Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE User Manual

BRIGHT-CAP: This switch connects a capacitor to the VOLUME control, allowing high
frequencies to sidestep any attenuation in exactly the same way as the “Bright” switch
found on many Blackface, and Silverface, Fender amps.
•Off (centre position): No capacitor added – VOLUME control affects all frequencies.
•US mode (switch right): High frequencies see maximum gain while the low and mid
frequencies remain clean, or overdriven, depending on where the user sets the
VOLUME control. Perfect for bright, sparkly lower-gain sounds.
•GB mode (switch left): The effect is far more pronounced, with both mid-range and high
frequencies allowed to bypass the volume control. Consequently, the volume control
becomes very non-linear in operation and behaves more like a high-gain tone control.
MID BOOST CONTROLS
The RevivalDRIVE features a powerful mid-range boost that can be used to modify the
overdriven tone or provide a solo boost to help you cut through the mix. Fully variable in
both level and centre frequency, the MID BOOST can be applied to either channel or
remotely activated using the optional footswitch.
MID ASSIGN: This three-way switch applies the MID BOOST to either the VALVE
RECTIFIER channel (switch left) or the SILICON RECTIFIER CHANNEL (switch right).
With the switch in the F/SWITCH position (switch centre), the MID BOOST is deactivated
but can be switched in at any time using the optional footswitch.
Please note: in F/SWITCH mode, the MID BOOST is applied to both the DRY and O.D.
signals when activated. In all cases, the MID BOOST is not active when the pedal is in
BYPASS mode.
MID LEVEL: Sets the level of the MID BOOST, from +2 to +8.5 dB.
MID FREQ: Sets the centre frequency of the MID BOOST, ranging from 800Hz to 2kHz.
DRY GAIN CONTROL
The DRY GAIN trimmer adjusts the level of the DRY signal that is mixed with the O.D.
signal using each channel’s BLEND control.
Since the pedal’s overdrive circuitry can introduce considerable additional gain, the DRY
GAIN control allows you to effectively balance the relative levels of the DRY and O.D.
signals when using the BLEND control and the footswitchable DRY DEFEAT function (see
FOOTSWITCH below).
