Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE User Manual

Welcome to the RevivalDRIVE
The RevivalDRIVE is a dual-channel overdrive pedal that accurately recreates a
wide range of classic, non-master-volume valve amp tones, including distinctive
power amp sag and “ghost tone” effects.
Under the hood, it contains a complete and unabridged valve amp-style signal path, with
simulated preamp, phase inverter, power amp and rectifier stages. By successfully
recreating the sophisticated interaction of these stages – and by imitating the complex
relationship that exists between an amplifier and its mains power supply – the
RevivalDRIVE puts incredible tone-shaping power at your disposal.
At the same time, the RevivalDRIVE incorporates a range of controls that will tailor its
response to suit the amp you’re plugging into. Unlike the vast majority of overdrive pedals,
the RevivalDRIVE is genuinely designed to sound fantastic with any amp.
In short, we believe that this is the best-sounding, most flexible overdrive pedal
ever created.
It is, however, a fairly complex device. We invite you read through this manual so you can
gain a full understanding of all it can do. But if you can’t wait, by all means skip ahead to
the example settings on page 20 and start playing!
