After several years of research and development, Origin Effects has released their latest pedal – the RevivalDRIVE.

It’s the first 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 RevivalDRIVE’s unique circuit design incorporates not only the preamp, phase inverter, power amp and rectifier stages, but also a synthesised mains power signal and a speaker-emulating reactive load. Because these stages behave and interact just like the real thing, the RevivalDRIVE is the first pedal capable of delivering true amp-like overdrive, power amp sag and the characteristic “ghost tones” generated when cranking certain vintage amps.

Better still, a range of EQ compensation features have been incorporated allowing the output of RevivalDRIVE to be fine tuned to suit a range of popular amps – or even plug straight into a flat-response power amp.

• Solid-state and valve-styled rectifier channels
• Dual Class-A preamp stages
• Phase inverter and push-pull power amp stages
• Built-in reactive speaker load
• Fully variable mid boost
• Unique Ghost control
