Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE Killer Tones - Demo by Simon Gotthelf
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- It’s the first ever overdrive from Origin Effects - and the first overdrive of its kind, ever! That’s because the RevivalDRIVE houses a complete valve amp-style signal path recreated using all-analogue electronics. It accurately delivers a wide range of British and American amp tones, from clean to fully cranked, with the ability to dial in exactly the drive characteristics and dynamic response you desire.

The melody to the opening song was so beautiful I had to listen to it a couple of times before I could watch the demo! Well done indeed! Oh yeah, the pedal is great too, but loved the song!
Stan Esposito I really appreciate your kind words Stan. Thank you. I was trying to make a melodic song so you could hear the pedal without too many notes flying around. I am pretty happy with the way it came out. Cheers Simon
Amen Brother! Your playing is beautiful and soulful. Lovely singing tone from the place it all starts.....heart!
Fran Kardos Thank you very much
Gorgeous tones. Obviously this vid will sell a lot of units - congratulations. Lovely playing too - thanks for sharing your prodigious talent.
Edward Cox Thank you Edward. I hope they sell a lot of units so we can get a lot more reviews from guys using the pedal in different genres and with different amps. It is a great new way of designing a guitarpedal. Very inspiring. Cheers
Amazing pedal and another excellent video Simon... More Overdrive to You !!!
Kev Rochlin ha ha yes more overdrive to everyone 😊 thank you
Great demo! You deserve way more views. All demo's are spot on sounding and you respond on all comments. Keep it up.
Big fan of Origin Effects; will definitely check this out. As always, fantastic playing and awesome demo!
Marco Saporito Thanks Marco. Part two will be out tomorrow. Revival Drive with a Marshall JMP, a Solidstate amp, direct recording with Impulse Respone and a closer look at some of the special features I didn´t cover in video 1. Cheers
Simon,
I purchased the RD because of your video. You certainly did it justice! Always great tone no matter the product you’re showcasing. I love the RD! Game changer IMO. Cheers my friend!
Gary Jarvis Thank you so much Gary, I am glad you got your RD and like it. It is definetly a game changer like you say. Pedal of the year(s) for me 😊 cheers
Beautiful sound.
You make some high quality reviews/demos!
I bought the Xotic RV-60 pickups because of you.
Thanks a bunch.
Jan Borromeo Thank you Jan. Hope you like those pickups. And this Revival Drive is just crazy good My go-to overdrive. Cheers Simon
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos I do! I had my dream Strat made from my American Standard Stratocaster. I equipped the neck with SS Frets and custom Bone nut paired with a Daphne Blue Warmoth body, blend kit, and RV-60 pickups!
Killer guitar.
I’ve been watching tons of videos of this overdrive and mine is arriving tomorrow.
How long have you been playing? You demonstrate such amazing guitar prowess!
Jan Borromeo I have been playing for 32 years now without getting older ;)
The pedal is perhaps over designed for the mere reason that it can be adjusted to do just about anything to sound good with any amp or indeed create your optimal tone spectrum on an impossible amp. And if you think any pedal has ever been an "amp-in-a-box" or sounds and feels like a real amp this puppy is just unreal. Expensive to be sure but there is a reason why the best is what it is. I can't say I will ever have a board w pedals that cost anywhere near this much, but this one is a very cool core basis for my rig. And yes YT is what it is and listening on a cell phone is pretty much a bad thing anyway you stack it. All I can say is sounds and does things like you will never hear on this medium. Amazing pedal to be sure.
That sounds wonderful on every setting..
My thoughts exactly when I first plugged it in :) Thank you
Your playing is a big factor of course too Simon. Your approach in terms of the guitar and phrasing choices helps to show the utility of things like the voicings, mid boost and blend bypass. Very cool.
That is why I try to do so I am glad it seems to work
That segment from about 8:09 to 8:30 with the footswitch options blew my mind, wow!
Homeworld Music Thank you 🙏 yeah it is awesome with all the options. A lot of sounds in that box. Cheers Simon
Hej Simon! Great demo but the playing/composition is what really gets to my heart.
Mats Nermark thank you Mats 👍
Hi Simon,
a great video and demo of the RV! Congrats!
Really I didn´t want to believe it, but after sucking all the videos online I had to get one of these incredible pedals. And, yes, it´s truely amazing!!!
Looking forward to hear from the Carl Martin Playback.....
Phil from Germany
Doc P Hi Phil. Thank you :) You are right, it is hard to believe but it really is that good. I think this is the pedal that every new overdrive will be compared to. It is just a new and much more in dept way of designing an overdrive. Playback will hopefully be released very soon. Cheers
Thats a badass drive right there! NICE.
