Inside every SWELL pedal

Classic tube overdrive served up in a compact and easy to use low-gain push-drive pedal is the G-Drive from SWELL.

The Drive cleans-up just like your favorite amp by simply rolling back your guitar volume and is dead-quiet even with the output level control maxed out!

Fundamentally transparent and with just a hint of smooth natural tube-driven compression the Drive is extremely responsive to the nuances and complex overtones of single-coil and humbucking pickups.

Footswitch select between Gain 1 and 2 for the just the right amount of drive for rhythm and solo playing.

The NEW Fat & Cut switches in addition to the Tone control allow you to shape your tone both easily and quickly.

Cranked amp tone and feel at any volume level delivered by Amp & Record outs!

The G-Drive…R.O.C.K. from the USA.
