Classic British Stack Tone in a Compact Pedal

The Xotic SL Drive delivers the legendary sound of cranked British tube amplifiers in an incredibly compact, pedalboard-friendly enclosure. Inspired by the iconic Marshall Super Lead and Super Bass amplifiers, the SL Drive captures the rich harmonics, dynamic response, and aggressive crunch that helped define classic rock guitar tones.

From warm, vintage-inspired breakup to thick, saturated distortion, the SL Drive offers an impressive range of sounds with excellent clarity and touch sensitivity. Its responsive gain structure cleans up beautifully with your guitar's volume control, making it a great choice for everything from blues and classic rock to heavier, high-gain applications.

One of the SL Drive's standout features is its internal DIP switches, which allow you to select between Super Lead and Super Bass-inspired voicings. These settings provide additional flexibility, letting you dial in brighter, more aggressive rock tones or warmer, fuller sounds with enhanced low-end response.

The simple three-knob layout makes it easy to shape your sound, while the pedal's compact size makes it an excellent addition to even the most crowded pedalboards.

With its amp-like feel, rich harmonics, and classic British character, the Xotic SL Drive is a fantastic choice for players looking for authentic vintage stack tones without the volume of a cranked tube amplifier.
