Echoline Pedals Everest Drive * Pete Cornish SS-2 Klon * Noel Gallagher David Gilmour

The overdrive sound of Noel Gallagher (Oasis) or David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) in a single pedal. The Everest Drive is an extremely precise, handcrafted in England clone of the legendary Pete Cornish SS-2 Soft Sustain (2003 specification).

What makes it special: The developer reverse-engineered an original Cornish unit for this pedal—one that comes from the exact same batch as the pedal on Noel Gallagher’s board (just two serial numbers apart).

The Everest Drive delivers an extremely wide gain spectrum. With the gain turned down, it functions as a fantastic, fat clean boost with enormous headroom. Turn it up further, and it transitions from dynamic indie-rock crunch to singing, harmonic sustain.

The fundamental character of the amp and guitar remains completely intact. The pedal responds very sensitively to the volume knob and playing dynamics. And unlike many other overdrives, no bass is lost here—the sound always remains powerful and three-dimensional.
