Drivetrain II Overdrive Pedal Released

October 03, 2002

Reverend has released the new Drivetrain II ($99) analog overdrive pedal. Like the original Drivetrain, it features drive, volume, treble, bass, auxiliary power jack, heavy steel chassis, hand-wired jacks and JRC4558 IC chip.

The revised Drivetrain II features several important improvements made in response to customer feedback:

Increased output volume - With the drive set all the way off the pedal is still capable of substantial boosting by turning up the volume control. This allows a cleaner boost for fattening up the sound, pushing a tube amp over the edge or for simply changing the eq of your sound.

Wider range treble control - Allows more aggressive sounds and more tonal control which is especially useful with dark sounding humbucker equipped guitars.

Neutral bypass - Does not alter tone when pedal is bypassed and does not pop loud like common true bypass switches. Because it is buffered it also prevents signal and treble loss when using long cables or vintage pedals placed after the Drivetrain II. Reverend feels this is an improvement over true bypass switching.

Metallic Racing Green finish - Racy finish reminescent of 60's muscle cars.

The Drivetrain II is a collaborative design effort by Joe Naylor and Bob Weil of Visual Sound, and is available factory direct from Reverend Musical Instruments.
