A supercharged version of the beloved RevivalDRIVE!
The RevivalDRIVE Compact Hot Rod packs huge, hot-rodded amp tones into a compact enclosure.
Origin Effects endowed the RevivalDRIVE Compact Hot Rod with more gain and a whole new personality!
The pedal pays homage to the heavily modified amps that came to define the sound of hard rock and heavy metal.
Origin Effects analyzed the most influential mods and altered the RevivalDRIVE’s tube amp-style signal path for hot-rod levels of gain and sustain.
The RD Compact Hot Rod not only brings the sounds but also the dynamics and feel of coveted, hot-rodded amps!
Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod Compact features:
• Complete “hot-rodded” tube amp-style signal path with dedicated class-A preamp, long-tailed pair phase inverter, and push-pull output stage.
• Variable negative feedback to fine-tune breakup characteristics or boost presence.
• Reactive overdrive design simulates interaction between amp and speaker for realistic feel and authentic sound.
• Accurately recreates power supply sag for subtle, natural compression.
• Full control of tone, dynamic response and distortion characteristics.
• Interactive Blend control backs off the gain as you add dry signal, for the most natural sound.

• High-impedance buffered bypass with silent switching.
• Power: 9V DC.
• Current Draw: 100mA.
