DRV (STRANGER) MOD 2

DRV (STRANGER) MOD 2

I felt like this graphic calls for a new sound. I've only made about 10 of this type of circuit so far. I really love this one and hope to do it more in the future!

These units use an entirely new circuit variation of the DRV that uses a larger input cap (for more low end), and a hybrid clipping section using two different "secret" diodes. Just kidding, they aren't secret, but it does sound very good. It's huge, warm, and also the most aggressive circuit that I've ever done.

It DOOMS etc, but is also a very nice sound at low gain!

I'd put this somewhere between a standard circuit and the bass mod. This will sound good on bass or guitar, but will have sort of a middle ground low-end frequency pass through. 

The modified DRV circuit sounds much more aggressive than anything I've ever done. Tons of low end thump. It actually gets cleaner than a standard DRV at the lowest gain settings, and gets more and more aggressive the more you turn up the gain. It is really very cool. 

This is a high quality and unique distortion pedal in sound and design. To me, this circuit really shines in the lower gain stages, and has a lot of clarity and character. One of my favorite sounds is zero gain, barely clipping clean, but I also love the middle range of the gain knob, all the way up to nearly fuzz! Sounds cool to open the CUT knob all the way!

I've had some genius help with this circuit. Originally engineered and designed by Jon Ashley of Bondi Effect, it has been redesigned and engineered by John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments (who also did the LVL circuit). Both are friends and geniuses. I see this version as an improvement in every way. It's quieter (less noise), more efficient, and can also run at 9v or 18v. 

Internal switch to select true-bypass (almost always worse, but sometimes better!)

These pedals (from this batch) will be hand assembled by Jack, AWOL, and I, in Nashville, TN.

Runs on 9v standard (boss style) power. Battery clip or power supply is not included. An isolated power supply is recommended.
