Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE Compact User Manual

REVIVALDRIVE COMPACT
The RevivalDRIVE Compact takes the groundbreaking circuit design found in the
original RevivalDRIVE and condenses it into a smaller, more pedalboard-friendly
package.
Housing a complete valve amp-style signal path recreated in analogue
electronics, the RevivalDRIVE Compact accurately reproduces a wide
range of classic British and American non-master-volume valve amp tones.
A streamlined set of controls makes dialling in your ideal sound easier and more
intuitive than ever before, while the powerful Post-Drive EQ lets you adjust the
RevivalDRIVE Compact to suit your preferred amp and settings, not the other way
around.
With the ability to directly shape key amp properties like preamp voicing, break-up
characteristics and low-frequency distortion, plus a built-in Blend control to mix in
your dry signal, the RevivalDRIVE Compact allows you to quickly dial in a range of
legendary amp tones or mix and match different flavours to create your own unique
sound.
