You are wise beyond your years my friend...Great reviews and explanations. Keep up the great work
Dude, your playing is incredible and you make it look effortless...sounds killer man
Epic no nonsense review with extra added jam(jar) ... cheers chap!
I always liked Jim Campilongo's description of Negative Feedback - 'something you'd put on a questionnaire'
Haha!
Great demo Chris, I got a really good idea of the range of things it does and sounds as well. Great stuff 🤘🏻🎸👍🤘🏻🎸👍🤘🏻🎸👍🤘🏻👍🎸
Really really nice playing dude, your touch and phrasing are incredible!
Thank you for this top video!!! Greetings from Bavaria/Germany
WOW ! Excellent Demo. 1st time viewer, new subscriber. Very impressed with your control and picking.Picking control .
I have one of these and LOVE IT!
Great playing! The pedal sounds fantastic. I ordered one on Monday, super stoked to get my hands on it. 🤘
Great pedal.
1st time i have heard that box sound good... Chris' playing is getting sweeter and tastier at an exponential rate
great playing!
Great touch.
Chris you’re such a tasteful player!!
You are such a great player.
I found you and your incredible channel through that pedal show. You should come play in Austin tx.
Would love to see you play live.
Thanks for the awesome videos.
Really nice playing and great review.
Who cares about the pedal. Your playing is AMAZING 👏👏👏👏
Best OD pedal I've heard.
Nice job! I have this pedal and after weeks of fiddling... could not be more happier, it's worth it if you've got the dosh. Your Guitar Rig setup... it sounds surprisingly good.
Lets hear a tweed amp with one on it cali t.
Maestro, u sound good with a Joyo and a broom with strings......, great demo ;)
The only incredible thing here is hearing how you make that Yamaha sound clean (no disrespect to the 502T.... a respected piece no doubt, but hey... it does sound MUCH better with you than what it actually is). Great playing and great vid!!
its the best overdrive I have ever used. love my cali also.
What do you use it on a cali t.?
Had me at the clean tone!
I took one in a trade. Thought the price was absolutely ridiculous based on youtube vids. Played it. Selling other stuff.
It's the only thing that actually sounds like a loud amp when run into a not loud amp I've heard.
Ahh. But, the thing I can't seem to get anyone to tell me/demonstrate is what it's like running into an amp that's NOT totally clean. I'm always running low wattage amps on the edge of clipping.
This pedal probably isn't the right one for you then, to be honest. It takes over and becomes the sound. If you're still playing that vox in your videos, get a Bearfoot Emerald Green Silver or stick with your archer.
I didn't actually like the EDGM (either version) into my Vox styled amp (Magic Brit Mk2) ...kinda too much of a good thing frequency wise. I think you're right though. re the Revival Drive. I find the more harmonically rich pedals fare less well into amps that are offering some compression/saturation than they do into higher headroom platforms. My all time fave is my Timmy & yeah there has generally been a Klon or a Klone on the board too.
thinking a Kingsley CONSTABLE, Vemuram Shanks 4k, Van Weelden ROYAL OVERDRIVE, Jesse Davies/king tone vintage fuzz etc...
these items sound very warm and alive and lack the piercing papery tone present in the revival drive
it sounds very sweet here, however, but an amazing portion of that is in Chris's fingers (ring a ding ding)
@@Grant_Ferstat Even Better
I wish I live in that world where this was the most expensive overdrive on the market :)))
I've a Cali76 compared to my keeley the improvement in quality was night and day, the sound & control is just on a different level. Looking at the revival drive it's more a pre-amp in a box rather than a straight overdrive emulating a whole range of classic amp front ends.
Agree it's a stunning piece of audio engineering. Also agree that origin could bring out a cheaper simplified version in the future.
I love you style, dynamics and touch. Great playing! You have got to put out an Album if you don't already, Do you?
After attending the UK guitar show this weekend I can only think about Thorpy FX pedals!!!!
Very true , indeed..
Sounds bloody fantastic, Chris. So there's no denying it's ability particularly in a pro set up.
I expect the exceptional sound here is almost entirely down to the additional presence afforded by the jam jar stand. In fact I strongly suspect that similar results could be obtained by using a blues driver mounted on a sardine tin to enhance the mid push and bring the sound closer to an old 1970's Selmer transistor combo (in a cupboard, behind an ironing board).
