Smooth and articulate

I wanted to let you know I received the Sahana Drive and had a chance to play with it for a few days and I just want to say thank you for making such an awesome pedal! It is really smooth and articulate.

The tone palette is awesome.

I like this pedal a lot.! Got to throw it on board and now the Zendrive takes a break. I love the harmonic structure on the back end and the tone palette is awesome. Thank you!

A Lifetime Experimenting

SAHANA DRIVE! I've spent a lifetime experimenting with various overdrive pedals, and I can confidently say that I've tried almost all of them. It's challenging to imagine achieving the unique voicings and tones I have uncovered without this pedal on my board, as it has become a permanent fixture. At the moment, I have two Sahana Drives, and I cherish how they complement each other individually or when stacked gracefully into one another. I've yet to find an alternative pedal it does not pair with as well. Simply a must for your tonal palette!

My go-to overdrive.

I love my Sahana Drive! It has become my go-to overdrive the last few years and is now a fixture on every pedal board iteration I put together. Pairs perfectly with my Pearl!

Thanks again.

I wanted to reach out and say thank you again for the awesome Sahana Pedal. I love the clarity it has and the gain is perfect: never close to saturated and has the right amount of attack (without a plinking tone), while allowing harmonics to ring out when needed. I pair it with my lead channel for a bit of over saturation for a solo or maybe some “machinehead” by bush distortion. I don’t even bother with my Tube Screamers; they’ll be coming out of the lineup tonight. I picked up a nano fuzz from Electroharmnoix and can definitely tell how one can achieve desired metal/over saturated progressive tones with a clean channel + pedal.

It's In The Details

Making a Port City Amp is like making a Swiss Watch. It takes craftsmanship. It's not a lost art, we practice it every time for every client right here outside of Asheville, N.C.
