This video series was what made the revival drive click for me. When I bought it originally I thought it was more of a standard but fancy overdrive pedal and so everything I played sounded shit. I randomly flung my meathooks at the dials and nothing sounded right and I became dismayed by all the knobs. Then it sat in my closet in sadness for many months. Then I tried modeling amps of technological wonder and despaired at the latency, even low latency can be soul sucking sadness. Then I came across this video and had my holy SHIT moment.. it's a vintage amp replacer. It's not that complicated when you realize the small dials are more for calibration given some amp you are jacked into. Now I can't live without it. It's a genius piece of gear. God, I almost sold it, my dumb ass finally figured out how to use it. Whew! You guys are amazing.
Not only is this a great introduction to the pedal, which I bought, it's also a great primer to how amplifiers work in general!
Thanks!!!
Hi Nicholas! It's great to hear that you have purchased a RevivalDRIVE and it's great to hear that you are learning from the pedal too!
We hope you enjoy your new pedal!
I bought it and Those video are very informative i have one comment and it’s the sounds, they are quite alot better in reality . congratulations on that amazing piece of engineering
THANK YOU!!! I knew one day someone would give us the proper run through of this pedal. Seeing it from the man himself was just like a Christmas present. Awesome job!
Thanks, Charlie!
God damn, just bought a RD Custom, can't get enough of those demos and can't wait to put it on my board
Wow man, I have to admit I was skeptical about this at first. But these videos really bring a whole new level of understanding and appreciation for the Revival Drive! Awesome Sauce!!
Glad that you found these videos useful, John. There's a lot to convey so we felt that we needed to make this video!
It's one thing to hear a great demo like yours, but when I got mine yesterday, it exceeded these videos! Cheers Simon, this pedal is the answer to a quest for a pedal that would sound like a real amp. Well done!👍🏻🇬🇧 engineering at it's finest!
Thank you very much! The pedal was designed to complete my tone-quest so it's great to hear from customers who have found the sound they have been chasing by using the RevivalDRIVE.
@@OriginEffectsUK hi there, do you think this can do either smooth synth-like high gain or also metal high gain or djent as well?
@@LCRLive687 Hi! It's not really designed for that style of distortion.
Great pedal Simon! Just got my Hot Rod Custom today and I'm blown away!
Best pedal & favorite pedal! Cheers to you all in 🇬🇧. From 🇺🇲. If it's hand-built in either country, I'm in! Now, I've gotta get back to playing🎸...... so many tones! Hawt damn I ❤ it!
Excellent info, I am listening to your videos over and over to help get the basics of this pedal, it is an awesome piece of work.
This MAN Is a FKN GENIUS.
Amazing product, well done! Also, I've just learnt more about amps from this video than anything else I've ever seen.
Thanks! We are looking into producing more informative videos on amps so please subscribe!
Hahaaa How did I live without that ! Superb, amazing designer, superb explanations of features only this designer knows how to explain. Rab got me onto the compact and I've owned about a year, I run a few other overdrives but never happy them so decided to sell a few pedals and get the full revival drive just for the extra drive available in the silicon side. Its an insult to chain any other drives with the revivals as they are of the highest quality and purest form. I've paired my compact with some top drive pedals and proves to me the Revivals dynamics, tones, subtleties and clarity even at full gain are phenomenal ! Can't wait to get the full pedal.
Awesome!!
marshall, blackface, tweed and vox circuits all in one. Hell, this pedal is gonna be heavy!
got mine on preorder, nothing compares to this inventive amazingly designed drive+, makes everything else seem like a toy
Thanks, Paul! Let us know how you get on with the RevivalDRIVE...
Brilliant!
How effected would the tones of this pedal be going in through front of the amp vs going through effects loop. I have a Blackstar HT Stage 60 combo amp. I have a passive attenuator going through the fx loop which works great to keep volumes down while keeping saturation up. How would I go about attenuating the pedal while keeping the saturation up? Thank you in advance for your reply.
Great explanations Simon. Do I get a discount given that I have a similar hair-line to yours? :-)
Haha! If we were giving out discounts for hairlines then we would be out of business!
Could you please explain a bit about the recording signal chain (amp?speaker?mic?) in this video? Thank you.
Edit: I made till the end. You mentioned that the pedal went straight into a power amp?
Hey! The signal chain in this video is Les Paul > RevivalDRIVE > Palmer Macht 402 Power Amp > speaker cabinet loaded with 4x 12" Celestion Greenbacks. We mic'ed the same cone with a Shure SM57, a Sennheiser MD 421-II, and a Beyer Dynamic M160. Absolutely no effects or compression were added to the guitar audio track.
We used other amps in different videos but kept the mic configuration the same. It all sounded very close to how it sounded in the room.
Thanks for the reply. The pedal sounds amazing in the video.
Nice! How well does this stack with an od in front?
I have a prince of tone and I'd rather just enjoy Revival on its own, I always think its an insult to the Revival tone as its so incredible as it is.
I just ordered a standard version of the pedal. I plan to use it with cab sims in logic most of the time. Do you think I should have gone with the custom panel version for amp sims? Many thanks
Hey, Fendrix 69. If you're using just cab sims then you can just put the REAMP EQ switch to the PWR AMP position and it will sound great. I can't think why you would run an amp sim after the RD but if you do you may find the CUSTOM EQ is better suited to amps other than Blackface Fenders and classic Marshalls.
Hey, thanks for your reply. "I can't think why you would run an amp sim after the RD" Well... I record a lot of stuff at home and I can't mic amps here nor have a torpedo yet.
Does the RD handle the buffer of a Klon pedal fine?
Fendrix 69 what I mean is if you are using the RevivalDRIVE to achieve an amp tone you could just run it into a cab sim without having logic's amp sim after it. Just run it into a cab sim on logic with the PWR AMP setting. The other EQs work to "dial out" the EQ of the amp following the RevivalDRIVE.
Fendrix 69 we haven't had a real Klon at hand to try but we've placed it after many buffers including a J.Rockett Archer without any issues.
these vids are the way to the palace, behind the market place (where the noise of the reviewer gets in the way): you see that, don't you? Er, just one daring question here - what about the silverface ?
I must have this. Does anybody want to buy a kidney?
🤣
If it's cheap enough I need one dead urgently to replace the two I just sold. It seems we only have two, who knew?
I may be late to the party, but, - this pedal in a two space rack unit would be AWESOME. Maybe some user programable and factory pre-sets would be amazing - send one to Dave Simpson in Louth to share with his flock - ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=dave+simpson
Did you make this at Hogwarts?
try a Kingsley CONSTABLE if you want something approaching a real Marshall amp tone...fake bitey papery artifacts present in the revival unit i auditioned for 2 weeks before exchanging for a vemuram shanks od-1 which was a total keeper (albeit unrelated tone)
I need that drive pedal..... I can sell everything but my twin, and have every amp tone known that man. How in gods name am I living without that pedal...... origin effect....ewww pick me ..
..PICK ME.
Hey, Daniel. I love your enthusiasm! The RD into a Twin with its high headroom sounds amazing - I'm sure that you'll have a lot of fun with that combination
I'm thinking the same, that and a victory v40 deluxe would do it for me

If you can't get a great sound out of this pedal, you should stop playing guitar.
