Gear Description & Specs


The 1981 Inventions DRV (White/Pink No3) is a boutique distortion pedal known for its articulate gain and refined RAT-inspired circuit. Designed for modern guitarists, the DRV delivers a wide gain range that moves from tight overdrive to saturated distortion while preserving clarity and note separation. Its three simple controls—Volume, Tone, and Drive—allow quick and precise tone shaping, making it easy to dial in focused rhythm sounds or expressive lead tones. The pedal’s carefully tuned EQ keeps the low end tight and the highs smooth, helping it sit perfectly in a mix without harshness. The DRV also responds well to picking dynamics and stacks effectively with boosts and other drive pedals. The White/Pink No3 finish gives this edition a distinctive aesthetic while maintaining the same highly regarded sound.
