Revv Tilt Boost (Shawn Tubbs Signature)
Revv · pedal
The Revv Tilt Boost is the standalone boost half of Shawn Tubbs' Signature Series Tilt Overdrive, extracted into its own dedicated pedal. A Boost control sets output level, a two-position switch chooses between up to 20dB of clean boost or touch-sensitive clipping, and a Tilt EQ control simultaneously attenuates bass and treble in opposite directions, shifting tonal balance without a full multi-band EQ. Designed as an always-on pedal, it's meant to add analog liveliness and presence to an existing rig without fundamentally altering the base tone, effectively waking up a static amp sound.
