About this block
Six Classic Overdrive Voices in One Block
Prime Drive gathers six classic overdrive circuits into a single Anagram block, covering mid-focused drive, clean boost, tight rhythm enhancement, and hotter saturation — all without swapping blocks or rebuilding your chain.
The collection includes two TS-808-inspired voices, two TS-7 variations, a MESA/Boogie Grid Slammer-inspired circuit, and a BOSS Super OverDrive-inspired circuit. The TS-808 Lower Drive mod extends the classic topology toward cleaner operation, while the TS-7 Hot and TS-7 Mod variants offer alternative gain structures. On bass these are the classic gain-staging tools: place one in front of an amplifier model to tighten the low end before the preamp, or reach for the Super OverDrive-inspired voice for the asymmetric grind that has been a bass staple for decades.
Every circuit is modeled with Mercuriall's State-Spice analog circuit simulation technology. The input level is calibrated to Anagram's input sensitivity and the output level to Mercuriall's amplifier models — Bright-800, SUN-100, and Ubersonic — so real-world gain staging between guitar, pedal, and amp is preserved and the Level control behaves naturally whether you are boosting or matching the dry signal.
