Empress Effects The Drive Effects Pedal

Most overdrives are built around one particular character. The Empress Drive gives you the tools to shape your own. Instead of locking you into a single flavour of overdrive, it lets you shape the harmonic structure that determines how a drive sounds and responds.

With pre-overdrive mid shaping, flexible boost routing, clean blend, and post-mix EQ, the Empress Drive can move from subtle edge-of-breakup push to saturated, harmonically rich drive, either enhancing the character of your guitar and amp or taking your sound somewhere entirely new.

• Tube-like overdrive with advanced tone control
• Sweepable Midrange for precise harmonic shaping
• Mix control to preserve your amp’s natural breakup
• Active Bass and Treble shelving filters
• Up to 30 dB of pre- or post-clipping, footswitchable boost
• Built-in analog clipping meter with selectable LED colour
• Adaptive noise gate
