Warm Audio WA-WD Warped Warmdrive Pedal
Warm Audio WA-WD Warped Warmdrive Pedal
The Warm Audio Warmdrive is a true reproduction of the most sought-after “amp-in-a-box” pedal, capturing the tones of an overdriven amp that many guitar heroes, including SRV, Eric Clapton, Robben Ford, John Mayer, Santana, and Cory Wong, have relied on. With its rich legacy, the Warmdrive delivers the authentic sound of the original pedal and amplifier that inspired it. Whether driving cleans into breakup, thickening rhythm tones, or saturating solos, this pedal transforms your amp from a polite platform into a fuzzy powerhouse without drastically altering your tone.
The unique Voice/Tone control allows for a versatile range, from silky-smooth sounds reminiscent of a perfectly overdriven amp to sustain-rich distortion, making it like having the best of both worlds. The voice/tone combination provides added flexibility compared to typical overdrive pedals, enabling players to modify frequencies before and after the clipping stages for dynamic soundscapes that can feel like multiple guitar signals. With critical volume and gain knobs, the Warmdrive is an essential addition to any live or studio rig, pushing beyond light overdrive to achieve a saturated cascading gain tone perfect for solo jams.
Features:
- Push & Blend Clean Tones: Whether you’re looking to dial in a transparent overdrive tone, push a tube amp to saturation, or solo with punch and clarity, the Warmdrive has all of the tones of that special overdriven amplifier.
- 4-Knob Versatility: The Warmdrive has 4 control knobs on the pedal: Volume, Tone, Gain, and Voice. Like the original, the voice knob controls the frequencies being clipped by the op-amp, delivering a tonal versatility beyond most guitar pedals. Experimenting with the voice knob can dramatically alter the overdriven bass and treble tones, making the Warmdrive experience like owning a second amp.
- True-to-Original Reproduction: The Warmdrive pairs premium components like 2N7000 MOSFETs and 1N34a Germanium / Schottky BAT41 diodes with a true-to-original circuit design to achieve the same tone and sonic profile of a very “zen” pedal.
- Stacks Easily: The Warmdrive often plays well with other dirt pedals in the chain because of its amplifier-inspired sound profile and forgiving circuit design.
