Description

The Mezzabarba Even Drive is a premium all valve overdrive pedal crafted by Mezzabarba Custom Amplification, a boutique brand celebrated for its high end guitar amplifiers and effects. Designed for players seeking unparalleled tone, dynamic response, and versatility, the Even Drive captures the essence of Mezzabarba’s legendary MZero Overdrive Head in a compact pedal format.

Featuring an all valve signal path powered by two 12AX7 preamp valves operating at a high voltage of 350Vdc, the Mezzabarba Even Drive offers an authentic amplifier like experience. Its dual mode operation, Overdrive and Distortion, ensures tonal versatility. The Overdrive mode delivers smooth, focused tones perfect for blues, pop, and classic rock, while the Distortion mode provides aggressive, harmonically rich sounds ideal for modern rock and metal. Both modes offer exceptional touch sensitivity and natural tube compression, ensuring every note sings with clarity and sustain.

The Mezzabarba Even Drive’s intuitive control layout includes Gain, Tone, and Level knobs, along with a Boost switch to toggle between the two modes. This setup allows precise tonal sculpting, making it easy to achieve anything from subtle breakup to searing leads. Its innovative true bypass switching system, featuring gold plated relays, preserves the integrity of your tone when the pedal is bypassed, while the built in valve cathode follower ensures optimal signal buffering for seamless integration with other pedals and amplifiers.

Handcrafted in Italy using military grade components, the Mezzabarba Even Drive is built for both durability and exceptional sound quality. Its rugged metal enclosure is designed to withstand the rigours of the road, while its compact dimensions make it pedalboard friendly. Stylish graphics and a clear power indicator LED enhance its professional aesthetic. The input and output jacks are conveniently placed for easy setup, and the pedal is powered by an external 12Vac power supply.

Whether you’re in the studio or on stage, the Mezzabarba Even Drive offers a high fidelity overdrive solution that delivers dynamic, fluid, and powerful tones. For discerning players who demand the best, this is more than just a pedal, it’s a gateway to uncompromising tone.
