DRV - Blackout

The 1981 Inventions DRV is an analog distortion effects pedal designed for signal overdrive and preamp boost. Housed in a steel enclosure, it features carefully selected components, including Switchcraft 11 open frame jacks and a soft-touch relay-based bypass switching system. The pedal operates two distinct circuits—one for distortion and one for clean boost—running internally at 18V for increased headroom. Developed in collaboration with Jon Ashley of Bondi Effects, the DRV provides a tonal range from subtle drive to saturated distortion. **Key Features:** - Analog distortion effects pedal with integrated preamp boost - Internal voltage regulator for 18V operation from standard 9V input - Soft-touch relay true bypass switching - Switchcraft open frame audio jacks for reliable connectivity - Designed with high-grade components for durability and sound quality - Standard mono input and output; not specified as stereo or bass compatible Search terms: distortion effects pedal, analog overdrive pedal, preamp boost, true bypass, 1981 Inventions effects pedal.
