Pigtronix Fat Drive Overdrive

Welcome to the realm of Pigtronix! Your new FAT Drive is an analog distortion designed to impart warm, tube sound overdrive while remaining transparent and true to your guitar’s tone. The FAT Drive is sensitive to your playing dynamics and will respond musically no matter how soft or hard you push it.

The VOLUME control sets the overall output level. The GAIN control determines how much distortion the FAT Drive adds to your sound. The “MORE” switch significantly increases the pedal’s gain when put in the up position. The TONE knob controls a passive low pass filter. When the TONE knob is fully clockwise, the filter is taken completely out of the circuit, for maximum brightness.

The 18VDC power supply that is included provides a huge amount of headroom and output level. Feel free to experiment with running this pedal on a standard 9VDC (neg. tip) supply to get even more crunch at the expense of some headroom and overall output.

DC Power - The FAT Drive comes with an 18VDC, neg. tip power supply. It will also work just fine on a standard Boss style 9VDC power supply. The FAT Drive does not take batteries.

The FAT Drive will play nice with other gain and boost pedals, so make sure to try placing it both before and after your other boxes to see which configuration provides the best tone for you.
