Tech 21 Double Drive 3XThe Double Drive 3X unique pedal design captures the lush,
muscular power amp distortions of both Class A and Class A/B tube amps. The
tones can be used individually or you can feed one into the other for massive ‘cascading’ distortion
and limitless tonal variation. The 100% analog Double Drive 3X is a 3-channel,
fully programmable version of its single channel predecessor and features active
3-band EQ. The expanded tone section gives you even greater flexibility to
create incredible and original tones. You can store three custom sounds, even
on the fly, by simply tweaking the knobs and double-tapping on a footswitch.
How easy is that? And, with both Drives at minimum, you can program a clean
boost up to 10dB for blazing solos.Hear the Tech 21 Double Drive 3X Sound Samples:
Class
A Vox AC-30® style power amp tube distortion
Class
A/B Marshall®/Fender®
A+A/B:
Vox Class A Cascaded into Marshall A/B Style AmpDRIVE A controls
the amount of Class A power amp output stage distortion (like Vox AC30®-style
amp), rich in even harmonics. The amount of harmonics is dynamically controlled
by the input level and their ratio by how hard you pick.DRIVE A/B controls
the amount of Class A/B power amp output stage distortion (like Fender®/Marshall®-style
amps), rich in odd harmonics.The signal path of Drive A runs into the signal
path of Drive A/B. This results in an electronic multiplication, rather than
addition, of the amount of distortion to achieve a cascading effect.Other features include:
• LEVEL is capable of extremely high output, up to 10dB (even in clean setting).
Useful as a pre-boost for additional gain out of your amp without altering any
tonal characteristics. • 1/4 INPUT is 1megOhm high impedance input, same as traditional
tube amps. • 1/4 OUTPUT is 1kOhm low impedance output. • Can drive long cables
without loss of signal integrity, even in bypass. • LED is highly efficient and
low power consuming. It will fade as the battery runs low (±6.5V), although the
Double Drive will continue to operate. • Power Consumption: approx. 5mA.