Heard the new Slash album yet?
Wow it really sounds like an overdrive pedal :)
Holly shit your playing is great!
my one fav brad
That first chord. Could have sworn you were going to launch in to the Who's Won't Get Fooled Again.
Amp in a box? More like a half dozen amps, all done extremely well! The price is a bit out of my meager budget, so I doubt I'm going to pick one up any time soon...but I wouldn't turn down the chance to play around with one for a few years, just to give an honest assessment of course ;-)
Could you use this in a gain stack? I have so many drives that I love to use (King of Tone, Duelist, the Dude, Tim Pierce Custom Drive, Bluesbreaker mk1 .... I’ve just bought the Rivival and keen to hear if anyone has theirs stacked with other drives?
This pedal with the footswitch and the GFI Cabzeus works well like my ampless gig core?
Chris, are you using this pedal for your strat tones as well?
No question sounds great but the controller design flaws are obvious and that price will hobble it’s chances at becoming huge....perhaps like fulltone did w the OCD future iterations will be more market suited
What’s the brand and model of those P90 type pickups on your Yamaha ?...... please let me know
Hi Chris, are you using amp simulation in Guitar rig or just an isolated cab? Thanks
Hi Chris, I'm your big fan. I'm from Brazil and I have a question. The price of guitars like fender and gibson are absurd here. I wanted to know which cheaper guitar you've played and would indicate me (I play the same musical genres as you). Preferably, a pattern, which does not need to be customized to sound good. Thank you for your attention! Forgive my poor english.
Compared with KOT which one is best ? I have to decide for one of them. KOT is with 150€ more . Worth ?
Chris,
I really think you shouldnt do pedal / gear reviews. everything sounds fricken awesome under your fingers. :)
a question on this pedal though. Given your amp, do you need this pedal?
I saw you tweaking this at Hoxton on Saturday, especially towards the end of the night iirc
They have a video (12 amps or something) and it sounds so harsh! Your video it sounds sooo warm and amazing. Not sure what they have going on the create that odd high end harshness. You sold me.
Best demo of this to date...TPS and Co, couldn’t seem to get a decent sound out of it, and your in-depth description of each function is exceptional. First demo which has made me make an informed opinion on this. I would say it was for the player who has just a couple of pedals at any one time. Too much tweaking required for my OCD mind, it would drive me crazy...You still sound like Chris Buck, regardless of which gear your using though. I still maintain that with great players like yourself, tone is in the hands, whilst the rest of us constantly try to emulate it through those little boxes of magic down by our feet. 😏
Frank Mchale Mick’s not a favorite of mine. As former editor of guitarist mag what a tool. Dan is a nice guy. I won’t get into details but you wouldn’t believe it anyway.
Frank Mchale then they can’t handle a not that complicated pedal. It’s not that difficult.
A really well-done video, right to the point. Gives us all a good overview of the Revival. Have been following the Revival's debut like many others. The point about the plethora of knobs is well taken, although I can also see wanting to have them all in order to tweak away. As for cost, I'm sure that reflects the parts and R&D that went into it's design. It is what it is. Origin has a deservedly good reputation as a pedal builder/designer and Chris rightly mentions Origin's Cali76 compressor. There are overdrives that are designed specifically to work well with any amp. Personally, my favorite is the Blackstone Appliances Mosfet Overdrive (blackstoneappliances.com). A lot fewer knobs (!) and, IMHO, a better sounding pedal at the end of the day. For me, when everything is said and done, it's sound and sonics, not cost, or knobs is the deciding factor when shelling out money for any pedal. I'm sure the Revival will do well commercially. However, I'm not convinced by it's sonics.
3.12 I thought it sounded better with the pedal off! It does sound like a marshall though..
I thought you were going to play “Won’t get fooled again” with that first chord!
OK, that's a perfect amp in a box... But a have a great amp... so I don't need it. I have the Cali76 deluxe and is great, expensive too but I love it.
If a person could afford this do you think it is worth having in Your Arsenal appreciate your comments thanks
In case you don't have enough money for this I advise a Dirty Shirley pedal.
