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 the authentic tones of a truly unparalleled overdriven amplifier. Legendary guitarists and modern virtuosos like Stevie Ray Vaughan, 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 highly sought after by the most discerning 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 rhythm tones, or shredding solos, the Warmdrive can transform your amplifier from a clean and refined platform into a fuzzy beast! While the Warmdrive provides plenty of dynamic gain, adding the pedal to an existing chain doesnt drastically alter your sound. Like the original, the Warmdrive features the unique Voice/Tone control to switch from smooth, warm tones reminiscent of that special overdriven amplifier at its finest, all the way to fully-sustained distortion. Its like having the best of both worlds—from pristine clean to dirty overdrive!

Pedal Controls and Settings

The Voice/Tone control combination on the pedal gives artists extra versatility compared to a classic overdrive pedal, allowing musicians to modify the frequency before (Voice control) and after (Tone control) the clipping stages. Playing with the knobs, you can create dynamic sounds that will sound like two guitar signals simultaneously. The Warmdrive can transition from mild overdrive all the way to full distortion, making it easy to explore creative possibilities in a solo jam. Combine these settings with critical volume and gain levels and the Warmdrive becomes a respectable addition to any professional live or studio setup.
