Suhr Shiba Drive Overdrive

Presenting the updated Suhr Shiba Drive Overdrive.

Shiba Drive is a smooth sounding overdrive pedal that provides players with a wide variety of fat rhythm and warm lead tones. Shiba Drive is very popular among players seeking an overdrive pedal that can be used in conjunction with both their amplifier’s clean and overdrive channels.

Suhr's engineers fine-tuned the gain staging to focus on saturation and upper harmonics, which resulted in improved midrange articulation and more sustain, allowing your notes to sing without sacrificing low-end definition.

Designed to work equally well with single coil and humbucking instruments, the Shiba Drive responds dynamically to every nuance of your playing, just like the overdrive channel of a tube amplifier. With a simple twist of your volume knob, you can easily morph from pushed clean to full-on Classic Rock style tones.

Smooth Switch: (Three Position)

• Left: Activates as a mild high-end roll off. Effective for warming up guitars with single-coil pickups.
• Middle: Voiced to produce a natural, open sounding overdrive.
• Right: A more pronounced high-end roll off. Excellent for chunky rhythms and violin-like lead tones.
  • Note: The modes have less effect at lower gain and tone settings.

True Bypass: Shiba Drive is true bypass via a relay. This function allows for the remote switching, and the battery monitor feature. The relay produces less popping when switching the pedal on and off.

FX Link: The FX Link connector allows the pedal’s switching function to be controlled from an external switch, pedal board, loop switcher, or any other custom interface. FX Link also provides the ability to power up in the On/Off state.

Low Battery Monitor: Shiba Drive incorporates a unique battery monitor that alerts the user to low battery conditions. In addition, the battery monitor will automatically switch the pedal to True Bypass if the battery voltage is too low for the circuitry to correctly operate.
