Gear Description & Specs


The 1981 Inventions DRV Blackout is a sleek edition of the highly regarded DRV distortion pedal. Inspired by the classic RAT circuit, the DRV delivers a wide gain range with remarkable clarity and articulation. Guitarists can dial in everything from tight overdrive to full distortion using the intuitive Volume, Tone, and Drive controls. Unlike many distortion pedals, the DRV maintains note definition even at higher gain levels, making it ideal for complex chords and detailed lead playing. Its carefully tuned EQ keeps the low end controlled and the highs smooth, ensuring a balanced tone that sits well in a mix. The Blackout finish gives the pedal a stealthy and modern aesthetic while maintaining the same premium components and boutique build quality.
