Get to know them!

The Friedman Motor City Drive pedal puts the touch-sensitive breakup of a Friedman tube circuit on your pedalboard. To achieve the level of response and chewy overdrive Friedman amps are known for, the company placed a 12AX7 preamp tube in the circuit of the Motor City Drive. Running at 220 volts, this tube imparts your tone with everything you love about a great cranked amp. And while it's not a micro design, for a tube-driven pedal, the Friedman Motor City Drive will fit comfortably on most pedalboards. Want to add the Friedman sound to your amp? Grab the Motor City Drive from Sweetwater today.
