Blackstar LT-Drive

I use this drive mostly at home, sometimes with a band in our jam place. Packs a lot of sound. At apartment probably hard for it to show it's full potential because volume levels is something have to think about but even on lower volumes makes a great significance on sound. Mostly I use it for enhancing low distortion and bluesy sound to make my guitar sound more chunky, adds gain also nicely.
Easy to use, the housing is very sturdy.
Overall, good budget drive that will probably last you a lifetime

Have used through my solid state practice amp and my 50 watt tube head (jet ciry jca50 through marshall 4x12 90's compact cab)

Close to the boss sd-1, but not as good sounding in my opinion. It sounds decent , has more drive than i expected, but seems a little run of the mill sounding, and has less character than an SD-1, , but its a decent od, i could see many peeps getting exactly what they need out of it sound wise.

Its made pretty well, feels quite heavy, seems to have a buffer (not true bypass) preferred it using humbuckers rather than single coils, but good sounds on both with gain at noon, tone between 2 and 4 oclock

for the money its a great buy, maybe a better choice for peeps with solid state amps, than a classic tube screamer, but peeps with valve amps would be better off going for a ts clone, (EHX? Joyo?) or a boss sd-1, but solid state users will get this better i think, as its a bit more of an "amp in the box" sound, although it could be used well on both platforms, good budget option if you want overdrive end of the day.
