This high quality buffer/boost pedal is in excellent condition having been stored in my home studio since purchase. Please note it does not come with the original product box, but I will package it safely and responsibly for delivery. I have replaced the original rubber feet with standard ones - see photos (these are easier to replace with Velcro or dual lock if you wish to put this on a pedal board).

Product description

The Lehle Sunday Driver SW is a compact-format high-end preamp for all types of electrical and acoustic instruments - a preamp that enables electric guitars and basses, acoustic guitars, and also other stringed instruments (such as violins, cellos and double basses) to realize all of their musical potential.

The Lehle Sunday Driver SW, with its high quality JFET technology, provides two operating modes. In mode D for “Driver” (switcher pressed), the input signal is amplified with zero modification, to eliminate the signal loss that long cable routings and/or effects chains can cause. The signal remains powerful and clear, and retains its dynamics. Mode S for “Sunday” (switcher not pressed) multiplies the input impedance by four, bringing out previously inaudible details and, as gain increases, imparting to the guitar a characteristic and unmistakable warmth. There is no distortion at any stage, and the signal always stays clean, even at a maximum gain setting of 15 dB. Thanks to its studio-standard signal-to-noise ratio of better than -100 dB, the Lehle Sunday Driver SW is totally free of background noise. To exploit the dynamics of tube amplifiers to the full, the input voltage is also rectified from the power supply socket, then filtered, stabilized and doubled to 18V.

In OFF status, the Lehle Sunday Driver SW provides two different modes of operation - in TB for “True Bypass” mode, the input and output are linked with zero losses to one another via a switch with gold-plated contacts. TB mode is the best option for a small setup with short cable routings and with a treble booster or a classical fuzz pedal is looped in after the Lehle Sunday Driver SW. The line driver function, located at the start of the train or in an effect chain, is the better solution for long cables and for complex effect board configurations. Switch the Lehle Sunday Driver SW to TS for “True Sound” mode, and it is active as a buffer, without amplifying or modifying the signal in any way. In this mode, the Lehle Sunday Driver SW operates as a totally neutral line driver. The Bypass mode option enables the Lehle Sunday Driver SW to integrate ideally into any setup, whether as a battery-operated stand-alone unit, or in an existing pedal board, not only on a sunday, but any other weekday, too.
