Taka Minamino's Custom Pedal "ACE DRIVE" is now available!

「Product Information」
TS overdrive"… there is no doubt that it has been the important existence in the history of electric guitar.
As the result of our continuous researches of TS, we finally managed to evolve it to be more useful and powerful, which is called as “ACE DRIVE.”
Based on the traditional Vintage TS, the concept of Ace Drive was to deliver more beautiful sound.
The distortion sound of Ace Drive delivers tighter low end and smoother treble. Of course, it is set to be low noise.
Besides the volume, tone, and gain, this pedal carries another good quality booster. This brings up only power and low, but the tone of guitar won’t be affected as it is. Without becoming boomy tone, only the sound pressure rises, which is also the core of the Ace Drive.

Three types of the Ace Drive.
Type ''B” – It is optimally tuned for British style amps. The range of gains is set to be wide, and it has strong low-end extrusion.

Type ''C'' – It is optimally tuned for California style amps.
Even though it moderately suppresses the gain, the sound is still clear with low gain. Also, this model emphasizes the tightness of the low end.

Type ''M'' – It is optimally tuned for modern high gain amps.
This model has the lowest gain setting and make the sound of high gain amps more beautiful. It also delivers a sharp attack feeling and would be the best use with a multi-string or drop-tuning guitars.

Vintage wires are used as a common option to all models.
In addition, comparing to the wire of the current product, the vintage wire delivers more open sound.
Because paint is also handmade, it becomes a different pattern one by one.
The check LED can be selected from red, blue or white color.
It runs by a general 9V drive. Since the battery can’t be built in, the original battery cable is included.

For shipment to the outside of Japan
Price: 34,000 Japanese Yen(Including shipping and tax)
