As 1981 Inventions' premier creation, the DRV is an impressive pedal.

Tonally and aesthetically, the DRV sets itself apart from the pack fairly quickly. Its signal-warming and breakup-inducing capabilities separate it from your everyday drive pedal. Two internal circuits – a distortion and a preamp boost – combine to make for an incredibly nuanced and flexible drive unit. The DRV is highly interactive with its three dials. Its VOL and DRV knobs intuitively control the level and gain of the effect. The pedal's CUT knob rolls off the highs in the signal as it is ramped up, so the DRV's bluesy tones and borderline fuzziness come to life.

With straightforward overdrive crunch and colorful preamp boost saturation aplenty in this pedal, the DRV is exceptionally versatile for a variety of playing styles and rig setups. Roll back on the DRV control to access smooth, warm low-gain territories to build upon with other preamps or dirt pedals or crank DRV to flirt with its high-gain side. CUT's accuracy in striking tonal sweet spots is remarkable. Letting the DRV live on its own on your board or incorporating it with other effects makes something beautifully symbiotic where the DRV blooms in even more interesting fashions.

1981 Inventions' MVP of an overdrive is sure to find a spot among your board to let your own musicality shine.
