DRV - Clay

The 1981 Inventions DRV - Clay is an analog distortion and preamp boost effects pedal, built in a steel enclosure and designed for versatile tonal shaping. This 1981 Inventions effects pedal features independent distortion and preamp boost circuits, powered internally at 18V for increased headroom. Controls for level, drive, and cut allow detailed adjustment from transparent boost to saturated distortion. The pedal uses Switchcraft 11 open frame jacks and a quiet soft touch relay-based true bypass switching system. DRV - Clay operates with standard 9V power input, regulated internally to 18V, and is assembled using high-quality components for reliable performance. The circuit is engineered in collaboration with Jon Ashley (Bondi Effects). This pedal is compatible with both guitar and bass instruments. **Features:** - Analog distortion and preamp boost pedal - Internal 18V regulation for higher headroom - True bypass with soft touch relay switching - Level, drive, and cut tone controls - Steel enclosure and Switchcraft 11 open frame jacks - Compatible with bass instruments
