The MXR Sugar Drive is based on a rare and beloved circuit from the 90s and has been packed into a pedalboard-friendly mini chassis to provide you with a wide range of guitar tones from driving boost to lush overdrive.

The Sugar Drive has a simple interface with only 3 controls – Tone, Drive and Volume making it a breath of fresh air in a time where pedals seem to be built chock-full of knobs and buttons.

The drive knobs doesn't simply increase the pedals intensity but instead grabs your clean, unaffected dry signal and blends it with overdrive as you turn the knob.

You've also got the option of running the pedal in buffered-bypass or true bypass mode depending on how you like the rest of your signal to look.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
