1. INTRODUCTION
2. EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS
The Supro Drive captures the unmistakable sound of our vintage tube amplifiers in an effects pedal. By
recreating every aspect of the circuitry of a 1960s Supro tube amp, including an actual output transformer,
the Supro Drive achieves the magnetic saturation that gives Supro amps their iconic deep, warm, and gritty
rock & roll tones. The most realistic-sounding overdrive pedal ever made, the Supro Drive features a toggle
switch between the different windings of our custom transformer, offering high-headroom Bold sounds or
high-gain Rich tones. The pedal also features an assignable Expression pedal control for adjusting gain with
Volume: Sets the overall output level of the effect.

Tone: Sets the cutoff frequency of a passive low pass filter at the output of the “preamp”. When the
knob is fully clockwise, there is no effect from the filter. As you turn the knob counter-clockwise, the
filter will cut more treble frequencies.
Transformer: Controls the amount of dynamic range of the “power amp” circuit. It switches between
two secondary coils of the output transformer. The Rich mode gives you a more compressed and
gained up sound, while Bold mode provides more headroom and punch to your tone.
Expression Jack: Accepts a 1/4” TRS cable from a standard expression pedal. This controls the gain
of the “preamp”. The heel-down minimum gain can be set with an internal trimmer.
Gain: Sets the maximum gain. Best paired with expression.
