Sunday Driver

The LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER II is a high-end preamp, buffer, and booster featuring a discrete Class-A input stage with JFET technology. It provides two modes of operation, selected by a mode selector switch with gold-plated contacts. In "D" mode, the guitar signal is amplified at the input impedance of a guitar amp, eliminating losses through leads and effects, while in "S" mode, the input impedance is multiplied by five, bringing out previously inaudible details and imparting a characteristic warmth to the guitar sound. The pedal offers a studio-standard overall dynamic range of 130 dB and can boost up to +18 dB while remaining clean and free of background noise. The input voltage is rectified from the power supply socket, filtered, stabilized, and transformed to 30 V to exploit the dynamics of tube amplifiers fully. The output can be tapped in balanced, and the pedal can be powered via phantom power, making it suitable for use as a DI box on stage or as a high-end preamp in the studio. The LEHLE SUNDAY DRIVER II has a broad output range of 20 to 100,000 Hz and can be powered by a standard 9V (PP3) battery, making it versatile for various use-cases, including stadium gigs, complex effects setups, and recording preamp applications.
