ORIGIN EFFECTS RevivalDrive Ghosting Overdrive Unabridged Amp User Guide
1. GET CONNECTED
INSTR – Plug in your guitar or other instrument.
AMP – Connect to your amp, power amp, mixer or recording interface.
9VDC – Insert 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative power supply (minimum 120mA).
2. MATCH THE CONTROLS
Match the RevivalDRIVE controls to the image.
3. SET THE RE-AMP EQ
Set the RE-AMP EQ controls to suit your application.
Power amp, recording interface or FX return:
- Set the RE-AMP EQ switch to PWR AMP.
- Remember to use a cabinet simulator if playing through a full-range speaker system such as a PA or studio monitors.
Guitar amp or amp modeller:
- Set the RE-AMP EQ switch to EQ1 for brighter sounding amps or EQ2 for darker sounding amps.
- If plugging into an amp’s bright channel, increase the BRI-CAP CUT control to filter out any harshness or fizz.
- Adjust the HI SHELF control to boost or cut highs for a balanced tone.
4. CHOOSE YOUR CHANNEL
Choose to employ a hard silicon or spongy valve-style rectifier stage by
toggling the channel footswitch.
5. SET YOUR LEVEL
OUTPUT – Sets the pedal’s overall output level without changing the tone or
drive characteristics.
6. SHAPE YOUR VOICE
PREAMP – Select between three distinct preamp voices:
O – Warm and balanced.
GB – Rich midrange, tight bass.
US – Shimmering highs, controlled mids and lows.
LOWS – Adjust low-frequency overdrive:
- Turn up for a thick, distorted low-end.
- Turn down for a tighter, controlled drive.
7. DIAL IN YOUR OVERDRIVE
VOLUME – Turn up and go from clean to natural overdrive, much like turning up
a classic non-master-volume amp.
8. REFINE YOUR TONE
BRIGHT-CAP – Drive high frequencies in the US position or let mids and highs
drive when set to GB.
MORE|PRES – Dial in the break-up characteristics of the power stage distortion:
- At the centre position, the tone is balanced with lots of clean headroom.
- Turning the control anti-clockwise results in an earlier onset of distortion and a smoother transition from clean to break-up.
- Turning the control clockwise increases the high frequency drive for added bite and sizzle.
GHOST – Turn up to introduce the “double tones” found in vintage amps. Ghosting is more pronounced when playing upper register notes with higher VOLUME levels.
SAMPLE SETTINGS
CLASSIC PLEXI
SILICON RECTIFIER CHANNEL
The quintessential sound of rock! Modelled on an original Marshall® Super
Lead, get ready for cutting attack and a characteristic tight low-end, perfect
for big riffs.
LIVERPOOL CHIME
VALVE RECTIFIER CHANNEL
Inspired by a 1960s Vox® AC30 – dial back the MORE|PRES control to eliminate
negative feedback. These iconic, chimey guitar tones are always touch-
responsive, all the way from clean to cranked.
‘60s BLACK AMP
SILICON RECTIFIER CHANNEL
Inspired by a 1965 Fender® Twin Reverb®, known for its tighter bass response
and shimmering cleans. Turn up the VOLUME control to experience dynamic edge-
of- breakup tones all the way to rich, bluesy saturation.
‘50s TWEED AMP
VALVE RECTIFIER CHANNEL
Oozing with character, Fender® Tweed amps are known for their raw, snarling
overdrive with a satisfying low-end growl. Turn the LOWS control all the way
clockwise for a thick, raspy tone.
