The LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER II is a high-
end preamp and DI box all in a conveni-
ently compact format. Its circuit is based
on a discrete Class A circuit with JFET
technology and provides two modes of
operation, selected by a mode selector
switch with gold-plated contacts:
“D” stands for Driver: in this mode, your
guitar signal is amplified, with absolutely
no modification, at the input impedance
of a guitar amp, efficiently eliminating
losses on the route through leads and ef-
fects; the signal remains strong and clear,
retaining its full dynamics.
The second setting “S” - as in Sunday -
multiplies the input impedance by five,
bringing out previously inaudible details
and, as gain increases, giving your guitar
a characteristic and unmistakable warmth
that has given this preamp its name - the
result is a sound as mellow as a sunny
Sunday afternoon.
Even at the m18 dB gain set-
ting, the LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER II al-
ways stays clean and absolutely free of
background noise, thanks to its studio-
standard overall dynamic range of 130
dB. To exploit the dynamics of tube am-
plifiers to the full, the input voltage is also
rectified from the power supply socket,
then filtered, stabilized and transformed
to 30 V.
You can use it as a DI box on stage or as
a high-end preamp in the studio as well:
the output of the LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER
II can be tapped in balanced and the
pedal be powered via phantom power.
Whether as a cable driver for stadium
gigs, in complex effects setups, or as a
recording preamp - with its broad output
range of 20 to 100,000 Hz, the LEHLE
SUNDAY DRIVER II can be used any-
where.
And not just on Sundays.
We take care of your signal so that you
can take care of the music.
