Description

Edit description

The Oxford Drive replicates a certain shred-tastic high-gain distortion pedal from the 1990s, but with more gain, more volume, bonus clipping options, an extra voicing, flexible soft-touch true bypass, and top-mount jacks in a small 1590B enclosure. The current pedal version also has the exact same “soft touch” knobs as can be found on a variety of vintage gear from the UK.
