive, then stack them together for a very usable three-level gain setup: clean, drive and boosted lead.

Showroom feedback: The real strength of the Dual Soda Drive+ is flexibility. Each side can cover several different gain textures, and stacking the channels gives significantly more options than a conventional dual overdrive.
