Description
Built for the gigging musician or studio explorer chasing tones, this version of the DRV No3 is for those with a certain...gold standard. This special edition of the DRV comes dressed in a *professional* looking Gold enclosure with elegant Maroon knobs. If you're into legendary pedal colors, this one will feel familiar in all the right ways. Still, what sets the DRV apart is how it goes beyond tribute, offering something deeply personal, refined, and uniquely responsive.
Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully hand‑assembled through‑hole circuit-tweaked over years in collaboration with designer Jon Ashley, offering a fluid range from clean boost to thick and focused distortion. Three highly interactive knobs let you dial in anything from a harmonic, gentle front-end push and warmth to fuzz-laden highs, all with a touch-sensitive dynamic response. Whether you're looking for the nuanced grit of driven tube amp tones or a full-bodied driven fuzz, the DRV delivers.
Tone, reliability, and a personal touch are top priorities at 1981's workshop in the USA. The compact folded‑steel enclosure is built tough, with top mount jacks and power input. Each unit is personally tested and hand-numbered, so you're getting gear that feels personal, like part of your rig. We're proud to carry the DRV No3 at Cream City Music, it's a pedal that earns its place on your board, whether you're chasing vintage warmth or modern grit.
Specifications:
- 9-18v DC input with Center Negative 2.1mm barrel plug
- DRV controls the pedal's gain being applied, and goes from subtle overdrive to full out fuzz
- CUT controls the tone, and acts like a treble cut
- VOL is the output of the pedal, and like any overdrive/boost circuit, this is the one to crank if you're looking to slam the front end of your amp or another pedal
