FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!

Identical circuit and tone of the Shiba Reloaded Circuit (Original Shiba circuit is discontinued).

Shiba Drive™ is a smooth sounding overdrive pedal that provides players with a wide variety of fat rhythm and warm lead tones. Shiba Drive is very popular among players seeking an overdrive pedal that can be used in conjunction with both their amplifier’s clean and overdrive channels.

Our engineers fine-tuned the gain staging to focus on saturation and upper harmonics, which resulted in improved midrange articulation and more sustain, allowing your notes to sing without sacrificing low-end definition.

Smooth Amp-Like Performance

Designed to work equally well with single coil and humbucking instruments, the Shiba Reloaded 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.

3-Position Smooth Switch

Whether you prefer violin-like solos or an open and defined full-bodied rhythm tone, the Smooth switch offers flexible shaping of Shiba’s top-end response.

• Left: Activates a mild high-end roll off. Effective for warming up guitars with single-coil pickups.
• Middle: Voiced to produce a natural, open sounding overdrive.
• Right: A more pronounced high-end roll off. Excellent for chunky rhythms and violin-like lead tone

ADVANCED 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 from an external switch, 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 for the circuitry to correctly operate.
