Durham Electronics is a small pedal company based in Austin, Texas. They originally began building pedals for Charlie Sexton, the Grammy-award winning producer and musician. Their goal was to create pedals that sounded great and had all the tone Sexton needed without being huge and unwieldy. While their catalog of pedals may be fairly small, each and every pedal created by Durham Electronics is designed with the player in mind.
The Crazy Horse pedal is one of the most versatile fuzz/distortion pedals you’ll find. It features controls for drive, fuzz, tone, volts, and level, plus it has true bypass and is completely hand built and wired.
The Sex Drive pedal was designed to provide nothing but clean boost while still providing some extra sustain and bottom end. This pedal’s boost doesn’t affect the amp’s natural tone at all, nor does it add any of that nasal-like tone that some clean boost pedals cause.
The Mucho Boosto pedal is based on the same circuit used in the Sex Drive, but it features a more active tone control. It has both thin and fat controls and can create an amazing compressed overdriven sound. The Mucho Boosto is now available in a smaller version that provides more level and gain.
Finally, the Zia Drive is a low compression overdrive that is great for anyone looking to capture the sounds of the early 70s or who wants a perfect rhythm guitar box. It’s not a true bypass pedal, but the sound isn’t affected in any way while it’s in bypass mode.
