The DRV No3 by 1981 Inventions is a drive pedal featuring clear and harmonic- rich warmth with guitar-specific midrange, offering clarity to various instruments. It runs on 9V standard (Boss style) power, with a recommended isolated power supply and a 58mA draw. The pedal is housed in a uniquely designed steel enclosure with quality components, including Switchcraft 11 open frame jacks and a super quiet soft-touch switching system via an internal relay. The pedal features two circuits, a distortion, and a preamp boost, running internally at 18V via an internal voltage regulator. The lower gain section is highlighted for its unique and vintage-like subtlety, while the gain section is praised for its sweet and punchy sound, especially for heavy and complex chords. The pedal is a result of a collaboration and engineering by Jon Ashley of Bondi Effects. It is designed to create a distinction for the user's sound and is noted for its usefulness in capturing different types of sounds. The DRV No3 is the first official release from 1981 Inventions.
