STEVE VAI LEGACY DRIVE

PG.

1. “VAI” SYMBOL - COLOR CHANGE

  Steve Vai’s trademark “VAI” hieroglyph symbol will glow different colors 

to indicate which mode the Legacy DRIVE is in. Green is for CLEAN, red 

is for DRIVE and amber-yellow is for GAIN in DRIVE mode.

2. FOOTSWITCHES

  The LEFT footswitch is for ON/BYPASS switching.

The CENTER footswitch is for GAIN mode, adding to the DRIVE channel.       

The RIGHT footswitch chooses between the DRIVE or CLEAN channel. 
  The LED’s next to the volume controls indicate which channel is active, 

and will also be shown by the color of the “VAI” symbol.
  When using the rear FOOTSWITCH or BYPASS jacks, first set these 

footswitches to the DRIVE, GAIN and ON positions.

3. ON LED (RED) and BYPASS MODE

The LEFT footswitch is for ON/BYPASS switching. When the red LED is 

ON the preamp is active. When the LED is OFF the unit is in BYPASS 

mode, and the signal is unaffected from the INPUT to OUTPUT jacks. 

In BYPASS the PHONES/CAB VOICED OUT jack will include guitar 

speaker emulation, but is otherwise unaffected. Select ON or BYPASS 

from the left footswitch or the the rear BYPASS jack.

4. MASTER

Set the MASTER control for overall volume at the OUTPUT and 

PHONES/CAB VOICED OUT jacks.

CLEAN CHANNEL 

The Clean channel gives you crisp, clean playing with high headroom and 

no breakup. Thanks to special mud-cutting circuits that work between the 

frequencies of 500 and 700 Hz, your guitar tones will be full and vibrant.

5. CLEAN CHANNEL INDICATOR

The green LED will indicate the CLEAN channel is selected (right foot-

switch).

6. VOLUME

This control sets the CLEAN channel volume. If you hear any distortion 

lower this VOLUME and raise the MASTER which also affects output.

7. 8. 9. BASS, MID & TREBLE CONTROLS

You can start at 5 on the dial for each of the tone controls. However, 

these settings do not represent a normalized (flat) sound. You need to 

set them where they sound best! Some musicians like to reduce the 

MID for deeper bass and crisper highs. If your sound is too bright with 

single coil pickups, you may want to keep the PRESENCE switch off.

10. PRESENCE SWITCH (Clean channel)

For added clarity, the PRESENCE switch increases only the highest 

guitar harmonics in the 8-10k Hz range which is ideal for brightening up 

dual coil neck pickups.

GETTING STARTED QUICKLY

  If you are like most players, you probably 

want to plug in and get playing right away. 

You can read the rest of the manual later to 

learn the finer details.
  To get started you will need your 

Legacy DRIVE, a proper AC adapter, 

an instrument, and a standard guitar 

cord.
 Turn the MASTER control to “0”. Turn 

the Volume, Drive, and tone controls 

to their center position.
  Plug in your instrument at the rear INPUT 

jack. If you are using an amp with guitar 

speakers, plug in to the rear OUTPUT jack. 

If you  are  listening  with  amplified  full-range 

speakers or headphones plug into the side 

PHONES/CAB VOICED OUT jack.
  Now plug in the AC apapter to the rear 

POWER jack, then plug it into the proper AC 

voltage. Allow 30 seconds for the tubes to 

warm up.
  Set the left ON/BYPASS footswitch to light 

the red “ON” LED near the MASTER. The right 

footswitch selects CLEAN or DRIVE channels. 

The center footswitch selects more GAIN for 

the DRIVE channel.
  Turn up the MASTER slightly and adjust each 

channel VOLUME. Adjust the DRIVE and tone 

controls and you’re ready to go.
  If you experience problems, first check all 

connections and settings. If you still feel your 

preamp is malfunctioning, contact Carvin. 

Tubes can be damaged in shipping.

QUICK START GUIDE

 If you are like most players, you probably want to plug 
in and get playing right away. You can read the rest of 
the manual later to learn the finer details. To get started 
you will need your Legacy DRIVE, a proper AC adapter,
an instrument, and a standard guitar cord.
 Turn the MASTER control to “0”. Turn
the Volume, Drive, and tone controls to their 
center position. Plug in your instrument at the 
rear INPUT jack. If you are using an amp with guitar
speakers, plug in to the rear OUTPUT jack. If you 
are listening with amplified full-range speakers or 
headphones plug into the side PHONES/CAB VOICED 
OUT jack. Now plug in the AC adapter to the rear
POWER jack, then plug it into the proper AC voltage. 
Allow 30 seconds for the tubes to warm up. Set the left 
ON/BYPASS footswitch to light the red “ON” LED near 
the MASTER. The right footswitch selects CLEAN or 
DRIVE channels. The center footswitch selects more 
GAIN for the DRIVE channel. Turn up the MASTER 
slightly and adjust each channel VOLUME. Adjust the 
DRIVE and tone controls and you’re ready to go.
