Revv Shawn Tubbs Tilt
Revv · pedal
The Revv Shawn Tubbs Tilt is a signature pedal combining a medium-gain overdrive with a separate clean boost, designed with the Nashville session guitarist to capture the feel of a cranked single-channel amp rather than to copy an existing pedal. The all-analogue drive side uses LED clipping and carries Volume, Gain, Bass and Treble, drawing on a range of classic amp voices from a small tweed Champ through a high-powered tweed Twin to Plexi and JTM/JCM Marshall territory -- organic, dynamic and responsive under the fingers rather than compressed. The boost side offers 12dB of clean lift with an unusual Tilt EQ control that pivots the tonal balance between darker and brighter in a single sweep, plus a three-way Tight toggle that firms the low end. Reviewers particularly praise the EQ range and the musical spread of overdrive tones.
