- New internal bass control- Now the Direct Drive can dial in a stronger
deeper bass response and can match even more amplifiers.
- New adjustable presence circuit- The new internal presence circuit replaces
the older style open air circuit to allow the new Direct Drive excellent
clarity while limiting fizzy artifacts.

- Full size pots- for durability and for easy serviceability if needed.
- Hand made-we make the Direct Drive one at a time and each one is signed
and dated by the craftsman.
- Improved Volume knob response circuitry-more shades shades and textures
at your fingertips just by adjusting your volume knob.
- Cast aluminum enclosure-our incredibly durable enclosure will last decades
if not centuries.
- Double sided pc board with plate through holes-This is the way the military
does it when they want electronics to work FOREVER! all pedals should be
made this way , few are...
- Low compression artifacts!-By carefully tuning the Direct Drive compression
has been reduced to the most amp like response to date!!
- Three knob control for tonal versatility-The Direct drive uses a simple
three knob control layout with a push/pull tone knob for a second Fat Harmonics
voice. Voice one brings the classic tones of the past to veteran players
then simply pull the tone knob for modern fat harmonic tones...KILLER!
High quality components- Players have requested the use of carbon resistors, metalized polyester caps. These components were thought to be only available on the highest priced pedals. Players asked, and we deliver...no problem, no exaggerated "boutique builder" pricing.
-
- Ready for 18 volt operation-The Direct Drive operates from 9 volts to
18 volts, this allows use of higher voltage converters and supplies, for
players who want to try higher voltage tweaks.
- Barber adjustable phono style recovery stage- Most of our op-amp based overdrive pedals use a cool old style phonograph circuit to recover the frequencies lost in the overdrive stage, this worked great for vinyl and now works great for guitar overdrive!
The Sound
The Direct Drive brings new clarity to the Barber Line while
delivering startlingly accurate tube style overdrive, bass notes have separation
like never before, chords ring with clarity, and sweet vintage voices sing
from your guitar...this is the tone to die for.
