Overdrive / Distortion
Listing Description
The 1981 Inventions DRV is a drive and distortion effects pedal designed with an emphasis on component quality, reliability, and versatile sound shaping. This analog drive pedal operates with two distinct circuits—a distortion section and a preamp boost—powered internally at 18V for increased headroom. The DRV features a steel enclosure, equipped with Switchcraft 11 open-frame jacks, and utilizes a quiet, soft-touch relay-based true bypass switching system. The control interface provides detailed adjustment over gain structure, offering a wide range of tones from clean boost to saturated distortion.
