GETTING STARTED
The PettyDrive is a studio-grade dual-channel analog over-
drive pedal engineered to deliver the powerful tone and
dynamic feel of boutique tube amps pushed to the edge of
breakup. Each of the two fully independent channels are
uniquely voiced to compliment each other and provide a
wide range of sounds that range from thick, saturated Amer-
ican iron and growl to harmonically-rich British-like chime.
Only the highest possible quality audiophile components are
used to ensure the lowest noise, years of reliability and the
most articulate tone possible. The PettyDrive is a serious Tool
for Tone, built for the modern working guitarist in mind with
a balance of advanced tone shaping features, general ease-
of-use and tone that truly inspires.
One particularly unique feature is what we call a “Parallel
Eects Loop” on Channel Two. This Parallel Eects Loop gives
the guitarist real-time access to mix multiple eects together
in parallel and is inspired by the classic studio mixing tech-
nique of parallel processing. The Parallel Eects Loop gives
the guitarist totally new ways of using pedals and creating
textures never before possible in a live rig!
The PettyDrive was specically designed to operate as a drive
system that integrates seamlessly with the Pettyjohn Pre-
Drive in front of it! The PettyDrive can handle large amounts
of pre-boost while retaining its feel and articulation and
you can take your tone to new heights by using both pedals
together!
