What It's Said About The Cinnamon Drive Effect Pedal
The tone king
Slather on Some Sweet and Savory Sixties and Seventies Sounds
“The Aclam Cinnamon Drive overdrive pedal, handmade in Barcelona, Spain, is a true hearkening back to those days of coily cords, big bell bottoms, and vinyl records.”
Music radar
Aclam shoots for “the ultimate riff machine” with Cinnamon Drive pedal
“Barcelona’s Aclam - famed for its Smart Track modular pedalboards - has introduced its first pedal, the Cinnamon Drive, which it has designed to be “the ultimate riff machine”
Editor’s pick award
"[...] The pedal proved to be one of the most dynamic and realistically “tubey” overdrive...
units that I’ve played in quite some time. [...] With its touch-sensitive and authentic-sounding means of achieving tube-toned overdrive, the Cinnamon Drive is impressive enough to earn an Editors’ Pick Award.”
The lifestyle section
"The new Cinnamon Drive is essentially two pedals in one.
“The new Cinnamon Drive will make toast of some of the other drive pedals currently on the market and the dual drives are very tasty.”
Cinnamon Drive Features
Dual stage clipping circuits
The first stage of this boutique overdrive pedal uses a custom soft clipping circuit voiced to cover clean to mid-gain overdrive. The dual overdrive pedal second stage builds upon the first stage and stacks a hard-clipping circuit to add gain and tightness.
Highest versatility with the fewest controls possible
Dial in two totally different overdrive tones with independent volume controls, a true dual overdrive pedal experience.
A lot of dynamics and a natural tone
Both stages share the same passive tone control, retaining bottom end and mid-range while softening high frequencies. Highest headroom and dynamic range due to its power supply circuit to increase internal voltage.
True bypass relay switching
With this boutique overdrive pedal you’ll never get any signal interruption even if your power supply or battery fails. Intelligent true bypass relay switching system which constantly monitors voltage supply (both battery or DC Jack input) and switches itself to true bypass when it detects a drastic drop in voltage.
Easy pedalboard setup
Custom enclosure designed to match Smart Track® pedalboards. This dual overdrive pedal also comes with a super-strong Velcro® pad for standard pedalboards.
