THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE DRIVE
- ANALOG BOOST/OVERDRIVE PEDAL FROM EBS!
THE DRIVE is developed by EBS with input from several Swedish top
session guitarists. The Drive gives you that extra boost you need to
emphasize your tone and make it stand out. The kind of device you
might leave on without thinking about it, but miss dearly when you
turn it of f.
Can I use it with bass too? The Drive helps boost your bass tone
when engaged. Use the Drive knob to control how much you’d like
it to break up. Crank it up to bring out some nice vintage style bass
tones from your amp or keep it subtle if you prefer a cleaner boost.
