DIY supply specialist StewMac sell a wide variety of parts and kits. In this episode of PG Plays, our resident lab rat John Bohlinger takes a deep dive with the company’s Ghost Drive. It’s the most popular among StewMac’s pedal kit offerings, which include overdrives, fuzzes, boosts, modulation effects, and more. The Ghost Drive is inspired by the famed Klon Centaur, and uses 1N34A germanium diodes, like the original. It provides saturated tube tone at reasonable volumes, but can snarl, too. And it comes with detailed instructions so even beginners can build this pedal. Our man JB takes the Ghost Drive for a cruise with humbuckers and single-coils, and it's smooth (over)driving all the way.
