Using the timeless ProCo RAT as a starting point, this Small batch, handmade guitar effect by Matthew Hoopes and friends is turning heads and ears! From the manufacturer: “The DRV is ahighly nuanced preamp/distortion pedal designed in collaboration with Jon Ashley of Bondi Effects. Through four years of abandoned prototypes and circuit tweaking, I think that we have emerged with something really special here. I wanted the DRV to be an extension of myself and what I personally needed from a distortion pedal. It is vintage minded in sound and concept. I find that there is a wide variety of sounds that can be found from tweaking three highly interactive knobs, which is how I like to tweak when I am finding a sound. “
