Review Ibanez CD5 Cyberdrive
 
 
 

Review by humbuck on 7.7.2004




Local guitar shop, ?35 secondhand

 
 
  Features  
 
Inulls a tough pedal, it sounds good, not really heavey distortion, but enough for most things - I boost it a bit by using a little of my ampnulls onboard distortion.

It has a little reverb, hence the name cyberdrive. The high notes ring a bit, I love this pedal

It has three nobs; output level, tone, distortin level. (Output enables you to set the distortion sound level so when you bypass the clean sounds just as loud)
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
Inulld say that if you are upgrading from using on-board distortion this is the way to go - it sounds more than distortion, and the sound is quite "brown" meaning itnulls good for classic metal
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Itnulls nice sounding pedal. It dose generate noise because it uses op.amp circuitry, and the noise is quite noticeable when not playing.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
Itnulls a little trickt to set up to get the sound you want, but itnulls so good once you do itnulls worth it.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
Inullm definately going to keep using this pedal - itnulls so cool. It works well with a delay or phaser, but it sounds interesting enough on itnulls own.
