It can be used as an always on drive tone all the way to a mid boosting lead tone. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eOur take on the legendary K-style overdrive and the Black Box Bluesbreaker,\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e it features two independent overdrives, giving you two classic drive sounds favored by many guitarists in one enclosure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eOur inspiration for the ’83 Drive came from our enthusiasm for each of the two pedals used alone and by how amazing they sounded when stacked.\n\u003cp class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eBoth pedals have played an important part in the live guitar tones of John Mayer through the years, as the pre drive he stacks into his TS10 to obtain his lead tone. We decided for ’83 Drive as the number \"83\" is a significant number to JM. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eWe have recreated the circuits staying true to the originals, but made the BB circuit true bypass with additional switching options for tweaking. We also increased the headroom to 18 Volts and added an additional gain stage to increase the output. We have kept the buffer in on the K-style side of the circuit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eThe ’83 Drive is divided into a side A (left) and a side B (right), separated by the order toggle switch in the middle which flips the internal order of the effects and hence the signal path from guitar to amp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eSide A features the BB-style circuit with external knobs for GAIN, TONE, VOLUME and a three position toggle switch labeled LOWS. The lows switch changes the bass response of the circuit. Internally you find three dip switches (gain, soft clipping, hard clipping) that further enables you to tweak your tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eThe side B features the K-style circuit with external knobs for GAIN, TREBLE, OUTPUT and a two position toggle switch labeled CLIPPING. The clipping switch toggles between a pair of germanium or schottky clipping diodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"yiv0680451493\"\u003eBoth sides can be used separately or stacked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTRS split: Besides using the two sides of '83 DRIVE in serial mode, either A-\u0026gt;B or A\u0026lt;-B, the '83 DRIVE V2.0 can split side A \u0026amp; B into separate effects. The two 1\/4\" jacks, which in serial mode are used for signal in and out, will in split mode serve as IN+OUT for each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat is done via a - TRS to 2 x TS - 1\/4 \" jack cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe right side \"IN\" jack is IN+OUT for side B.
