Vesper Night Drive
The Vesper Night Drive features the same super high-end, point-to-point, hand-wired circuitry you are used to seeing with Vesper, but with a slightly different circuit topography Instead of the Tremolo effect, we have added a gain stage and a Gain control knob. This allows the user to alternate between the Vesper’s characteristic clean tones and smooth, yet powerful, overdrive.

Make an appointment to visit our Tuckahoe, NY, studio. Alternatively, we can bring the amp to one of our partner stores in NYC. Contact us for details.
Features of the Vesper Night Drive
The Night Drive is an exciting new approach for Vesper. Dial in the gain, turn up the clean master Vol, select your tone and you’re in the tone zone without anything else (okay: you can add your pedals and it’ll sound sick!).

Detailed Specifications
Handmade cabinet. The unique Vesper cabinet was inspired by midcentury minimalism. It is steam-bent by hand, entirely in-house, in a process that takes over 48 hours to complete. Every Vesper is composed of high-quality Baltic birch, a dense plywood that promotes crisp, punchy tone.
Hand-wired circuit. Each Night Drive is carefully hand-wired in our workshop. Premium components and meticulous layout allow for low-noise operation and characteristic analog warmth. The Night Drive circuit is a Vesper original, so its vintage-inspired tone cannot be found in any other amp.
Power and portability. At 25 watts and 25 lbs, the Vesper offers plenty of volume and power in a conveniently-sized package. The onboard 10” alnico speaker connects with a standard 1/4” jack, so you can easily plug in any passive speaker cabinet and optionally use the Vesper as a head.
