The Larry Alan Infinity Driver is an overdrive pedal with a built-in boost circuit, made by Larry Alan Guitars of Lansing, Michigan. Premier Guitar's reviewer summed it up as "an overdrive of, well, almost infinite potential," and credited its flexibility to "the pedal's simple, smart layout and the inclusion of a boost circuit"1. If you are comparing it with single-function drives, the second footswitch and boost put it closer to a two-in-one box than a plain overdrive or boost pedal.
Controls and footswitches
The layout is deliberately simple. There are three big, black knobs for drive, tone, and level, and two stomp switches with dedicated LEDs for the overdrive and boost functions1. That means you can bring the boost in on its own for a volume lift, or stack it with the drive side, without bending down to reach a secondary switch.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Drive | Sets the amount of overdrive1 |
| Tone | Shapes the pedal's treble response1 |
| Level | Sets the output level1 |
| Footswitch 1 | Engages the overdrive, with its own LED1 |
| Footswitch 2 | Engages the boost, with its own LED1 |
Sound and clipping
On the clipping side, the pedal uses a germanium diode in the clipping stage, which the reviewer said "adds a whole range of color to the pedal's sound"1. Germanium clipping is a choice players often associate with softer, more colored overdrive character compared with other diode types.
Premier Guitar's reviewer also flagged the higher-gain side of the pedal: "A nice feature of the Infinity's higher-gain voice is that it's virtually free of the grainy harshness that can plague high-gain pedals at lower levels"1. The review's pros column lists a "wide range of overdrive tones," and the reviewer described the pedal as emphasizing "versatility and the ability to play nice with myriad amps and guitars"1.
Enclosure and review setup
The Infinity Driver is built in a Hammond 1590BB-sized enclosure, so it takes up a little more room on a board than a Boss or MXR pedal1. Premier Guitar's reviewer checked it out through a Fender Concert 2x10 with Eminence speakers, playing a G&L Comanche and an Epiphone Sheraton with Tom Holmes PAFs1, which gives a sense of the amps and guitars it was judged against.
Price
Premier Guitar's review lists a street price of $2001.
