Meme king Chibson is back with another pun-tastic pedal, and the Drive is such an obvious play on Google’s highly popular cloud storage service that it’s mystifying that it wasn’t made sooner.
Landing on April Fool’s Day – the firm’s favorite launch date – the overdrive pedal is obviously very witty in its marketing and messaging, but miraculously, it isn’t solely here for the punchline.

Of course, the jokes don’t stop there, with the pedal supposedly loved for its “synchronization of an overdriven signal from the 3-dial, custom-voiced ‘Storage Against The Machine’ Data Center Circuit.” But beyond its side-splitting silliness, what does the pedal actually offer?
Well, its controls are in classic OD territory, with dials for Storage (Volume), Spam (Tone), and Trash (Drive), and it packs a USB socket for gain stacking and charging external devices, because why on earth not?
Expect a “mid-forward punch and creamy harmonic saturation,” with the stompboxes hand-built by Acorn Amplifiers at its Atlanta, Georgia headquarters.
