Carl Martin DC Drive Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

The Carl Martin DC Drive pedal has a few tricks up its sleeve. Besides the typical Level, Tone, and Drive knobs that control the signal volume, the tone, and the amount of overdrive, Carl has smartly added a clean boost after the drive section, and a Regular/Fat switch. In Regular mode, the drive is crisp and clear, suitable for anything that calls for old-school drive—switch over to Fat and the drive gets thicker with a lot more gain, bringing out a more modern sound. The result is a multi-use guitar pedal that allows you to have a variety of rhythm and solo volumes at your feet.

The Bypass footswitch engages or bypasses the DC Drive pedal—turning it on or off. The red LED lights when the pedal is engaged. When the red LED is on, the Drive knob regulates the amount of gain (overdrive) you want to use—from almost clean turned full left, to high gain turned full right.
