The Billy Sheehan Signature Drive deluxe is the new extended version of the previous signature model, also released by and available from ebs. It is a complete analog design with exceptional features to turn it into your own 'signature' pedal. It is developed by ebs in close co-operation with billy himself.

More gain. The new Billy Sheehan Drive Deluxe offers significant more gain than the original version. It is also equipped with a Boost footswitch for the Drive to really push the gain to the extreme when needed. The level of boost can be adjusted internally by a trim pot.

Phase inverter switch. This new feature changes the character of the sound a lot. By activating the inverted phase you will notice significant more low-end when using the drive compared to the original pedal.

Swappable op-amp. There are a lot of drive pedals that are considered to be classics. Many of them use some variation of a standard type of op-amp circuit design called an 8-pin dual inline op-amp. The new EBS Billy Sheehan Signature Drive Deluxe offer the user the ability to change this chip to one that offers different characteristics to the Drive effect. A list of suitable chips will be listed on the EBS website, and there might be a few different EBS branded chips coming later as well. The chip is accessed easily by removing the bottom plate of the pedal. Its attached to the board by an IC-standard socket, and does not require any soldering to be swapped.
