This is a custom order through Tom Cram, the man behind these amazing pedals. Build like a tank it can be sweet or nasty but also in between. The diversity of this pedal goes beyond most currently available through Spiral FX. It is very dynamic and amp like. It plays well with others but it’s not really necessary as this is a great stand alone! It retains clarity even in the higher gain settings but it’s very responsive to volume and pickup selection. So each individual character of the guitar comes through.

The Red Spiral Drive Channel made the list of Best in 2020 by Stompbox Saturday.
The development of the Red Spiral Drive Channel has been a long road that started in 2016 after Christopher from SHOE Pedals and I collaborated on the DOD Looking Glass Drive. As is often the case with a pedal release, it leads you down new paths to new ideas. Very shortly after the Looking Glass release, we started talking about what would we thought would make a cool successor.
The Red Spiral Drive Channel is that successor.
The Red Spiral has three gain modes. The Low range is intended for clean boost, dynamic enhancement, and light drive. This is great for boosting an amp, other pedals, or "sweetening" your tone in a musical way. The Middle range specializes in lively "crunch" tones and moderate drive (great for a wide variety of styles), and the High range is capable of classic high gain tones. These are great for leads as well as chords reminiscent of hard rock, early metal, and shoegaze (naturally). All three modes are implemented in a hand-wired discrete signal path, with the mandatory touch sensitivity and amp-like character present in all of Christopher's overdrive designs. A powerful “Tone Pyramid” with High, Low, and a musical mid-emphasis Peak control interact with your guitar pickups, allowing you to match the pedal to your rig and dial in the tone you need.
