Based on the 1981 Inventions DRV, the 1991 Drive is a vintage preamp/distortion circuit that offers refined open and responsive distortion and overdrive tones. It was created with the intention of achieving unique soundings, and it does so with only three highly interactive knobs. The Cut knob controls the amount of low-end frequencies, the Drive knob adjusts the amount of gain, and the Volume knob adjusts the overall output level. With these controls, you can find a wide variety of sounds, from clean tone shaping to entirely saturated distortion tones. It can also be used as a dirty boost, allowing you to shape your amp to get a perfect distortion with an airy and open breakup that also tightens into more precise playing. The board includes an internal charge pump powered by IC3 LT1054*. This charge pump allows the circuit to achieve its unique soundings, and it is powered by 7660s or Max1044, among others. Overall, the 1991 Drive is an exceptional, vintage, versatile, and highly interactive preamp/distortion circuit. It offers a broad range of great drive waves, and its three knobs allow you to find a wide variety of sounds. It can also be used as a dirty boost, allowing you to shape your amp to get a perfect distortion with an airy and open breakup that also tightens into more precise playing.
