Suhr Shiba Drive Reloaded – Smooth Overdrive

 Suhr Shiba Drive Reloaded

The Suhr Shiba Drive Reloaded is the result of many hours of listening, testing, and tweaking. We looked at our original overdrive circuit to create a pedal that is more amp like. It also has a tighter low-end, focused mids, and features more gain (50% more than our original Shiba).

The original Shiba provides players with a variety of fat rhythm and warm singing lead tones. The Shiba Drive gained great popularity among players seeking an overdrive pedal that could be used with their amplifier’s clean or overdrive channels for added flexibility.

Shiba Reloaded is the ideal choice for players seeking classic Blues, Jazz, and Rock style tones.

Whats new in the Shiba Drive Reloaded?

Suhr redesigned Shiba’s Smooth switch to be more apparent offering flexibility, giving you the ability to fine tune your sound. Whether you prefer warm violin like solos or an open and defined full bodied rhythm tone, Shiba Drive Reloaded is your ideal overdrive pedal for a variety of playing styles.

An excellent companion to the original Shiba Drive, Shiba Drive Reloaded is a versatile overdrive pedal that delivers a broad range of pushed/overdriven tones, with an amp-like feel, all within a compact stompbox.

Amp like performance

This Shiba works equally well with single coil and humbucking instruments. It responds dynamically to every nuance of your playing, just like the overdrive channel of a tube amplifier. With a simple twist of your volume knob, you can easily morph from pushed clean to full-on Classic Rock style tones.

Gain to spare
The Shiba Drive Reloaded offers over 50% more gain than our original Shiba Drive. Our engineers fine-tuned its gain stage, increased saturation and upper harmonics, which resulted in improved midrange articulation and more sustain, allowing your notes to sing without sacrificing low-end definition.

Additional Features

• True Bypass: Shiba Drive Reloaded is true bypass via a relay. This function allows for the remote switching, and the battery monitor feature. The relay produces less popping when switching the pedal on and off.
• FX Link: The FX Link connector allows the pedal’s switching function to be controlled externally. Use a pedal board, loop switcher, or any other custom interface. FX Link also provides the ability to power up in the On/Off state.
• Low Battery Monitor: Shiba Drive Reloaded incorporates a unique battery monitor that alerts the user to low battery conditions. In addition, the battery monitor will automatically switch the pedal to True Bypass if the battery voltage is too low.
