Lynx Drive - Z-Fx Pedals (DRV/Rat Style)

Lynx Drive – Distortion Pedal

The Lynx Drive is a distortion pedal inspired by the style and feel of the 1981 DRV, while incorporating several modifications and expanded tonal options for additional flexibility and range.

Built around a RAT-style distortion platform, the Lynx Drive delivers everything from tight low-gain crunch to aggressive saturated distortion with excellent note definition and dynamic response. While capable of classic distortion tones, the pedal remains highly touch-sensitive and responsive to picking attack and guitar volume adjustments.

Additional modifications include alternative clipping options, an alternate chip selection, and expanded bass response controls to provide a wider range of usable tones than a traditional RAT-style circuit.

Controls:
• Drive – Controls gain and saturation
• Cut – Adjusts high-end response and overall brightness
• Volume – Adjusts overall output level
• Clipping Toggle (Left) – Selects between asymmetrical clipping (up), symmetrical clipping (down), or no clipping (middle) for different gain textures and response characteristics
• Bass Toggle (Right) – Adjusts low-end response within the circuit, with the down position adding additional bass to the signal

Additional Features:
• Soft-touch relay true bypass switching
• Standard 9V DC power supply operation
• Hand built in Erie, PA

The Lynx Drive is designed to be a versatile and expressive distortion pedal capable of delivering a wide range of tones from articulate low-gain crunch to thick, harmonically rich distortion with exceptional clarity and responsiveness.
