Safari Audio Gorilla Drive V2

Gorilla Drive V2 is a vintage-voiced distortion and saturation beast, built to add weight, grit and attitude without flattening whatever made your sound hit in the first place.

The headline act in V2 is the new Transient Shaper - one control that tips the balance between snap and body. Push it one way to sharpen the initial hit so your attack still cuts through, pull it the other way to shove weight and sustain forward.

Independent Lows and Highs stages take you from deep, warm thickness to crisp, cutting top end without reaching for an EQ, and Ape Mode throws the whole thing into the trees when the pedal needs to stop behaving.

From subtle analog-style warmth to thick, aggressive distortion, it stays easy to add character while keeping your dynamics exactly where you want them.

Great on drums, bass, guitars, synths, vocals and busses whenever things need a little more grit.
