Shiba Drive is a smooth sounding overdrive pedal that provides players with a wide variety of fat rhythm and warm lead tones. Shiba Drive is very popular among players seeking an overdrive pedal that can be used in conjunction with both their amplifier’s clean and overdrive channels. Shiba Drive also has a pronounced midrange character that ensures your tone cuts through the mix.
Shiba Drive™ features an easy to tweak layout which includes Drive, Level, Tone, and a Smooth switch.
Drive:
Controls the amount of Drive from the circuit. This will take you from a bluesy crunch to a sustained, compressed overdrive.
Level:
Controls the output level of the pedal. Shiba provides enough level to push the front end of any tube amp into natural clipping, or adds sustain to an already overdriven amp.
Tone:
Shapes the the overall tonal response of the pedal – from warm and smooth to bright and cutting.
Smooth Switch: (Three Position)
Left: Activates as a mild high-end roll off. Effective for warming up guitars with single-coil pickups.
Middle: Voiced to produce a natural, open sounding overdrive.
Right: A more pronounced high-end roll off. Excellent for chunky rhythms and violin-like lead tones.
Note: The modes have less effect at lower gain and tone settings.
