ORIGIN EFFECTS Revival Drive Compact
SAMPLE SETTING 1
PUSHED PLEXI
The quintessential sound of rock! Modelled on an original JMP Super Lead, get ready for cutting attack from the cranked presence control and a characteristically tight low-end.
SAMPLE SETTING 2
TWEED TWIN
Tweed amps are known for their raw, snarling drive with a satisfying low end growl. Turn down the LOWS control to noon for more of a Blackface Twin sound.
GET CONNECTED
- INSTR – Plug in your guitar or other instrument.
- AMP – Connect to amp, power amp, mixer or recording interface.
- 9VDC – Insert 9VDC 2.1mm center-negative power supply (minimum 100mA).
MATCH THE CONTROLS
Match the pedal controls to the image here as a starting point for setting up your tone.
SET THE POST-DRIVE EQ
Set the POST-DRIVE EQ to suit your application.
Guitar amp or amp modeller:
- Set the POST-DRIVE EQ switch to EQ1 for brighter sounding amps or EQ2 for darker sounding amps.
- Turn the ADJ control to fi ne-tune high-frequency response.
Power amp, recording interface or mixer:
- Set the POST-DRIVE EQ switch to P/AMP.
- Selecting the P/AMP setting disengages the ADJ control.
- Remember to use a cabinet simulator if playing through a full-range speaker system such as a PA or studio monitors.
SET YOUR OUTPUT LEVEL
SHAPE YOUR VOICE
- HIGHS – Adjust the mid and high frequencies with this preamp voicing control.
- Turn anti-clockwise to replicate the shape of a Marshall® with everything-at-noon.
- Set to the mid point for a cranked Marshall® Plexi tone.
- Turn all the way clockwise for Fender® Twin Reverb tone.
LOWS – Use the lows knob to adjust low-frequency overdrive:
- Turn up for thick, distorted low-end.
- Turn down for a tighter, controlled drive.
DIAL IN YOUR OVERDRIVE
- GAIN – Turn up and go from clean to cranked, much like turning up a classic non-master-volume amp.
- MORE/PRES – This control affects negative feedback in the output stage.
- Turn clockwise from noon to boost highs like a classic Presence knob.
- Turn anti-clockwise to reduce negative feedback, resulting in an earlier breakup.
BLEND IN YOUR DRIVE
- BLEND – Use the BLEND control to mix the overdrive and dry signals together. The pedal’s gain is simultaneously reduced as more dry signal is mixed in.
