Studio-clean Buffer/Booster for Acoustic and Electric Instruments
The latest version of Lehle’s overbuilt, switchable buffer-booster is cleaner, faster, and more versatile than ever! Whether you’re searching for a studio-quality clean front end for your acoustic guitar or upright bass, or you just want a bulletproof method for driving long stage cables from your guitar to your amp without tone loss, the Lehle compact Sunday Driver SW II comes highly recommended by players at Sweetwater. An astounding 130dB of dynamic range ensures your peaks and articulations don’t get lost in translation. As its name implies, this pedal is great for playing out on Saturdays and pulling in on Sundays, giving you two input impedance options and up to +18dB of additional gain for matching your guitar to an amp or driving an acoustic/keyboard directly into a soundboard. Switchable bypass modes (buffered or true bypass) suit the Lehle Sunday Driver SW II to any performance setting you’re likely to encounter.

Hear your instrument come alive
You know what a drag a full pedalboard can put on the signal that finally gets to your amp. In a perfect world, your guitar’s signal would be just as strong and vibrant coming out of that last pedal as it is when you plug straight into your amp. Well, here’s an elegant solution that really works. Place Lehle’s Sunday Driver SW II between your pedals and your amp, choose the Driver setting, and prepare for tonal bliss — no matter how many stompboxes you’re running through. Using long cable runs? Use the Sunday Driver SW II to maintain your signal integrity. Your sound will be livelier, fuller, and more dynamic.
Not just for the stage
The Sunday Driver SW II isn’t simply a buffer box that restores the life of your tone. It’s also an excellent recording preamp — especially if you’re using guitar-modeling plug-ins inside your DAW. If you want to boost your guitar’s signal, just select the Sunday setting. You get warmth, punch, and detail plus up to +18dB of clean gain. It’s the perfect way to dial in your guitar’s signal for the stage or the studio.
