General

The high-grade and near-silent Lehle Sunday Driver SW is the footswitch finished version of the Sunday Driver, meaning that you can now flip the boost and buffer options on and off swiftly, and with minimum effort. The rest thankfully remains the same, so you can connect an acoustic or electric guitar and an amp up to this stompbox, and in Driver mode, raise any weaker signals to match the standard input impedance of an amplifier and give it a neutral boost, while the Sunday mode ensures a detailed sounding, four-way impedance, combined with a noticeably warm edge.

Tweaking the Sunday Driver SW Buffer/Booster

Push the Gain pot to the right to drench your sound in more and more of that characteristic, sultry Sunday Drive warmth and be totally assured that, as soon as you switch this pedal off, you get pure True Bypass, lossless signal transfer. In case of set-ups that demand longer cables or massive effect chains, a True Sound setting has even been provided. This incredibly elegant feature turns the pedal into a neutral line driver, so that it operates as if in Driver mode but with the Gain pot pulled all the way back to the left.

Ik heb hem al jaren maar ik had nog geen review geplaatst.

Gisteren probeerde ik een nieuw instrument uit (akoestisch, met piezo).
Het klonk heel erg ok, ik miste alleen net dat laagje openheid en warme helderheid.
Wat bleek?
De sunday driver stond per ongeluk niet in de S-stand.
Het subtiele verschil tussen ok en de zon breekt door.

Te gekke pre-amp booster. Gebruik hem om het wat zwakke output signaal van mijn piezo element van mijn nylon snaar gitaar te versterken. Is echt helemaal cleane boost. Ik gebruik ook de Xotic Rcbooster maar deze is voor deze toepassing beter, je kunt meer boost geven zonder oversturing.
Sunday mode maakt naar mijn smaak de sound net iets te donker, is misschien wel goed voor gitaren /piezo met een scherpe,neuzige klank of steelstrings.
Door deze versie met de switch kan ik hem ook gebruiken voor mijn andere gitaren als cleane booster voor solo's.
