Tech 21 Double Drive (Pre-Owned)
Designed with Tech 21’s unmistakably warm, rich 100% analog circuitry, the Double Drive really is something new - for a change. It offers 2 different types of distortion that are based solely on the output stages of specific tube amplifiers:Class A (Vox AC30-style) and Class A/B (Fender-style/Marshall-style).You can use either Drive control individually or together, which creates a unique blend of the 2 distortions and achieves a cascading effect

Specification
DRIVE A
- Controls the amount of Class A power amp output stage distortion (like Vox AC30®-style amp),rich in even harmonics.The amount of harmonics is dynamically controlled by the input level.Therefore, you will influence the ratio of harmonics by how hard you pick.At minimum,the circuitry has no tonal effect on the sound and is clean.
DRIVE A/B
- Controls the amount of Class A/B power amp output stage distortion (like Fender®/Marshall®-style amps),rich in odd harmonics. At minimum,the circuitry has no tonal effect on the sound and is clean.
TONE
- Is a very musical,specialized low pass filter that shifts the high cut from 10kH to 1kH.It allows you to remove the high end without losing mids or getting muddy.
LEVEL
- Is capable of extremely high output,up to 10dB (even in clean setting).Useful as a “preboost” for additional gain out of your amp without altering any tonal characteristics.
