DRV - Stranger Things

The 1981 Inventions DRV Stranger Things Edition is a distortion pedal designed to deliver a wide range of gain structures, from low-gain drive to high-gain distortion, utilizing a dual-circuit layout for both distortion and preamp boost. Housed in a custom steel enclosure, this effects pedal features quality hardware such as Switchcraft 11 open frame jacks and a quiet soft-touch relay-based true bypass switching system. The pedal operates at 18 volts internally via an on-board voltage regulator, supporting increased headroom. Controls allow for adjustment of drive, level, and tone parameters. The design is intended for versatile audio shaping, with specific attention to clarity, warmth, and midrange emphasis. **Key features:** - Analog distortion pedal with integrated preamp boost circuit - Steel enclosure with premium components for durability - Silent true bypass relay switching - Standard mono input and output (not stereo) - Operates internally at 18V via voltage regulation for greater headroom - Based on collaboration with Jon Ashley of Bondi Effects
