I've owned 4 (currently a mini deluxe and a sweet purple non deluxe).
Nice. I've owned two non deluxes ( one blue, one red), two non mini deluxes (both blue), and also the mini deluxe (which is the only one I own now). When I had two boards I had to have a screwdriver on both!
I tried a HFD and put them side by side. The Screwdriver was more compressed and raunchy. While the HFD was clearer and brighter. Thought the HFD would replace it but preferred the SD by far and kept it.
From what I've read, the Major is the closestI kept thinking it was gonna be re-done as a "Precision Series", but he's leaving it the same? Huh.
Hmm. That actually sounds really intriguing. Into a dead clean amp, I love the screwdriver and its touch sensitivity. Which do you prefer for cleanup ability?Nice.

One of the best drives. Period. Love mineGood to know, I've always wanted to try one of these
I am excited to see these in production, but now I am in a quandary. I was just about to pull the trigger (at long last) on a Lovepedal Amp 11 when I saw the Screwdriver was coming back into production. Anyone who has owned both have any input on how they compare to each other (acknowledging that they are fairly different beasts)?This is a fantastic pedal. Highly recommended. Probably one of my personal favorite overdrive pedals. Interesting that Marc notes Fender/Tweed qualities in the description. I've never thought of it that way and my ears don't hear it, FWIW.
here's a mild-mannered little improv with my old big-box skreddy screwdriver deluxe;
the pedal is always on, and my amp is kept about 97% clean.
