Barber Guitar Pedals are fresh in, this is a New one & the Just Pedals team think it is a very nice one too. Good news ! This can be delivered straight to your door, quickly and securely, anywhere in the UK & Europe. For more info on this New Guitar Pedals, please read on for full details, demos, videos, reviews and order online.

Now in its fourth iteration, the Direct Drive brings a colossal catalog of vintage British voice to your pedalboard. Full to the brim with reactive tonal choices, the Direct Drive features a Direct Drive Low Gain (LG) and Super Sport style overdrive into one clean and compact pedal. Completely handmade by David Barber and a team of two, each pedal is hand-soldered and made with over 30 years of pedal and amp building experience.

Updated in 2020 with a fresh look, The Direct Drive V4 now has 3 levels of midrange which is selectable with 3-way toggle, and a gain switch expanded to 3-way toggle switch which adds a 3rd hyper dynamic “4 in input” style sound.

Key Features

  • Two Overdrives – The left switch is a harmonics toggle that delivers the elastic-bells of GZ34-sag, to the hells-bells of a tight EL34-crush instantly.
  • Versatile, Responsive Tone – Use the right 3-way toggle switch to go between a low british style gain, middle for more of a marshall sound, then toggle to the right for a full-throttle JCM800 style high gain tone.
  • Expertly Handmade – The Compact Direct Drive has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior of the Barber Electronics Direct Drive to always ensure maximum quality.

If you are using humbuckers or P90s and going into a clean amp then this pedal is for you. If you like the sound of the early UK combos with KT66 tubes, it’s in there. Want the sound of a 4 input guitar amp head with a wall of 4×12 cabs? It’s in there. If you live for the sound of a carefully modified master volume gem from the early 80’s, it’s in there too.

Simple Layout

The Compact Direct Drive uses a simple layout of three knobs, a gain toggle and a harmonics toggle to deliver the elastic-bells of GZ34-sag, to the hells-bells of a tight EL34-crush.

Handmade, Hand-Soldered

The Compact Direct Drive has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior of the Barber Electronics Direct Drive. The Direct Drive has a generous 2 1/2” of clearance between the front edge of the footswitch and the back edge of the knobs, no fear about accidentally changing your settings with each click of your footswitch.

  • Power: Current draw 12ma, 9-18 VDC negative tip. (power adaptor not included)

Tasty Pedals made by Barber

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Drive — A drive pedal adds grit, warmth, and harmonic richness by gently overdriving your guitar signal, simulating the sound of a tube amp pushed into natural breakup. It works by boosting the signal until it begins to clip softly, producing smooth, musical distortion that enhances dynamics without overwhelming the original tone. Drive pedals are perfect for adding sustain and body to clean tones or giving solos extra bite and presence. There are many flavours of drive — from transparent low-gain pedals that subtly enhance your sound, to midrange-heavy overdrives like the Tube Screamer that cut through a mix. They can be used to push an amp harder, stack with other pedals, or simply shape the foundation of your tone. A good drive pedal responds to your touch, letting you control everything from gentle crunch to singing sustain just by adjusting your picking dynamics or guitar volume.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New — This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included.
