STAND OUT IN THE MIX

Shiba Drive has a pronounced midrange character that ensures your tone cuts through the mix.

CONTROLS

Shiba Drive 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 overall tonal response of the pedal – from warm and smooth to bright and cutting.

SMOOTH SWITCH

• 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.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

• True Bypass: Shiba is true-bypass via a relay. This function allows for the remote switching and the battery monitor feature. The relay produces less popping when switching the pedal on and off.
• FX Link: The FX Link connector allows the pedal’s switching function to be controlled from an external switch, pedalboard loop switcher, or any other custom interface. FX Link also provides the ability to power up in the On/Off state.
• Low Battery Monitor: A unique battery monitor alerts the user to low battery conditions. In addition, the battery monitor will automatically switch the pedal to True Bypass if the battery voltage is too low for the circuitry to correctly operate.
