The Pineapple Drive is a versatile drive pedal designed to recreate the classic “Brown sound” tone associated with Eddie Van Halen. It features two separate gain structures, a powerful mid contour control, and a tone control to squeeze out every ounce of tone from your guitar. It also includes a booster switch and a bright switch for added versatility. The four control knobs are Gain, Volume, Tone, and Contour. The Gain knob controls the amount of gain going from the first cascade stages to the second one. The Volume knob controls the overall output of the effect. The Tone knob controls the tone response of the with the center point (12:00) being flat. When turned to the left, it adds bass, and when turned to the right, it boosts treble. The Contour knob acts as a Mids control, from scooped to the left, flat at 12:00, and boosted to the right. In addition to the four control knobs, the project features two toggles. The Bright toggle enables/disables the C14 6.8nf capacitor after the tone knob. The Boost toggle engages R3 and R9 from the first and second cascade stage to ground in order to act as a gain boost. The Pineapple Drive is a great choice for guitarists looking to recreate the classic “Brown sound” tone, as well as those looking for a versatile drive pedal with a wide range of tonal possibilities.
