Tech 21 Introduces the Double Drive Distortion Pedal
January 26, 2002
Tech 21's Double Drive distortion pedal offers two different types of distortion. Each is
based on the power amp output stage of specific tube amplifiers: Drive A yields a "Class A"
distortion, rich in even harmonics and Drive A/B provides a "Class A/B" distortion, which is rich in
odd harmonics. The Drive controls can be used individually or together for a cascading effect.
Setting both Drives at minimum provides a clean boost up to 10dB via the Level control.
Other features include a very musical Tone control that actually shifts the center frequency of the
high cut from 10kH to 1kH (maintaining the mid-range without getting muddy), a 1megOhm high
impedance 1/4" input (same as traditional tube amps use), a 1kOhm low impedance 1/4" output (drives
long cables without loss of signal integrity), and a smooth, silent-switching custom actuator.
Operable with a 9V alkaline battery (not included) or optional power supply (Tech 21 Model #DC2).
MSRP: $125.00
