Shnobel Tone has put its Daily Driver Overdrive and Dumbbell Boost circuits into a single pedal, the Dumbbell Driver, Guitar Journal reported on February 24, 2026. The maker states the two circuits are identical to those in its standalone pedals¹².

The left side carries the Daily Driver overdrive, with Volume, Gain, High and Low EQ knobs and a three-position Hi Cut toggle offering two high-cut settings and a flat center position². The right side carries the Dumbbell Boost, with an Input knob that adjusts input impedance and a Level knob for output². Each side has its own true-bypass footswitch, and a two-position Order toggle sets which circuit feeds the other: Boost into Overdrive, or Overdrive into Boost².

The enclosure has top-mounted power and input/output jacks and is hand-built with through-hole components, according to the maker². Shnobel Tone sells the pedal direct for $329²³. Guitar Pedal X, writing on January 23, 2026, described the Dumbbell Boost as a new enhanced, Dumble-textured circuit that replaces the conventional boost of the earlier Daily Driver Boost, and noted the two-knob Dumbbell Boost is also sold separately³.
