Hermida Audio Dover Drive

HERMIDA AUDIO TECHNOLOGY DOVER DRIVE

Dover
Drive, inspired by the tube-driven B.K. Butler and Chandler Tube Driver
pedals that have powered everything from David Gilmour’s late-model
stadium sound to J Mascis’s power jangle to Eric Johnson’s violin-like
tone. The Dover Drive’s tube-free design might mean it can’t deliver all
the magic of an original Tube Driver, but it’s got a unique vibe, and
is a killer all-around pedal that covers everything from mild overdrive
to Fuzz Face-like assault.


And while the name
might imply that the pedal is based on Johnson’s iconic “Cliffs of
Dover” tone, Hermida says he sought inspiration from the guitar sound on
Johnson’s “Righteous.” But focusing exclusively on Eric Johnson-like
attributes overlooks that fact that the Dover Drive is a
touch-responsive, dynamic, and wide-ranging overdrive suitable for any
player who loves transitioning from “smooth” to “growl.”


FEATURES:


-Classic, touch sensitive, soaring leads b/w of chunky and pounding rhythm tones
-Internal bias control trim pot
-True Bypass switching, making sure your signal is preserved when the effect is off
-9VDC, center negative adapter or 9V battery / Current draw 10mA
-Made in USA


Controls:


-Volume
– Controls the overall output of the effect. There’s a lot of it on tap
too. You’ll find unity gain between the effected and bypassed signal
around 8:00-9:00.


-Gain – Controls the
distortion amount of the effect. Around 9:00 is good for a nice, bluesy
rhythm. 1:00 and up starts to add sustain for leads, while remaining
smooth and dynamic.


-Tone – Single band EQ will
add or subtract presence to the effected signal. Rolling back around
10:00 will give a darker, rounder sound, while moving around 2:00 will
add clarity.


-Bias Control- If you unscrew the
the back of your Dover Drive, you’ll find a tiny trim pot toward the
upper left of the board. Using a small flathead screwdriver, you are
able to adjust the bias control of the effect. Turning it to the left
will give it a starved, sharp attack with a charmingly, spitty quality
to it. Turning it to the right will open it up more while smoothing out
the decay and thus, offering more sustain.
