Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE Dual Overdrive

Origin Effects · pedal

The Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE Dual Overdrive is a two-channel amp-in-a-box overdrive built around an analogue recreation of a non-master-volume valve amp signal path rather than a conventional pedal clipping circuit. It produces organic, harmonically complex overdrive reminiscent of cranked 1950s to 1970s amplifiers, and can be voiced toward tweed Fender warmth, early Vox chime, or pre-master-volume Marshall crunch. Origin describes it as a ghosting overdrive, reproducing the combination tones generated by power-supply interaction that give real cranked amps their complexity. A blend control mixes clean signal with the overdriven path, and the pedal stays highly touch sensitive, cleaning up from the guitar volume across the range from clean to fully cranked. The dual format holds two independent voicings.
