DRV2 BLACKOUT

IN CLASSIC DRV2 CIRCUIT w/ LED CLIPPING

Ships in 1-2 weeks

DRV2 is the new standard enclosure and circuit! This is the first time ever offering it in blackout. 

The black powder coating is slightly textured, and is extremely durable. The other notable change is that the logo will be slightly raised, which I think is a nice effect. More raised than I have ever done! Get ready for it lol

w/ long pointer black knobs

LED CLIPPING is my current favorite DRV iteration. Using white LEDs for this run, which is also my favorite sound. Can make it standard clipping if you prefer!

Here's the rundown on the differences in LED CLIPPING

• cleaner at zero gain, also more firm
• louder, more output, less compression
• incredible clarity on complex chords 
• less gain throughout, but still plenty, and very aggressive

This is a high quality and unique distortion pedal in sound and design. To me, this circuit really shines in the lower gain stages, and has a lot of clarity and character. One of my favorite sounds is zero gain, barely clipping clean, but I also love the middle range of the gain knob, all the way up to nearly fuzz! Sounds cool to open the CUT knob all the way!

I worked on this V2 circuit of DRV for more than a year now, and I finally got it right. Instead of trying to exactly copy the original circuit, I decided to make some changes. I've been using this version personally with my band, and I love it. 

I've had some genius help with this circuit. Originally engineered and designed by Jon Ashley of Bondi Effect, it has been redesigned and engineered by John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments (who also did the LVL circuit). Both are friends and geniuses. I see this version as an improvement in every way. It's quieter (less noise), more efficient, and can also run at 9v or 18v. 

Internal switch to select true-bypass (almost always worse, but sometimes better!)

These pedals (from this batch) will be hand assembled by Jack, AWOL, and I, in Nashville, TN.

Runs on 9v standard (boss style) power. Battery clip or power supply is not included. An isolated power supply is recommended.
