Empress Drive?

Empress makes killer stuff and I have a hard time believing it sounds that bad. I can't find much making it sound better without clicking on the 30 min shill videos though 🤷‍♂️. There's one at my local L&M. I'm going to pick up some strings today, I'll see if they're willing to turn it into demo stock.
 
Has anyone tried this pedal? It looks like it has some useful features, but the "employee demo" posted here (link below) sounds like buzzards fucking.

That was impressively terrible sounding.

There is zero chance I would take a shot on that. I would have to play it in person and be amazed that it sounds nothing at all like the demo for it to have a chance. As a cheap fuzz pedal laying around? All day. As a $300 OD? Nah.

Well, it's in front of a Fender amp. I think the real test would be boosting something a little bigger and dirtier.

Believe it or not, the Wampler Equator has a ton of boost for being an EQ. I like that pedal. Not exactly the same, but lots of tone shaping.

The Heavy Menace is cool, so is the Heavy. I bet the Drive is cool. I don't give two shits about demos/clips, gotta try it for yourself, that goes for anything gear related.

Rising Farce, Apologies for reaching out in this fashion but I saw your listing for the AV90's by Avatar speakers you have but I didn't want to make 50 posts just to message you. Hope we can communicate somehow so I can purchase those from you, thanks!

I would also say that if something doesn't work out for whatever reason - Avatar sells them for around $87 right now (on sale - not always that price).
