Born from a four-year development process and a close collaboration with John Snyder of Electronic Audio Experiments, the LVL is a professional low-gain device designed to be the pedal you never want to turn off. Rather than relying on standard K-style or Tube Screamer circuits, the LVL utilizes a unique combination of light clipping and op-amp push to achieve a distinct, clear, and articulate overdrive structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eSonically, this pedal captures the specific, driving energy found on Relient K’s \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"81\" data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eForget And Not Slow Down\u003c\/i\u003e era. It is engineered as a \"full-range\" drive, meaning it preserves your signal’s low-end frequencies, making it an exceptional choice for bass guitar as well as electric guitar. Whether you are looking for a subtle harmonic enhancement or a gritty, amp-like breakup, the LVL provides a perfect low-gain stage that sits perfectly in a mix without muddying your natural tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eConstruction-wise, the LVL is built to be the ultimate team player on your pedalboard. It excels at stacking, breathing new life into fuzz pedals when placed after them, or pushing other overdrives into rich saturation when placed before them. It responds dynamically to volume boost in front of it and cleans up beautifully with your volume knob. If the DRV is the distortion of the mid-2000s, the LVL is the transparent, textured overdrive of the modern era, delivering a sound that is both fresh and instantly classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003eUnique Circuit Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Features a distinct architecture combining light clipping and op-amp push, developed in collaboration with Electronic Audio Experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003eFull-Range Frequency:\u003c\/b\u003e Designed to retain low-end frequencies, making it an incredible tool for both guitar and bass players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003eSuperior Stacking:\u003c\/b\u003e Acts as a perfect foundational gain stage that enhances fuzz pedals and pushes other overdrives effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eSignature Tone:\u003c\/b\u003e Captures the specific, articulate low-gain drive sound associated with Relient K's \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"99\" data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003eForget And Not Slow Down\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003eBoutique Build Quality:\u003c\/b\u003e Housed in a robust enclosure with the sleek, minimalist aesthetic 1981 Inventions is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003ePedal Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Overdrive\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eAnalog\/Digital:\u003c\/b\u003e Analog\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eInputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x 1\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003eTrue Bypass:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003ePower Source:\u003c\/b\u003e 9V DC power supply (sold separately)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,6,0\"\u003eBatteries:\u003c\/b\u003e N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,7,0\"\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,8,0\"\u003eWidth:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.65\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,9,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,9,0\"\u003eDepth:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eCondition: Excellent.
