Here's what Supro say about the Analog Drive:

The Supro Drive captures the unmistakable sound of our vintage tube amplifiers in an effects pedal. By recreating every aspect of the circuitry of a 1960s Supro tube amp, including an actual output transformer, the Supro Drive achieves the magnetic saturation that gives Supro amps their iconic deep, warm, and gritty rock n' roll tones.

The most realistic-sounding overdrive pedal ever made, the Supro Drive features a toggle switch between the different windings of our custom transformer, offering high-headroom Bold sounds or high-gain Rich tones. The pedal also features an assignable Expression pedal control for adjusting gain with preset minimum and maximum settings. Runs on 9-18VDC.

KNOB-BY-KNOB

  • Volume: Sets the overall output volume
  • Gain: Sets the amount of preamp drive
  • Tone: Contours the tone of the drive
  • Transformer: Selects the winding ratio of the output transformer

CAPTURING THE SUPRO SOUND

Rather than approximating the sound of our amps using standard techniques, engineer Thomas Elliot created an all-new circuit which mimics every aspect of warm, Supro tube amp overdrive.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.
