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.
