Overview

What We Say:

The LG stands for Low Gain. This is a custom-shop version of the Direct Drive but with a new gain circuit that is much lower and smoother than the original. It was designed to give the vintage, smooth, rich tones of yesteryears whilst maintaining the clarity and punch of the original Direct Drive.

What They Say:

”…The Direct Drive LG is an “ultimately vintage sounding” version of the Direct Drive, this smooth/sweet version of the Direct Drive was born from a custom order in our custom shop. In Ronni’s customary way he took the challenge to devise a gain scheme that would keep the cool British character of the Direct Drive, while dialing the sound in to just that classic early era of days gone by, where British amps had tube rectification and a sweeter presentation that delivered dynamics and tone; over gain, volume and crunch. Ronni took the custom shop treatment a step further with some nice grey knobs and Green LED to offset the new cool character of this tone connoisseur’s version of the classic Direct Drive.

All the snarl, but clearer and even sweeter with a low gain structure for the “dialed in dynamics player…”
