TC Electronic has unveiled its new Zeus Drive overdrive pedal.

Control-wise, the Klon clone pedal boasts Volume and Treble knobs – with the latter allowing players to channel highs without cutting down too much on lows – and a dual concentric gain control which increases clipping and blends 'drive into the clean signal simultaneously.

Boasting two 1N34A Germanium diodes, the pedal also features a FAT switch, which – accordingly – fattens up the user's bass frequencies. 

Other features on the Zeus Drive include top-mounted jacks and a DIP switch that flicks between discreet buffered bypass and true bypass.

The TC Electronic Zeus Drive pedal is available now for $59.
