The sound and feel of the near-mythical Dumble amplifiers in an affordable pedal.
The Cleveland Music Co. Heights Dynadrive is our tribute to the timeless Zendrive. While it’s a favorite of Blues guitarists, it also makes a great medium-gain rock-n-roll overdrive with a highly dynamic touch. And if that weren’t enough, the Heights stacks really, really well with many other drive pedals; try it before or after our EastSide Overdrive.

Controls & Features
VOLUME: Sets the overall output level. There is quite a lot of output on tap, which makes the Heights a great boost option for stacking with other overdrives, or slamming the front of your favorite tube amp.
GAIN: Clockwise for more gain; counter-clockwise for less. The VOICE control interacts with the GAIN control, altering the available gain range. Pro tip: putting a boost or another drive in front of the Heights can push it even further into pleasing high-gain mayhem!
VOICE: Alters the available gain as well as bass frequencies in the gain stage. Clockwise for more; counter-clockwise for less. Experiment with the interactivity of the VOICE and GAIN controls; there are many sweet spots hidden in there!
TONE: A simple treble-rolloff. Clockwise for more apparent treble; counter-clockwise for less.
The pedal is housed in an industry standard size 125B aluminum enclosure with jacks and power on the top to help save space on your pedalboard. The aluminum knobs make the Heights Dynadrive feel rugged and refined at once. True-bypass switching.
