'83 Drive is a dual overdrive guitar pedal and the ultimate tone machine,
providing a variety of delicious tones. It can be used as an always on drive
tone all the way to a mid boosting lead tone. Our take on the legendary
Klon Centaur-style overdrive and the Black Box Bluesbreaker, it features
two independent overdrives, giving you two classic drive sounds favored by
many guitarists in one enclosure.
Our 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.

The ’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.
Side A features the bluesbreaker-style circuit with external knobs for GAIN,
TONE, VOLUME and a two position toggle switch labeled LOWS. The lows
switch changes the bass response of the circuit.
The side B features the Klon Centaur-style circuit with external knobs for
GAIN, TREBLE, OUTPUT and a two position toggle switch labeled CLIPPINGThe clipping switch toggles between a pair of germanium or schottky
clipping diodes.

Both sides can be used separately or stacked.
TRS split: Besides using the two sides of '83 DRIVE in serial mode,
either A->B or A<-B, . 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.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE EXTERNAL ORDER TOGGLE SWITCH MUST
BE IN UP POSITION A <- B
