Heavily inspired by one of the most legendary equalizer units in history, the Origin Effects M-EQ Driver Mid Booster and Drive pedal is teeming with analog warmth and tube-style harmonic saturation. This transformer-equipped stompbox sports overdrive-standard Level and Drive controls — capable of everything from a slight rasp to roaring crunch tones. However, the real star of the show here is the 3-way KCS switch. What does it do? Well, after all, the M-EQ driver is a “Mid Booster,” but the KCS switch unlocks an even greater level of fine-tuning, allowing you to choose between three midrange frequencies to boost for enhanced sonic flexibility. Moreover, the Cut knob utilizes Origin Effects’ cutting-edge Adaptive Circuitry to reduce high-end roll-off when the M-EQ Driver cleans up. This feature is ideal for dynamic transitions between rich, warm overdrive and shimmering clean tones.
