Bass

B-Drive

Overview

The B-Drive is a variation of our popular SWELL TONE CIRCUIT for Bass with a Vacuum Tube for the ultimate in a compact and easy to use effect pedal.

The B-Drive produces classic American drive tones made popular by the now highly collectable mid-'60s combo amps via either Amp and/or Record-outputs.

From Nashville to Fullerton and parts between—true red, white & blue small amp break-up is now foot-switchable thanks to SWELL.

The B-Drive…for the Tone-ally driven.
