Details Reviews FAQs

The Shiba Drive is a smooth sounding overdrive pedal that will work great with clean amps for a bluesy overdrive tone or with an already overdriven amp to kick it to next gear.

Some players even like to use pedals of this class with a heavily overdriven amp for additional sustain and compression. Whatever the application, the Shiba Drive will shine and give you the performance you seek from a high quality overdrive pedal.

There is no harshness or flubbiness in the Shiba Drive's sonic character whatsoever. There is a slight midrange hump that helps you cut through the mix, but the sonic integrity of your guitar and pickups comes through loud and clear. The tone is musical and balanced with firm lows, punchy mids with just the right amount of cut, and sweet silky highs.

The Shiba Drive can purr, sing, growl or scream depending on the amp's setup and the amount of signal you're feeding it from your guitar and pickups. Combine the Shiba with the Koko with a single-channel tube amp for an extremely versatile rig. Like all of our products, what you put into this pedal is what you'll get out of it. The Shiba Drive begs you to stomp on it and produce some righteous tones.

CONTROLS

Shiba Driveå» features an easy to tweak layout which includes Drive, Level, Tone, and a Smooth switch.

Drive:
Controls the amount of Drive from the circuit. This will take you from a bluesy crunch to a sustained, compressed overdrive.
_
Level:
_Controls the output level of the pedal. Shiba provides enough level to push the front end of any tube amp into natural clipping, or adds sustain to an already overdriven amp.
_
Tone:
Shapes the the overall tonal response of the pedal - from warm and smooth to bright and cutting.
_
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.