It seems like it can shape the breakup really nicely but at the same time, my Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor sounds even better, costs less and only needs 3 knobs. Still though I must admit that for a pedal the RevivalDrive does sound amazing.
8:30-That would be articulation.
jltrem Haha. You’re not wrong!
And I wish I could articulate the fret board with a tenth of your ability. Hell, a twentieth.
Just bought the compact used a few days ago. I'm actually already having buyers remorse and I haven't even received it. I was looking for something clean that I could get drive, not really a drive that I could clean up. I was intending on getting an Ethos clean II, but a situation that necessitated having something before Labor Day made that an impossible option unless I wanted to spend absurd money.
I put a real low-ball offer in a half-hearted attempt never thinking id actually get it…that was a miscalculation. I probably could have rescinded it but I hate when people do that. I wish it had a couple partners the big one does, but another channel for a different rectifier seemed like too much.
But will it djent?
My Shin´s Music Dumbloid was mores expenssive.. lol
I am disappointed it doesn't have enough knobs, switches and buttons. I think it needs about 11 more.
It seems complicated and a tweaking nightmare but it really becomes quite simple after you learn there are just basic adjustments and some of the EQ front toggles only work on EQ2 setting, the rest is just simple tweak to what you are looking for in a very real amp sounding platform, the two sides are just duplicate so right off the controls are halfed! I dig mine, while I still like messing with other pedals this puppy is a core center of my sound and is never going anywhere. Is it worth the bucks, well to some who like cheap pedals obviously not, but if you want the best and can afford it you are not going to ever outdo this analog wonder!
Paul's GuitarStudio I agree it’s pretty simple to figure out.
Paul's GuitarStudio plus there’s some used, mint ones for those that got scared by a not that complicated pedal. If guitarists can handle kempers and the Helix than why not this? It’s really not that difficult. Computers, audio interfaces, daws, plug ins etc. are confusing yet nobody complains about that. Remember when we plugged a guitar into an amp and a guitar cabinet with a few pedals?
Does it run on 9v or wall wart power?
Carmelo Santini a regular 9 volt adapter.
@@Utubewrk123 Thanks, have you tried it at a higher voltage?
Carmelo Santini oh I miss understood it’s like 3am. I’m half asleep. No never played it at higher voltage.
@@Utubewrk123 You understood, I just was curious after that if you had tried at 12 15 or 18 v.... thanks for the reply!
This pedal sounds amazing
BUT
Any amp or pedal with more than 3 or 4 knobs and switches scares the hell out of me, Id have to hire some sort of pedal tech/guru just to set it up for me every time I played. Needless to say its not for me.
Just to clear my conscience, I want you to know I've totally been ripping off your half step slide up/back pull off technique you do.
I feel better.
George Hale - I never had interest in learning major scale licks until I heard this guy. I take inspiration from him as much as I can... which is made harder since he’s started making it difficult to see his left hand. :)
@@BaronsDuju I've been going down the major scale rabbit hole for the past year and it's seriously addicting. It's really fun to play more melodically after primarily playing minor/blues stuff for years. Chris's playing is definitely inspiring. When if he is becoming stingy with the goods lol.
George Hale - same! I’m loving the major scale for exactly the same reasons after being stuck in the same minor scale pentatonic rut. I somehow even use more of the fretboard now. Please, feel free to share more videos here (or message me) with more youtubers using tasteful major scales.
In exchange - and I’m sorry, this is another minor scale video - look up “psychedelic pickup Seymour Duncan”. There’s a super cool video on the Seymour Duncan channel with a guy demo-ing the pickups with good angles showing some great licks that might tickle your fancy. :) I spent a couple of hours one night on that one video and I swear it changed how I play entirely.
could you review the Yamaha thr10 ?? like that would be the greatest thing ever
even just a video of you playing the amp would be awesome, i want to see if a 300$ amp can sound good
Hows about doing some phrasing techniques man? soulful and full of taste are your plays man!!!
Rolex?
