Now in its fourth iteration, the Direct Drive brings a colossal catalog of vintage British voice to your pedalboard. Full to the brim with reactive tonal choices, the Direct Drive features a Direct Drive Low Gain (LG) and Super Sport style overdrive into one clean and compact pedal. Completely handmade by David Barber and a team of two, each pedal is hand-soldered and made with over 30 years of pedal and amp building experience.

Updated in 2020 with a fresh look, The Direct Drive V4 now has 3 levels of midrange which is selectable with 3-way toggle, and a gain switch expanded to 3-way toggle switch which adds a 3rd hyper dynamic “4 in input” style sound.

Key Features

• Two Overdrives – The left switch is a harmonics toggle that delivers the elastic-bells of GZ34-sag, to the hells-bells of a tight EL34-crush instantly.
• Versatile, Responsive Tone – Use the right 3-way toggle switch to go between a low british style gain, middle for more of a marshall sound, then toggle to the right for a full-throttle JCM800 style high gain tone.
• Expertly Handmade – The Compact Direct Drive has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior of the Barber Electronics Direct Drive to always ensure maximum quality.

If you are using humbuckers or P90s and going into a clean amp then this pedal is for you. If you like the sound of the early UK combos with KT66 tubes, it’s in there. Want the sound of a 4 input guitar amp head with a wall of 4×12 cabs? It’s in there. If you live for the sound of a carefully modified master volume gem from the early 80’s, it’s in there too.

Simple Layout

The Compact Direct Drive uses a simple layout of three knobs, a gain toggle and a harmonics toggle to deliver the elastic-bells of GZ34-sag, to the hells-bells of a tight EL34-crush.

Handmade, Hand-Soldered

The Compact Direct Drive has real honest solder lugs for jacks, a true-bypass footswitch, toggles and pots. Nothing but the best tried and true hand-built methods adorn the interior of the Barber Electronics Direct Drive. The Direct Drive has a generous 2 1/2” of clearance between the front edge of the footswitch and the back edge of the knobs, no fear about accidentally changing your settings with each click of your footswitch.
