Umbrella Company / Hitchhike Drive

Hitchhike Drive is an overdrive/preamp that produces a vintage tweed amp-like sound. In addition to three amp types, it is equipped with a Saturate switch that reproduces the characteristic saturation feeling of a vacuum tube amp. It uses an active EQ to achieve a high degree of freedom in sound making.
