I have one, a newer version 2. It is an outstanding overdrive. The right blue side has a slight mid hump, and the left green side does not. The right blue side is smoother, and the left green side is grittier. Think stacking a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 into an OCD (or a Tube Screamer into a Rat). The JetDrive is VERY satisfying. With my Tele and the gain on both sides at about 2:00 each, it sounds like ZZ Top! Easy sustain, feedback, harmonics... Plus, you can control which side takes precedence by twiddling the knobs.

For reference, I have been through dozens of overdrives. I currently have and use a Kingsley Jester v.2, a Rockbox Boiling Point, a Mesa/Boogie V-Twin, a Fulltone Fulldrive 2 Mosfet, and a Fulltone Robin Trower Overdrive.

Check out Pete Thorn's video demo on the Jetter website.

I just got one yesterday, and it is an amazing OD, especially the blue channel, nevermind pushing both channels simultaneously.

very, very nice pedal...

This is the clip that sold me a couple of years ago.

Brad just converted mine to a V2 a few months ago - same sound, just gets more gain. You can also get these to do a nice clean boost by cranking the volume all the way up and the gain around 8:00 (ie adjust to volume). Works as well with my semi hollow bucker guitar as it does with my tele.

The Red2 is also great - The Red side is more compressed than the Jetdrive, but the shift switch expands the range quite a bit so it can go from really creamy sounding to more Marshallish.. The Helium side is very much like the blue side of the Jetdrive (at least to my ears) but has more volume.

Both of them sound amazing after my Lunar Module.
