You may know the sound of the Warm Audio Warmdrive from guitar heroes such as SRV, Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, John Mayer and Cory Wong. They used the original Dumble Overdrive Special amp or the pedal inspired by it. These original vintage pedals sell for over $1000 each. But why should you? Because starting from you can go to this pedal, with a faithful reproduction of that Hermida Zendrive.
Like the original, the Warmdrive's "secret sauce" is the unique voice/tone control combination on the stompbox. This arrangement gives artists additional versatility allowing the player to change the frequency both before voice control and after tone control the clipping stages.
Playing with the knobs can create dynamic sounds that almost resemble two guitar signals going at once, all the way down to a saturated stepped gain tone. You actually have to experience the amount of gain and saturation of the tap in the Warmdrive to fully understand the amp-like tones of the tap.
