Full Description

Preamp

With the pedals Gain at modest setting, and the Volume cranked up, the Valve Drive DI will deliver a full host of full-bodied, warm and beefy tones with a nice presence of tube compression. Players can also use this pedal in the studio and for live performances, enhancing their versatility at all times.

Overdrive

This versatile unit comes equipped with control options for Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass and Gain to easily dial in your perfect sound.

Additional Outputs

Rugged Design

The EBS Valve Drive DI Professional Bass Tube Preamp features a durable design that is built for the road. Its simple chassis includes two footswitches along with five control knobs, and a protective shield around the internal components.
