Overview

Shiba Drive Reloaded Mini is the result of countless hours of listening, test-

ing, and tweaking our original overdrive circuit to create a pedal that is more

amp-like, has a tighter low-end, focused mids, and features more gain (50%

more than our original Shiba)� Shiba Drive Reloaded Mini is the ideal choice

for players seeking classic Blues, Jazz, and Rock style tones� Shiba Drive

Reloaded features an easy to tweak layout which includes Drive, Level, Tone

and a two position Smooth switch�

Please take the time to read this manual to get the most out of your pedal.

The more you familiarize yourself with the features of this pedal, the more

you will enjoy its benets and maximize its potential.

enough level to push the front end of any tube amp into natural clipping, or

smooth to bright and cutting�

Smooth: This switch contains 2 positions�

Left - Activates a mild high-end roll off� Effective for warming up guitars with
