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.
The V-Drive’s Select switch replicates the diode type and configuration of the most popular overdrive pedals from the ‘80s and ‘90s as well as some of today’s most sought-after boutique designs. Contributing to the advancement of the overdrive art, the V-Drive also offers several new diode types and configurations for some fresh tones for the future.
Different clipping diode configurations will clip at different signal levels; the V-Drive’s clipping diode combinations are arranged so the clipping threshold level increases as you turn the Select switch clockwise. Turning the Select switch fully clockwise engages the diode-bypass mode; in this position, the V-Drive functions as a clean boost pedal. The V-Drive’s op amp will
begin to clip as you increase the Drive control setting, this provides an additional range of overdrive options.
