The Warm Audio Warmdrive is a faithful reproduction of the highly revered Hermida Zendrive pedal, known for delivering the iconic tones of the Dumble Overdrive Special amp. Using carefully selected components and a true-to-original circuit design, the Warmdrive transforms even the cleanest of tones into a crunchy rhythm channel with plenty of grit. Pluging the Warmdrive into an already overdriven amp will take it further into saturation for searing high gain tones, perfect for leads.

Just like the original, the “secret sauce” of the Warmdrive lies in its unique Voice/Tone control. This versatile control allows you to modify the frequency both before (Voice control) and after (Tone control) the clipping stages for a host of useable amp-like overdrive sounds. Housed in a rugged metal encosure with carefully taspered knobs, the Warmdrive features true-bypass switching so you can be sure that your core tone remains in tact when the pedal is bypassed.

Key Features

  • Based on the iconic Dumble Overdrive Special – Enhance your pedalboard with the sounds of one of the most sought after amps in history!
  • Push & Blend Clean Tones – Dial in the perfect transparent overdrive, push a tube amp further into saturation, or boost solos with punch and clarity.
  • 4-Knob Versatility – Controls for Volume, Tone, Gain, and Voice put plenty of tone tweaking options at your feet. It's like adding a second premium amp to your rig! 
  • True-to-Original Reproduction – The Warmdrive pairs premium components like 2N7000 MOSFETs and 1N34a Germanium / Schottky BAT41 diodes with a true-to-original circuit design to achieve the same tone and sonic profile of a very “zen” pedal.
  • Stacks Easily – The Warmdrive plays well with other drive pedals in your signal chain because of its amplifier-inspired sound profile and forgiving circuit design.
  • Made in USA – Like all Warm Audio gear, the Warmdrive is meticulously tested and inspected by real guitar players and trained technicians in Austin, TX USA.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar Pedal pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
