A new drive pedal made in collaboration with the Christy Lynn Mitchell Foundation, a provider of merit scholarships for college-bound high school seniors.
3rd Power and the Christy Lynn Mitchell Foundation team up to introduce the Love Drive Pedal, a hand-built, clean-boost/preamp/drive pedal designed to create, optimize and refine your guitar signal with immersive wave-shaping 3 band EQ. The original Roosevelt Drive was inspired by the venerable Ibanez Mostortion pedal, a soft-clipping overdrive pedal that became incredibly popular with players everywhere. The goal then was to remedy the negatives; original units were expensive, hard to find, and costly to re-house in order to sturdy them up for road use.
The true-bypass, buffered input, and output (when active) allow you to place the Love Drive at the beginning, middle, or end of your chain. When active, the input buffer ensures your signal will enter the FET circuitry under optimal conditions. This ensures that the two gain stages and 3-band EQ will sound their absolute best. The output buffer means the LOVE DRIVE will drive longer cable runs while keeping your tone intact. When cascading with other dirt pedals, the dual buffer stages of the LOVE DRIVE will ensure that your tone soars without collapsing into itself due to mismatches in circuitry.
Features
- Through-hole construction
- Critical amp-style components
- Wave-shaping 3-Band EQ (Controls include: Drive, Level, Bass, Middle and Treble)
- Soft-touch Foot-switch for True-Bypass Operation
- Top mounting Input, Output and Power Jacks
- Limited Lifetime Warranty
Street prices for the LOVE DRIVE will be around $279 and are available now in limited edition matte black, and gloss white heart graphic enclosures.

On this Wong Notes, the legendary Doobie Brother, Steely Dan member, and session weapon talks the science of music and how to defuse conflictāwhether on the world stage or in the sound booth.
āSkunkā Baxter has had an interesting career. The Washington, D.C.-born musician was one of Steely Danās founding members in the early 1970s, and played on some of their most iconic numbers, like Canāt Buy a Thrillāsā āReelinā in the Yearsā and āDo It Again,ā or Pretzel Logicās āRikki Donāt Lose That Number.ā Then, he moved on to join the Doobie Brothers, from roughly 1974 to 1979, where he fatefully invited Michael McDonald into the band. After that stint, he became a go-to session player for artists like Rod Stewart, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, and Donna Summer, and a touring performer for Elton John and Linda Ronstadt, among others.
That was just the beginning. Baxterās interest and background in electronics, science, and recording technology gained him a position in the U.S. defense industry. Turns out, a lot of digital music gear shared similar principles with emergent defense tech. āBasically, a radar is just an electric guitar on steroids,ā says Baxter, noting the same four fundamental forces at work over everything in our universe.
Wong and Baxter trades notes on how to navigate studio sessions (āJust shut the hell up,ā offers Baxter), early conversions of pitch into digital signals, and how Baxter cut his solo on Donna Summerās āHot Stuffā on a $25 guitar. And can mediating between artists and producers feel like high-stakes hostage negotiations? Sometimes. Tune in.
