DC Drive

The Carl Martin DC Drive is a highly versatile overdrive offering two distinct voicings and an independent clean boost in one pedalboard-friendly package. It covers clean boost through modern high-gain overdrive.

The Regular/Fat switch provides two fundamental characters: Regular mode delivers crisp, clear old-school drive, while Fat mode offers thicker gain with a more modern voice. The onboard clean boost adds up to 15dB of transparent volume, activated via a separate footswitch.

With Level, Tone, Drive, and Boost controls plus Carl Martin's DC/DC converter for enhanced headroom, the DC Drive adapts to any playing situation. It works equally well as a primary drive, boost, or both simultaneously.
