About this pedal

The Compact Direct Drive condenses the sounds of the original Direct Drive, Direct Drive LG, and Super Sport into a single 2.3-inch-wide pedal. Three knobs plus 3-way gain and midrange toggles cover everything from vintage KT66-driven combos to tight, EL34-style crunch. It’s hand-wired with true-bypass switching and solder-lug construction for easy servicing.
