Pawnshop Drive

$170 USD

Soft-clipping MOSFET drive.

Pawnshop Drive pairs a transparent, all-analog signal path with MOSFET soft clipping. Lower Drive settings keep notes articulate; higher settings add bite and enough level to stand out in a mix.

Presence changes how the gain stages feed back into one another, opening up textures beyond a conventional overdrive.

01 / Shape your sound

At your fingertips.

Volume: Moves the output from quiet to a substantial level boost.
Drive: Sets the gain in the circuit’s first stage.
Presence: Feeds the second gain stage back into the first, changing the clipping response. Fully clockwise gives a conventional overdrive character; fully counterclockwise effectively takes the MOSFET clipping out for an op-amp-driven sound.
Treble: A passive filter sets how much high end passes through.
Bass: An active filter boosts low frequencies in the 100–500 Hz range.
