1981 Inventions DRV Overdrive Pedal
1981 Inventions DRV Overdrive Pedal
The DRV Overdrive Pedal from 1981 Inventions is a highly dynamic overdrive and distortion pedal designed around clarity, articulation and a responsive playing feel. Rather than behaving like a traditional high-gain distortion pedal, the DRV is capable of moving smoothly from lightly clipped boost-like sounds to crunchy overdrive, dense distortion and more aggressive saturated textures while maintaining strong note definition.
Its Gain control determines the amount of drive and compression, while Volume provides enough output to push the front end of an amplifier or balance the pedal with the rest of a rig. The Cut control shapes the upper frequencies, allowing brighter guitars and amplifiers to be smoothed out or darker rigs to retain additional presence.
The DRV responds particularly well to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes, making it possible to move between cleaner and more driven sounds without changing pedal settings. Its articulate character also makes it well suited for complex chords, low tunings and stacked gain setups where maintaining definition is important.
