Sinvertek - Drive N5 Plus

'A DISTORTION POWERHOUSE'What was Sinvertek’s end goal when designing the 'Drive N5 Plus'? It was one that had always been clear and never lost it’s focus. The goal was that no matter which clean channel you use, on whichever amplifier, Sinvertek’s preamp pedal is able to produce the exact same drive tone as a tube amp, and the tonal detail here is incredible. For well over a decade, Sinvertek has delved deep into the mysteries behind great tone, experimenting with a vast array of guitars and tube amplifiers. After extensive testing and research, the end result is the stellar ‘Drive N5 Plus’.

Drive N5 Plus features a 100% analogue circuit based on FET technology. It consists of a highly complex drive generation circuit and a highly responsive frequency response shaping and EQ system. The signals are processed individually through these 3 parts, which results in superb frequency response, picking attack dynamic response.

The most standout feature you’re sure to notice first is that the tone here is noticeably natural, transparent and clear. In order to remain true to Sinvertek’s original goal of consistent performance across all types of clean channels, the Drive N5 Plus features superb opportunities for tweaks. The EQ here covers the entire frequency band and is able to be adjusted to your liking with its broad dynamic range.

the heart of the beast The heart of the Drive N5 Plus is comprised of the Drive Generating Stages and the Tone Shaping Network. The Drive Generating Stage features two ‘Gain Saturation’ options and three ‘Gain Structure’ options. In the Tone Shaping Network, the Drive N5 Plus offers users a choice of two frequency spectrums named ‘Tone Indestity’.

Thanks to the combination of these settings, the Drive N5 Plus is able to offer up to 12 basic drive tones of entirely different styles. These tones cover everything from AC/DC style crunch, right through to searing red hot high-gain distortion. After the tone has been generated, this is then taken to the ‘Full Frequency EQ System’ where the final touches and tweaks are added to the drive tone.

Through combining the full EQ settings and a selection of tone-related switches, users are able to create almost any drive/distortion tone imaginable and also understand the composition of the tone through the in-depth controls of the Drive N5 Plus.
