The Union Tube & Transistor NeverMORE is an analog booster overdrive pedal: a single box that covers everything from a clean level lift to a saturating drive for pushing a tube amp into breakup. The maker describes it as a pedal that "allows you to use this pedal as an always on sweetener, a punchy boost, or as a saturating drive for breaking up tube amplifiers"1. It sits in the broad family of overdrive pedals and boost pedals, and players who want more saturation on tap can compare it with distortion pedals.
Two settings and bypass
The NeverMORE's defining feature is that it holds two settings and bypass, rather than the single sound of a conventional drive pedal2. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes it as "The natural extension of our MORE and EverMORE. Two settings and bypass"2, placing it alongside the maker's earlier MORE and EverMORE designs. In practice that means a player can store, for example, a light always-on boost on one setting and a heavier saturating drive on the other, and switch between them from the same enclosure.
Two LEDs keep the pedal's state readable at a glance:
- A green LED indicates whether the pedal is on or off2
- A second LED indicates which knob will be active when the pedal is engaged2
The maker's shop lists the NeverMORE in Deluxe and Factory Second versions1.
Power and circuit
The NeverMORE is an analog circuit2 and runs on 9V DC, center negative2, the standard supply arrangement shared by most compact pedals, so it fits a normal pedalboard power setup. Players comparing it with digital or multi-effects options can see how it differs from multi-effects pedals, which model rather than process the signal directly.
Questions
Is the Union Tube & Transistor NeverMORE analog?
Yes. RockBoard's PedalPedia listing for the NeverMORE gives the circuit type as analog. That matters for players who build their board around an analog signal path, since the pedal's boost and overdrive stages process the guitar signal without digital conversion.
What power supply does the NeverMORE need?
The NeverMORE runs on a 9V DC supply with a center negative plug, the standard arrangement for most pedalboard power supplies and isolated power units. RockBoard's PedalPedia listing gives this specification for the pedal.
What do the two LEDs on the NeverMORE show?
The pedal has two LEDs with separate jobs. A green LED shows whether the pedal is on or off. A second LED indicates which knob will be active when the pedal is engaged, which is how the player tells the two stored settings apart at a glance.
What is the difference between the NeverMORE and the MORE?
RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the NeverMORE as the natural extension of Union Tube & Transistor's MORE and EverMORE pedals. Where those are single pedals, the NeverMORE holds two settings plus bypass, so a player can switch between two different amounts of boost or drive from one box.
