Offer Details

The Suhr Shiba Drive is a premium overdrive pedal designed for warm rhythm tones, bluesy breakup and smooth, sustaining lead sounds while retaining clarity and playing dynamics.
It works equally well into a clean amp or as a boost into an already driven amplifier, with a focused midrange character that helps guitar tones cut through a mix.
This pre-owned example is presented in Good Condition and is supplied without a power supply.
Smooth, Responsive Overdrive
The Shiba Drive covers everything from mild breakup to richer, more sustaining overdrive.
Its dynamic response makes it particularly effective for players who shape their tone through picking attack and guitar volume changes.
3-Way Smooth Switch
The three-position Smooth switch changes the pedal’s high-frequency response:

Left – Mild high-end roll-off

Middle – More open, natural response

Right – Stronger high-end roll-off for thicker rhythm and lead tones

Combined with the Drive, Level and Tone controls, this makes it easy to match the pedal to different guitars, pickups and amps.
FX Link & True Bypass
The Shiba Drive features relay-based true bypass and Suhr’s FX Link connection for compatible external switching systems.
