Breathing overdriven life into your signal in full 3D and technicolor, the Empress Effects Drive Analog Overdrive is a masterful work in analog drives. This all-analog effect from Empress follows in a lineage of airtight drives designed with tone, precision, and performance as paramount priorities. As an Empress pedal to swing with the best and most versatile of modern overdrive effects, the Empress Drive is a marvelously powerful and flexible drive to fire up your whole rig.

The Empress Drive is an all-analog creation centered around authentic, tube-like analog overdrive architecture designed for natural compression, response, and dynamics. Starting off simply with a honest, charming drive tone emulating the expression and playing response of your favorite tube amplifiers, the pedal's harmonic structure allows for a vast, versatile, and inspiring tonal spectrum that covers bases of edge-of-breakup drive, thick, tube-like crunch, to all the way up and past blown-out distorted saturation. These zones are monitored and communicated in real time by a front-facing, real-time clipping meter, giving you the accurate and tangible response to recreate your favorite tones time and time again.

All this talk of the Empress Drive's natural, analog overdrive structure and we haven't even gotten to all the classic Empress bells and whistles that put it over the top. For one, the Empress Drive features an incredibly deep EQ shaping experience that stands head and shoulders above your average analog drive. Three-band EQ shaping build up in addition to a Mid Freq shift control allows for deep pre-overdrive EQ shaping. This control scheme allows for both EQ sculpting and effect coloring as you find your exact EQ balance to shine brightest.

From here, the Empress Drive builds up with a number of ultra-modern features to elevate the whole experience. Structurally, the Empress Drive includes an onboard clean boost that breathes up to thirty decibels before or after the overdrive stage for added saturation or a volume lift. While you're routing your clean boost one way or the other, the Empress Drive offers a clean mix control that precisely mixes in the clarity and articulation of your unaffected signal. Things are kept all the more clean with an onboard adaptive noise gate that melds on close quarters to preserve sustain and touch sensitivity. Buffered bypass footswitching keeps the whole experience clean and airtight while standard nine-volt DC center negative power at 250mA minimum brings the Drive to life effortlessly.

For an enormously powerful and versatile drive, the Empress Drive reigns supreme as a musical device of breakneck modernity.

Great toy for two big German Shepherds
Color: Brown
We only buy Tuffy dog toys now because we have one German Shepherd, and we often watch our daughter's GSD too, and the two dogs tear anything else apart in minutes. Tuffy toys are BY FAR superior to any other dog toy we have tried. That being said, some Tuffy toys seem to last longer than others with the two dogs, and this one has been pretty good! We've had it for a few weeks now, and it's just now starting to show some white (stuffing) where their teeth have pierced the top of the toy. That's pretty good, considering they play tug of war with it and can tear into toys pretty hard. If it were just our one dog, I think it would last a lot longer because it's the tug of war between the two of them that does them in faster. Even so, when they do manage to tear the fabric in vulnerable places, I just pull the stuffing out from that area, and they continue to play with it, sometimes for months! This one is better than some other Tuffy toys too because it has lots of areas where there is already more fabric and reinforced seams than stuffing, like all the legs on the side, the tail, and even the pincers. So far, they haven't been able to tear into those at all. Just a bit on the top of the head, and so far, no stuffing coming out yet. This one is a big win for us! When they finally do do it in, I will turn around and buy another Scorch the Scorpion right away!

Tuffy Desert Phrog vs Lola
Color: Green Leaping Phrog, Color: Green Leaping Phrog
Just a little background about my dog. Lola is a 5 year old corgi-terrier mix with jaws of steal. Lesser stuffed toys have met death in under 5 minutes. Tennis balls last less than a day. Rope toys that do not have frayed ends might possibly last a week (frayed ends never stand a chance). The only toys that she has not managed to destroy are her Kong, a Kong bone, and a racquet ball. I figured I would document the life span of Phrog (Tuffy Scale: 9) before making my final judgement on it’s durability. Day 1 - Phrog Arrives! Lola was very excited about the arrival of Phrog and immediately went into destruction mode. Phrog did sustain a little damage before we were able to bribe her to drop Phrog and get her understand that he was more fun to play fetch with than to mutilate. The white you see in the picture is not stuffing, but the second layer of defense for the toy. The fact that my living room is not full of stuffing and I didn’t have to pry a squeaker out of my dog’s mouth, I’d say Phrog wins the Day 1 challenge. Day 9 - Phrog has sustained a little more damage, but not anything life threatening. His side wound is a little bit larger and one of his eyes is half ripped off. For safety reasons, I am going to finish removing the damaged eye and some loose thread from various places. Other than that, Phrog is still holding up and holds top toy spot. I have also found him very useful for dealing with anxiety; the squeaker can often distract her from her stressors and Phrog takes the abuse of her frustrations. Day 16 - Phrog is starting to show signs of mortal wounds. Lola has made it through the thicker layer around his arm and I can see the stuffing. It is only a matter of time before gets all the way through. Day 60 - Phrog still lives!!! I have done some surgery on Phrog to reinforce the fabric around his arms, but Franken-Phrog is still the favorite of all of the toys. She will even get brave enough to rescue Phrog from the evil vacuum when he is kidnapped and tortured. I am thinking about purchasing Phrog II for the inevitable day when Phrog goes off to the pet toyland in the sky, but for now, there is only one Phrog for Lola.

Long lasting play toy!
Color: Multicolor
Tuffy toys in general are great and they are a pretty good deal on Amazon. They are not indestructible, and if your dogs use them as chew toys they will eventually break through. My dogs have had this Armadillo since Christmas (and they do chew on it some) and the only thing missing is an ear. They like to play tug-of-war with it a lot. This is a bigger toy, but even my forty pound dog plays with it. I would not recommend this toy for dogs smaller than Border Collie size. You can make these Tuffy toys last longer if you don't allow your dogs to chew them--when your dogs starts chewing on non-chew toys trade them for a chew toy and when you catch your dog chewing on a chew-approved toy reward them for chewing. Eventually your dog will catch on and realize that if they want to chew there are certain toys that are allowed for that. In addition to being a great play toy this is a pretty cute toy too!

Not Tuff
Color: Black Yellow Phrog, Color: Black Yellow Phrog
Absolutely terrible and not “tuff” at all. My chocolate lab had this thing destroyed in less than two hours. I would not recommend these for the price.