Glistening Kabana YES! 😊
And a great demo by yourself! Well done.
Glistening Kabana thanks a lot. Part 2 is on the way
Great review, as always! You had some Eric Johnson vibe in your solo IMO.. I like it a lot :)
Thank you very much. Eric is a big hero of mine...those pentatonic runs and his melodic approach...that´s real music to me
Thanks for making this for us. I can say with my whole heart that this is fabulous guitar tone and technique and it's making magically wonderful music.
Ok, so on one hand you may be critical that there's a mix of direct, unsympathetic, (or 'complimentary' styling), but distinct riff lifts, rather than nods to those unmistakable guitarists, and quite a few to boot.
However, I think this is so sensitivity and expertly done that it's worthy of praise. Name one guitarist that doesn't copy another?
Thank you :)
Mannnnn your playing is the best
A demo recording direct into an audio interface or using it with a FRFR amplified/active speaker cabinet or direct into solid state and tube power amplifier fx returns would be great to see and hear. I personally like the layout of the Empress Effects Multidrive maybe partnered with the Neunaber Iconoclast or DSM Noisemaker Omnicabsim to quickly adjust your tone vs having an endless choice of impulse responses.
Yes I agree. I will include a direct recording in my next video using an IR. Works great. I don´t have a FRFR active speaker in my studio, but I can show recordings using a Marshall, Vox, direct with IR, direct with speaker sim..many things. Right now I am using the Revival into my JMP Marshall on 2. Revival makes it sound like the amp is on 10 (11 really)
what a great piece of music!
Javi Valdi Thank you :)
Thanks for the demo Simon. Hard to appreciate all the sonic nuances of this premium drive pedal with the compression algorithm used by UA-cam whilst listening on a mobile/cell phone’s speaker. Maybe too much going on with this pedal much like using a Chase Bliss pedal. Awesome products aimed at tone tweaking aficionados with deep pockets, players searching for their perfect tone. If it was much cheaper I would put it on my wish list. What did catch my eye is the Carl Martin Playback loop pedal. Is that a new forthcoming product or an old discontinued one?, as I couldn’t find it on the Carl Martin website or via a Google search. I have seen other UA-cam content creators/music gear reviewers/influencers use loopers in demos but not often enough as most seem to try and hilight their playing skills with the product being there for the ride, so top marks for your technique used so the viewer gets a better grasp on the pedals capabilities.
Thank you Richard. The Carl Martin Playback is a new product (this is a prototype) out soon. I don´t have the exact date, but it is in production. It works great and I will make a complete demo of it - it has some cool features and is very simple to use at the same time. Thanks again. Cheers Simon
wow !!! nice demo
Geek Attitude Thanks man :)
Awesome - nice job Simon & OE!
Thank you :) Let´s spread the word about this awesome pedal
Most definitely EJ tone . . nice demo.
DrRussPhd Thanks man, EJ tone....that is legendary....but I don´t mind if you say so :)
Hats off Buddy....you sound really grrreat!!!!
Azhar Kamal thanks man. I appreciate it 👍
Another fantastic demo Simon.:)
MrLespaul2000 Thank you very much
The only thing Origin left off this pedal was external switching ability so that one can also change channels as well as the Mid-Boost and Dry Mix -Kill all with an external switching system such as "The GigRig 2 , RJM , or other similar devices. This would be the next logical function to add to this pedal . I contacted Origin through their website begging them to add this function ! This would make this pedal prefect. All who would like this function on this pedal please contact Origin , as I did, and beg them to add this one more function to this fine pedal !
Hey, Dave! As you may have seen, we have implemented this change last minute. Every RevivalDRIVE will now include the ability to switch its channel remotely from a switcher via our Switcher Interface box. You read more about it on our blog: origineffects.com/2018/05/18/revivaldrive-remote-switcher/
It’d be great for you to use a SlideRig in front of it, that’s my plan 👌🏻
There’s another idea of a demo for yourself and Origin Effects 😉
Amazing playing! Very Vai but a lot going on there!
Thank you. Vai is cool so I am ok with that :)
You should definitely have some money from Simon @ Origin. This wonderful piece of music made me buy one! :-D
Staffan Carlsson Great to hear that Staffan. I hope you like it as much as I do 🤘 cheers Simon
At 8:43 that's the best neck single coil tone Simon's ever had. Awesome
Thank you Sir :)
That is the Xotic strat with RV singlecoil 😊
Dammit, i didnt want this pedal. My wallet hates this video. Awesome tones and playing!
Sarasin Kananond Sorry about that LOL. I know that Feeling :) Thanks
I am a bit late but I just bought one because of your demo. I play only at home...
