DRV - White
Overdrive / Distortion
Listing Description
The 1981 Inventions DRV is a dual-circuit distortion and preamp boost effects pedal built in a steel enclosure. Designed for players seeking analog overdrive and distortion, the DRV runs at 18V internally for increased headroom. It uses a soft-touch relay-based true bypass switching system and Switchcraft 11 open-frame input and output jacks. All core controls allow for a range from subtle low-gain boost to saturated distortion. The pedal’s circuit topology provides midrange emphasis and tonal warmth, while remaining quiet during operation. The DRV is compatible with standard instrument signals.
