Features
With dual cascaded, high voltage, triode valve stages the HT-
DRIVE delivers gain from warm boost to screaming valve
saturation. The unique ‘A-Class’ tone control cuts the fizz without
making your backed-off tone sound dull and lifeless.
For recording the HT-DRIVE features a full, no compromise,
speaker emulated output which will allow you to get an incredibly
natural valve overdrive sound straight to tape or disk.
