Warm Audio Fluff Drive (WA-FLFT) – Signature High-Gain Overdrive Pedal
The Warm Audio Fluff Drive is a limited-edition signature overdrive pedal developed in collaboration with Ryan “Fluff” Bruce, purpose-built for modern metal and high-gain guitar tones. Based on a legendary ’80s screaming overdrive circuit and heavily refined for today’s aggressive playing styles, Fluff Drive delivers tight low end, pronounced mids, and controlled saturation designed to hit the front of an amp hard. With advanced tone-shaping options and an integrated variable noise gate, it’s a focused, amp-driving tool for demanding rigs—available at Soundium.
Key Features
-
Signature high-gain voicing: Tuned with Ryan “Fluff” Bruce for modern metal, down-tuned guitars, and tight rhythm playing
-
Modded low-boost circuit: Tightens bass response for extended-range guitars and high-gain amplifiers
-
Mid Enhance with pre/post switch: Place the mid boost before or after the gain stage for flexible tonal shaping
-
Variable noise gate: Selectable gate adapts from ultra-tight rhythm tones to sustained lead playing
-
Voltage boost mode: Internal voltage doubling increases headroom and output for clearer, more powerful drive
-
Premium analog components: Built with JRC4558 op-amps, discrete transistors, JFETs, and a voltage doubler for reliable performance
Customer Benefits
The Fluff Drive helps guitarists achieve aggressive, articulate high-gain tones with consistency and control. Its refined midrange ensures guitars cut through dense mixes, while the tightened low end keeps palm-muted riffs precise. The integrated noise gate and voltage boost make it easy to adapt between studio recording, live performance, and different amplifier setups without sacrificing clarity.
