The Anthem Dual Drive (White) is an analog overdrive pedal from Missing Link Audio, a maker with a catalog of Southern rock and British-amp-flavored drives such as the Peacock Overdrive Fillmore Edition and the AC/OD. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as a versatile overdrive that pays tribute to the classic Southern rock guitar tones of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and says its dynamic, touch-sensitive response to playing dynamics allows a range from warm gritty overdrive to clean biting sustain and fat warm tones with plenty of articulation1. For a wider look at where it sits, see the site's Overdrive Pedals page.
The controls
The pedal keeps a simple four-knob layout with one voicing switch, so it is quick to dial in on a board1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Gain | Sets the amount of overdrive |
| Tone | Shapes the treble response |
| Voice | Three-position toggle selecting between different voicing options named for guitarist styles and tonal characters |
| Master Volume | Sets the pedal's output level |
The Voice switch is the pedal's distinguishing control: rather than a single fixed voicing, the three positions let one pedal cover several takes on the Southern rock overdrive sound the maker is aiming at1.
Power
The Anthem Dual Drive runs on 9V DC, center negative, the common standard for pedalboard supplies1.