Jacques Bureau It is never too late to buy the best drive pedal on the marked. It is by far my personal favorite overdrive. Cheers Simon
@@SimonGotthelfMusic You should make a demo with the used direct to the interface with the use of IRS cabs
Jacques Bureau min 8:25 in this video :) ua-cam.com/video/PCvYh6TzOac/v-deo.html
Really a beautiful device design. Wish i could afford/justify the price.
CentaurusRelax314 yes it is... awesome and expensive... but mostly awesome 😊
Costs almost twice my Katana head.... Wonder how it sounds through solid state.
Great demo, sir.
CentaurusRelax314 thank you :) sounds great through a solid State amp. Tried it through a ST poweramp yesterday and it is killer. Cheers
Thanks.
I just subscribed! Not sure how i hadn't seen your channel before today....
CentaurusRelax314 I am very happy to have you onboard 👍
Great, great review. Not easy to do a good review of this pedal if you don´t understand it well!
Davo Garcia Thank you very much.
I think it is the best overdrive / amp in a box I have ever tried.
Cheers Simon
@@SimonGotthelfMusic To said that more than a year after you made the review is a lot to say! I have one and it´s simply the best (and I have KOT/Duellist/Jan Ray...).
Greetings and thanks for the excellent video!
One drive to rule them all
PRS8124 exactly 😊
Com'on man, you got this one, that's so awesome!
Thanks for this review, I can't think about any pedal sounding that good.
How does this compares to a Cornish?
Hettar Strat thanks man. It is awesome 😊 very different in design and functions compared to Cornish. And sound is different too. Quality is right up there. I would say Cornish is different in sound overall - The Revival can re-create the awesome sound of the classic non Master volume amps. And you can dial it in to match any amp. So many special features on the RevivalDRIVE. Cornish is more like adding a boost or germanium drive to your amp.
Cheers
Thank you very much ! One last thing, is it True or buffer Bypass?
Hettar Strat the website says “ High-quality “signal-conditioning” bypass mode”...signal feels like running straight into out amp when the pedal is off. Cheers
What is the name of the goldtop superstrat you were playing? Great video and nice playing!
It is a Rahbek guitar with Dimarzio Anniversary pickups. A very good guitar IMO. Thank you :)
Amazing demo Simon, really interested to how this compares to your Cornish in your opinion.
Marc Walters Thank you very much Marc. Very different actually. The RD is the most versatile overdrive I have ever tried. And it is the one I use every day. I love the Cornish pedals but they have their own flavor they add to your amp tone. The G2 is that germanium drive and sounds killer - just great and the CC-1 is really transparent overdrive and amazing quality too. To me the RD is more a “fantastisk amp in a box”. I haven´t really used anything else after I got the RD (overdrives that is). Cheers
@@SimonGotthelfMusic Well after watching part 2, I'm completely sold. So so versatile, I've got a few great amps...Lazy J20, Matchless Nighthawk and Hi-tone Lowatt....looks like this is a fantastic pedal to use with all three. Thanks again for your reply and demos...they always cost me a small fortune :)
Marc Walters Ha ha sorry about that but thanks 😊 I am sure the RD will be killer with those amps too. It works into any amp I have tried. Cheers Simon
@@SimonGotthelfMusic so is there a scenario in which you would use your RD and a Cornish together?
Thanks!
Nicholas Rhoades Hi Nicholas. Not together like “both on at the same time” but a pedalboard with both pedals on would be nice. Different flavors is always cool. I use amps for most of my tone and I just want something that will enhance what I already have so I use Origin stuff more and more. Cornish I use when I want to add a flavor to my tone and nothing beats the Cornish pedals if that´s what you want. The CC-1 is different though because it is so transparent - it is the Cornish pedal I have used the most and it was my main drive for many years. Cheers
Cool sound! ...thanks for the video: good work!
The guitar is recorded directly in the console? ...whether the cabinet or simulator was used?
My pleasure :) I am glad you like it. Cheers
Guitar is recorded into the Komet60 amp with a 412 cab and mics. But I am recording the pedal right now using a speaker sim and trying different Impulse responses too. Works great
... one more question, what dynamics are in the cabinet?
Thank you! ))) ...I really liked your sound ...cool !!!
Юрий Товстоган speakers are old Celestion 30W
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos I'd love to see a demo of that !!!
How is it when played direct with the ADA Cab Simulator?
EverettDudgeon138 works great. I will do a quick clip in my next demo with the Revival. Cheers
Hi Simon, your playing is awesome and incredibly killer-rock and melodic at the same time. Please, I seem this Origin Drive can cover a lot of colours I’ve listened in the Koda Drive... Its my opinion or really sounds in this way?