There's no denying it sounds great, but it suffers from Strymon syndrome of being so complicated it gives us mere mortals/less capable guitar players a headache and makes us want to run home to mum
A lot of the tweaking is a way of getting it dialed to your amp, granted that will take you a while and a degree of work on depending on your experience with your own gear. If your not porting it between amps you shouldn't need to do any more to it than a normal overdrive
Snip Snap Doggo that wouldn’t stop me. I had the Strymon Riverside that was quite easy. Took a minute or two to get the footswitch secrets. If I can figure out the kemper, the Helix
the hd300 ugh that ones in the closet collecting dust and the atomic amplifier and everything else I’m positive u can too. Don’t sell yourself short.
Snip Snap Doggo I got one and it is very easy to figure out.
It's made for guys like me who loves options and too many knobs 😂😂😂
I'm very impressed with what I see and after buying an Origin Cali76 compact deluxe and being super impressed with it, I was very tempted to order a revival drive. But at this point in my life I opt for simple and easy to dial in gear. I've had complicated gear in the past and have the skills to get what I want and the fact I bought a compressor with lots of options seems to contradict this but I'm happy with transparent drives that don't change the character or color my amp to much rather than a pedal that can give me a myriad of sounds.
Owned one and sold it about 4 months later. Sorry the thing just isn't as good as the marketing wave is making you think. It doesn't react with other pedals well at all. I'm glad I got rid of it tbh my tone has improved since.
it also doesn't sound as good as a real marshall amp being used at lower volumes...bleh....ghosting knob was pretty cool. Other than that, just a cool looking but fizzy pedal that wants to be on it's own board all alone. trying to use it with a compressor is worthless
It definitely isn’t fizzy. I haven’t found that to be anywhere near what I am getting from it. The thing I miss is I would prefer more gain and a little more sponginess. Even if I don’t use it with my amps it’s staying because of the way it enhances the kemper. Which I think is made out to be better then it is. Until I plugged this into it.
@@levipearlman1059You should check out the Doug and Pat show review of this pedal. They review vintage guitars and amp all the time and both were impressed by this pedal when running it though a Fender blackface deluxe on clean. Doug gets the Clapton Beano tone plus Paul Kossoffs tone on Alright Now which is impressive.
It’s like buying wheels for your car.... that cost the same as your car!
Sounds nice, but I get the same sound with my Boss BD-2.
Uriah Bennett hmm doubt it. No offense.
See the problem with your gear reviews is that your playing is too damn distracting. I can never remember anything about the gear and I come off watching a vid just thinking "damn this guy is a crazy good guitarist." Gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME for every single piece of gear you've reviewed. But meh, I can get the details from other less talented youtube reviewers. As always, I stay for the guitar playing.
Alex Saltarin First time I've visited this channel and I agree, I'm spending most of my time wondering what he's doing with his right hand!
Chris, I hate when you demo gear and I mean that in a good way. I loose track of the exercise and get lost in your playing every time.
Will skip this one, i have a Kemper 😀
Schnitzel Pommes I have a Kemper too. I still want one of these 😂
Schnitzel Panic plug it into it kemper and it comes alive in my experience with it. Sounds and feels better especially with the high gain channels.
Stuart Caldwell I just said to the guy above I have a kemper too and wasn’t using it. Plugged this into it and it really enhances it.
Overpriced and sounds the same as any high quality OD out there. WAY too many controls as well. Marketing and cork sniffery at its best. Sounds great, but again, MANY other OD's do it just as good for much less. You could get an all valve amp for the price of this thing.
kommi1974 wrong. Very very wrong. Watch Pete Thorn’s video and the ones done by Simon. This thing is light years beyond other OD pedals.
kommi1974 I thought the same thing. And then I saw a used mint one at a lower price. Sold a bunch of pedals. I was a pedal addict. This seems to have stopped that altogether. It isn’t like a regular pedal. Takes a short time to get your sound. I use it with a slightly crunchy amp to get a higher gain sound but it sounds like other amp as well. It makes regular pedals sound thin and weak. Also, stuck it in front of a kemper which I never liked and it enhances the tone and feel. It handles high gain and it does that to your amps too. FYI I could not afford this type of gear for years. I’ve been playing since I was a kid and worked my way up with playing and better gear. Not rich just saved and worked and did a lot of selling as I said and trading up.
kommi1974 it’s simple to use. If u can’t figure this out well. Tbh how are u figuring out ur amp and pedals. This is incredibly easy. Not sure why so many are scared off by the knobs.
