1981 pedal drv 1981 Inventions DRVThe 1981 Inventions DRV has become one of the most talked about pedals of the last few years, and for good reason. The DRV is a highly nuanced preamp distortion pedal designed by 1981 founder Matthew Hoopes in collaboration with Jon Ashley of Bondi Effects.

The 1981 Inventions DRV has become one of the most talked about pedals of the last few years, and for good reason. The DRV is a highly nuanced preamp/distortion pedal designed by 1981 founder Matthew Hoopes in collaboration with Jon Ashley of Bondi Effects. Through four years of abandoned prototypes and circuit tweaking, the pair emerged with a truly special and truly original circuit design. Nominally based around an early '80s large box, 'white face' ProCo rat, the DRV takes on a life of its own, with a musically rich and extremely versatile sound. The level of flexibility that can be achieved from the three knob layout is highly intuitive and interactive, covering a huge range of diverse drive sounds from lower gain, almost 'transparent' tones, to heavier, fuller distortion that can almost spill over in to fuzz. 

The DRV has plenty of clarity and harmonic-rich warmth, with a midrange tuned specifically for guitar that adds a whole lot of clarity to almost any instrument. The DRV has a unique dynamic range and sensitivity, where instead of going clean to slightly overdriven, it goes from clean to slightly distorted, with the preamp and distortion sounds meeting and interacting extremely naturally. 

The 1981 Inventions DRV is hand built and wired in the USA with vintage style through-hole components on the PCB. The DRV features off-board jacks and power enclosed in a uniquely subtle folded steel box. Each unit is personally tested and hand numbered.

Solid Kids Sandals, Overpriced Like Most Kids Shoes 🌞
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Brown
My son hasn’t worn these yet since it’s December in Indiana and sandals + snow obviously don’t mix. 😂 So this review is based on first impressions rather than long term wear. That said, these seem wider than a lot of typical kids’ sandals, which I REALLY appreciate since we tend to have wider feet in our family. #hobbitfeet The quality feels pretty decent overall. They’re described as lightweight, and while they’re not insanely lightweight, they do have enough weight to feel semi-sturdy and not flimsy or cheap. I like the style and color, and I think they’ll work well for my son once warmer weather hits. My main complaint is the price. At just under $24 at the time of this review, it feels a little high for kids’ sandals and for what these are. I really feel like $20 MAX would make more sense. Kids shoes are almost always priced like adult shoes, even though they clearly use less material, and that’s hard for me to understand and wrap my mind around. Overall, these seem solid for daily wear, I just wish the price was a bit more reasonable and affordable.
