Warm Audio Warmdrive Overdrive

Pedalboard

The Warm Audio Warmdrive is a true reproduction of one of the most coveted amp-in-a-box pedals of all time, delivering tones of a truly unparalleled overdriven amplifier. Legendary guitarists and modern virtuosos like SRV, Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, John Mayer, Santana, and Cory Wong are renowned for using either the original amplifier or the pedal inspired by it. With a roster of musicians like that, its no wonder why the original vintage pedals are discussed by the most demanding tone-hunting guitarists. Staying true and faithful to its legacy, the Warmdrive delivers all the tones of the original pedal and amplifier from which it was inspired.

True to the Sound, True to the Legacy

Whether youre playing clean, fattening up the rhythm tone, or shredding the solo, the Warmdrive can transform your amplifier from a clean and refined pedalboard platform into a fuzzy beast! While the Warmdrive has plenty of dynamic gain on tap, adding the pedal to an already existing chain doesnt drastically change your sound. Like the original, the Warmdrive has the unique Voice/Tone control to switch from smooth tones reminiscent of that special overdriven amplifier at its best, all the way to fully-sustained distortion. Its like having the best of both worlds, from clean to dirty!

Pedal Controls and Settings

The voice/tone control combination on the pedal gives artists extra versatility compared to a classic overdrive pedal, allowing the musician to modify the frequency before (voice control) and after (tone control) the clipping stages. Playing with the knobs, one can create dynamic sounds that will sound like two guitar signals simultaneously. The Warmdrive can also drive from a mild overdrive all the way to full distortion, making it easy to get lost in a solo jam. Combine these settings with critical volume and gain levels and the Warmdrive is a respectable addition to any live or studio setup.