Thank you very much. I agree the Revival can cover some of the sounds from the KODA pedal, but not all. The KODA sounds a bit like a Komet amp and that is awesome. The Revival sounds great through a Komet too and can cover a lot of sounds from the classic amps like marshall, vox and fender blackface... Both pedals are really great. Cheers Simon
That is a killer pedal I've been looking at the compact version sound amazing also. Have you tried it yet? If so is it as versatile as yours?
Hi Simon, would you agree if I said that the Revival Drive is better for guitars with humbuckers than single coils?
Does it dent? :)
Seriously can it push modern metal gain?
only1symo ha ha no sorry, it will do many things but not scooped metal gain. It is the classic amps you can dial in. Cheers
Simon Gotthelf Gear Demos - bugger then the search goes on (probably stopping at amptweaker.
@@only1symo I dont see why it cannot be done. This was designed to do all forms of gain. And metal is not necessarily scooped. Only a few mids cit just a bit either in fx loop live or while mixing the audio
Hi Simon, great playing and awesome review. Would you recommend this for gigging purposes (Revival as the main amp) with a Torpedo CAB? Thanks in advanced.
Rafo Bigotti Thank you :) Definetly, though I haven´t tried the new torpedo cab I am sure it is great. It would make a nice little setup with some killer tones. I have to try that myself :) Cheers Simon
Hi
Would this work with good results with roland jc 40???
Nice video I'm tempted
It has been a very long time since I played a JC (and never with this pedal), but I have not yet played an amp that this pedal didn’t work with. I al guessing yes 😊 Cheers
Yea, great sounding pedal...now, tell me about that Carl Martin Playback pedal that I can't seem to find listed ANYWHERE...LOL
Thank you - RevivalDrive is King!. Carl Martin Playback will be out very soon but I don´t have the exact date yet. This is a prototype and it is a great pedal...demo soon :)
Thanks for the info. ...I'm still waiting for my KODA pedal... ;)
Great pedal too for sure. Very different from this one though they have some similarities in the output section. This pedal is one (or two) step further when it comes to matching your amp and selecting US or GB voicing and stuff like that. But again the KODA is great too..Cheers
Any news on the carl martin playback yet??? When is demo planned - Really interested in it!
Lee Mckenna Out within the next week. Monday I will upload Carl Martin Surf Trem Video (also featuring the playback) and next is the Looper video. Cheers
Amp in an analog pedal like this or amp sim with IR? Wich do you prefer?
Nicolás Gs Two different things so for me it depends on how I want to use it.
Studio use IRs are awesome and you can change IRs in the mix for different sounds. That’s is cool. However you can also spend a million hours changing IRs and never getting anywhere. Because of the endless options.
Sometimes it is better to record your guitars and move on. Print guitars to track and stick with the recording. Sometimes it is more “musical”.
And that is why a device like this can be great in the studio too.
For live there is no doubt that an analog pedal like this is just awesome.
This pedal has been roadtested and FOH just love it because it sounds great and is consistant. Same sound every night and no mics moving around. Killer.
But if I could have my own favorite IR in a box with load for my amp and my favorite Abbey Road Reverb... that will happen someday 😊
great sounding drums :-) what do you use for drums and what effects to sounding so real. thanks !!!
HEGuitarTracks Hey and thank you 😊 I use superior drummer from toontrack and a drumbus plugin called supercharger to make it a little tighter (it was a free plugin when I got it). I sometimes add waves Abbey Road Reverb. Cheers
zwow. how much?
Stephen Chow $529
Stephen Chow it’s just too much. I even have my limits. It’s more than some small lunchbox amps.
Urite Sosorri it has way more control than a lunch box amp AND it even sounds better than lunch amps at the same price range direct in
Wow
How’s this vs. the koda? Reaction to playing dynamics in particular. Thanks
I love the KODA hands down but to be honest nothing beats the Revival Drive IMO. I use it every day. Cheers
Thanks.
Wow.. so tasty
Interlaced video :-(
Benjamin Spence ?
... nice but too expensive ...
Hi!. Did you use a compressor, or the unit compress the hell out of it?. Sadly, it seemed the pedal sucked guitar's tone, and impossed its own.
Would this pedal sound good going through a Mesa Triple Rectifier using a PRS Tremonti USA signature? I'm curious about this. I play metal but am looking for a good pedal for leads
Honestly I don´t know Kevin. I have not tried it through a Mesa amp yet. It is not a "Metal-pedal" but it will probably be great for adding some extra crunch and bite for leads. Cheers
