SELECT The V-Drive’s 11-position Select switch provides ten different clipping diode configurations plus a diode-bypass clean-boost mode. Clipping diodes are the heart of soul of nearly every classic overdrive pedal design, and the type and configuration of these diodes defines the overdrive texture and dynamic response character.
DEPTH The V-Drive’s unique 11-position Depth switch fine-tunes the low-end response to perfectly voice the overdrive depth to suit a wide range of guitars, pickups, and musical styles. Unlike typical bass controls (that boost or cut at a single fixed frequency), the V-Drive’s Depth switch provides eleven different low-frequency roll-off points; turning the Depth switch clockwise lowers the low-frequency roll-off point.
DRIVE The Drive control adjusts the signal level that drives the clipping diodes, and thus the amount of clipping and the level of the clipping threshold. Working in conjunction with the Select and Texture controls, these three controls offer an incredibly wide range of overdrive choices. TONE The V-Drive’s Tone knob is voiced higher than most overdrive pedals. Unlike most overdrive pedals, it adjusts the treble content without altering the midrange.
VOLTAGE The V-Drive’s unique Voltage control utilizes a special voltagemultiplying integrated circuit to increase the pedal’s operating voltage for a tighter, punchier, crisper, quicker responding and more authoritative tone — ordinary 9-volt pedals can’t match this new level of dynamic response. Turning the Voltage control clockwise increases the V-Drive’s operating voltage. Turning the Voltage control counterclockwise decreases the voltage, providing a softer attack and more compliant feel.

Limited Warranty Information This pedal is warranted, to the original purchaser, to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of five (5) years, excluding input jacks, potentiometers, and footswitches, which are warranted for ninety (90) days from the original date of purchase. The manufacturer shall, at its option, either repair or replace the defective pedal if the pedal is returned to the original place of purchase.
