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.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!

Pedal has been awesome so far w its sonic qualities..thx! Appreciate my sales engineer Nick Barton who is always mega helpful n informed!

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 !!!

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.

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.

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
