USER MANUAL

Thank you for purchasing the Shiba Drive Reloaded™ pedal. Please take the time to read this manual to get the most out of your pedal.

The more you familiarize yourself with the features of this pedal, the more you will enjoy its benefits and maximize its potential.

OVERVIEW

Shiba Drive Reloaded is the result of countless hours of listening, testing, and tweaking our original overdrive circuit to create a pedal that is more amp-like, has a tighter

low-end, focused mids, and features more gain (50% more than our original Shiba). Shiba Drive Reloaded is the ideal choice for players seeking classic Blues, Jazz, and

Rock style tones. Shiba Drive Reloaded features an easy to tweak layout which includes Drive, Level, Tone and a three position Smooth switch.

CONTROLS

DRIVE: Controls the amount of drive from the circuit. This will take you from a

bluesy crunch to a smooth, sustaining overdrive.

LEVEL: Controls the output level of the pedal. Shiba Drive Reloaded provides

enough level to push the front end of any tube amp into natural clipping, or adds

sustain to an already overdriven amp.

TONE:!Shapes the the overall tonal response of the pedal - from warm and

smooth to bright and cutting.

SMOOTH SWITCH: (three position) Redesigned to be more apparent offering

flexibility, giving you the ability to fine tune your sound. Whether you prefer warm

violin-like solos or an open and defined full-bodied rhythm tone, Shiba Drive

Reloaded is your ideal overdrive pedal for a variety of playing styles.

Left - Activates a mild high-end roll off. Effective for warming up guitars with

single-coil pickups.

Middle - Voiced to produce a natural, open sounding overdrive."

Right - A more pronounced high-end roll off. Excellent for chunky rhythms and

violin-like lead tones.

Note: The modes have less effect at lower gain and tone settings
