Classic Cranked British Amp Tones in a Box

Xotic's tiny SL Drive amp-in-a-box effects pedal puts the soul of a cranked British stack into any amplifier. Designed to sound like a classic Super Lead from the late '60s, the SL Drive offers the same cutting and singing tone, and it reacts to your playing and volume knob adjustments just as well as those legendary amps. Internal voicing dip switches allow you to adjust the character of the pedal from Super Lead to Super Bass and more. And Sweetwater guitarists love how the Xotic SL Drive's true bypass switching keeps your tone pure.

Xotic: Boutique pedals, preamps, and more

Xotic was born in a small garage in Southern California in 1996 and quickly became known for high-quality, boutique bass guitars and bass preamps. These days, they've expanded the pedal line, crafting stompboxes that are played by some of the finest guitarists in the business. Their acclaimed AC Booster, RC Booster, and BB Preamp pedals remain some of their most popular pedals.

Xotic SL Drive Effects Pedal Features:
  • British amp-in-a-box overdrive pedal
  • Simple-to-use gain, volume, and tone controls
  • Internal dip switches change the overall character of the pedal
  • Incredibly touch responsive
  • True bypass won't color your tone when switched off
Turn any clean amp into a screaming stack of British amps.

Reviews

Xotic SL Drive
Pedal has been awesome so far w its sonic qualities..thx! Appreciate my sales engineer Nick Barton who is always mega helpful n informed!
Music background: Playn 40 yrs 4 myself, 4 the love of music!!
FANTASTIC BUY !!!
I'd been eyeing this pedal for well over a year now, and decided to finally pull the trigger. I am SO GLAD I DID ! While my tube amp has channel switching, with the SL, I can quickly go from modulated cleans to in your face English flavored distortion!
XOTIC knocks it out of the ballpark again !!! And paired with the XOTIC EP, it seriously ROCKS ! Controllable feedback at bedroom levels ? No problem! I've had all sorts of pedals over the near 50 years of playing guitar, and the XOTIC SL ranks at the top of my list of distortion/overdrive pedals. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT !
BUY IT NOW, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED !!!
Favorite Pedal on the board
I'm really liking this Pedal. But to be truthful, I have even got into changing the internal switches yet! Just enjoying the "Stock" settings.
Music background: Just for Fun.
Surprisingly good
I got this pedal as part of an amp swap with a friend. At first I told him I didn't want it, but now am very glad I got it.

This pedal really surprised me - in a very good way. The range of the dirt is excellent - from a little grit to full-throated roar. It is set on the Super Bass voice. I love how well it cleans up when rolling back the volume.

I play a PRS SE Mira through a Peavey Classic 30. The SL Drive could easily be the only drive pedal on my board. The mini footprint is nice, though it can't accept a battery.
Music background: Ancient guitarist
A must have
Absolutely love this pedal. Will admit first playing through amp I did not like it but after adjusting internal dip switches I fell in love with it. Definitely a keeper
