The Nordvang 83 Drive v2.5 is an all analog, custom-made, dual overdrive guitar pedal, and the ultimate tone machine, providing a variety of delicious sounds for any rig. It can be used as an always-on drive, to a mid-boosting lead tone, and everything in between. This is Nordvang's take on the legendary Klon style overdrive, plus the Black Box Blues Breaker. It features two independent overdrives, giving you two sought-after, classic sounds, favored by many guitarists, all in one enclosure.

The Nordvang 83 Drive v2.5 update…

  • By popular demand in 2021, the 83 Drive v2.5 now features a TRS split function to use with pedal looper systems like the GigRig, etc. The TRS split is enabled via 3 internal dip switches.
  • To make room for the dip switches for the TRS split functionality, Nordvang reduced the number of switching options for tweaking of the BB side (side A), compared to the v1 of the 83 Drive. Side A now features a stock, and an alternate setting, for each of the 2 parameters: Hard-clipping, and gain. And 3 settings for the soft clipping parameter. 
  • 83 Drive's enclosure is now finished in a fine texture powder coat.




Nordvang Custom's inspiration for the 83 Drive came from their enthusiasm for each of the two pedals used alone, and by how amazing both pedals sounded when stacked together. Both of these pedals have played a major part in the live guitar sound of John Mayer through the years, as the role of the pre-drive that he stacks into his TS10 Tube Screamer, to obtain his incredibly unique lead tone. Nordvang decided to put the number 83 in the name, as the number 83 is a significant number for John Mayer.
 
Nordvang Custom has re-created these circuits, staying true to the originals, but they made the Blues Breaker circuit true bypass, with additional switching options for tweaking, and increased the headroom up to 18 Volts (please only use a 9 volt power supply, as this feature happens internally and is automatic). Nordvang kept the buffer in on the Klon style side of the circuit.



The 83 Drive is divided into a Side A (left), and a Side B (right), separated by the order toggle switch in the middle, which flips the internal order of the effects, and hence the signal path from the guitar to the amp.


SIDE A (LEFT):

Side A features the Blues Breaker style circuit, with external knobs for GAIN, TONE, VOLUME, and a 3-position toggle switch labeled LOWS. The LOWS switch changes the bass response of the circuit. Internally, you find 4 sets of dip switches (gain, soft clipping, symmetrical/asymmetrical clipping, and hard clipping). These dip switches further enable you to tweak your tone.

Features of Side A (Left):

  • Replicate of the circuit of the first BB1, the Black Box Blues Breaker circuit.
  • Op amp supply voltage increased to 18 Volts for more headroom.
  • External 3-position lows toggle switch for extended low frequency response.
  • 4 sets of internal dip switches for extended tweaking:
    1:  Distortion/hard clipping (switch 1-2)
    2: Clean boost/Overdrive/soft clipping (switch 3-4)
    3: Symmetrical-Asymmetrical clipping (switch 5-6)
    4: Gain: Low/medium/high (switch 7-8)


SIDE B (RIGHT):

Side B features the Klon style circuit, with external knobs for GAIN, TREBLE, OUTPUT and a 2-position toggle switch labeled CLIPPING. The clipping switch toggles between a pair of germanium or schottky clipping diodes. Both sides of this pedal can be used separately, or stacked.

Features of Side B (Right):

  • Exact replica of the classic Klon circuit.
  • External 2-position Clipping switch to switch between a pair of Germanium, or a pair of Schottky clipping diodes in the overdrive gain stage.
  • The germanium diodes used are original russisk NOS D9B.
  • External switch to choose in which order the signal passes through the two circuits.

 
The Nordvang Custom 83 Drive is built using carefully selected top shelf components:

  • Vishay 1% metalfilm resistors
  • WIMA MKP10, MKS4 and FKP2 film capacitors (no electrolytes in the audio circuit)
  • VIMEX sealed potentiometers
  • Carling Footswitch
  • CKK and Taiway toggle switches
  • Pure Tone Multi-Contact 1/4" Jack
  • Silver plated teflon insulated cable for internal wiring.
  • U.S. made Davies Moulding 1470 knobs
