A Legendary Amp, On Your Pedalboard
The Warm
Audio Warmdrive is a true reproduction of the most sought-after
"amp-in-a-box" pedal of all time, delivering the tones of a truly
unattainable overdriven amp. Both guitar heroes and modern virtuosos
like SRV, Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, John Mayer, Santana, and Cory Wong
are known to have used either the original amplifier or the pedal
inspired by it. With an artist roster like that, it’s no wonder that
original vintage pedals are talked about amongst the most demanding and
discerning chasers of tone. Staying true to the legacy, the Warmdrive
delivers all the tones of the original pedal and amplifier that
inspired it.
True to legacy, true to sound
Whether
you’re driving cleans into breakup, thickening up rhythm tones, or
saturating solos, the Warmdrive can transform your amp from a polite and
clean pedal platform into a fuzzy monster. While the Warmdrive has
plenty of dynamic gain on tap, adding the pedal to your rig does not
dramatically alter or diminish your tone. Just like the original, the
Warmdrive has the unique Voice/Tone control to go from silky-smooth
tones reminiscent of that special overdriven amp at the sweet spot all
the way to sustain-rich distortion. It’s like having the best of both
worlds, from clean to mean.
Pedal Settings & Controls
The
voice/tone control combination on the stomp box gives artists extra
versatility compared to the typical overdrive pedal, allowing the player
to modify the frequency both before (voice control) and after (tone
control) the clipping stages. Playing with the knobs can create dynamic
sounds that almost seem like two guitar signals going at once.
Warmdrive will also push beyond light overdrive, all the way to a
saturated cascading gain tone that makes it easy to get lost in a solo
jam. Couple these controls with critical volume and gain knobs and the
Warmdrive is a venerable addition to any live or studio rig.
