Revv Dirt Dog (Joey Landreth Signature Overdrive)
Revv · pedal
The Revv Dirt Dog is a Joey Landreth signature overdrive built to capture the character of the quirky, vintage-inspired combo amp Landreth built for his Dog Ear album, evoking a Fender Princeton-style touch-sensitive breakup in pedal form. Gain and Bite controls give a wide range from light, sweetening overdrive up to a singing, sustained crunch, with rich harmonics and a presence-boosting Bite control adding bark without harshness. Picking softly keeps the tone clean and sweet, while digging in pushes it into warm, vintage-leaning growl, all without feeling stiff or compressed.
