Blues to the Core!

All-time favorite tube-screamer circuit comes with more features and additional dial-up options. Drive Core Deluxe is an analog overdrive pedal which can carry your signal in 3 different ways for your essential needs. You can use the pedal as a Clean Boost or Overdrive or you can Mix up  the clean signals with tube heated drive sound. The Tone knob gives the  last shape to your signal and controls the balance between low-and-high  frequencies.

Be sure to check our Demo Video tab to hear the Drive Core in action!

3 Way Toggle-Switch

If you’re going to have separate Clean / Overdrive Tweak Knobs you  need an easy way to mix them together quickly!  We were the pioneers of  the 3-Way Toggle Switch, which means we had a whole lot more time than  our competitors to fully maximize this feature. ​

3 POSITIONS:

Top Position: CLEAN BOOST

This activates the Clean Boost Knob which controls your clean  gain. You can also bring your Volume up or down with the Level Knob (0db  to 20db). No need to adjust the Tone; we set this at: “As Clean as it Gets!”  so the Tone Knob is inactive in this mode.

Bottom Position: DRIVE

Activates the Drive Boost Knob.  You can also bring your Volume up or  down with the Level Knob ( 0db to 20db ), and you can dial-in your Tone  Knob for the Drive Tone ( EQ frequencies ) of your choice .

Middle Position: MIX

Allows you to adjust the blend of both the Clean & Drive simultaneously.

Drive Mode Knob

The Dynamic Drive Knob is also a Push Knob, which controls the drive  gain parameters. Crank your sound from low-gain to high-gain, and feel  your tube-heated settings in turbo-charged mode.

True Bypass

Use as a stand-alone or combine with any other gear. True Bypass lets  you activate, or truly de-activate Drive Core Deluxe without  interfering with other effects in the chain.
