REVIVALDRIVE COMPACT
The RevivalDRIVE Compact takes the groundbreaking circuit design found in the
original RevivalDRIVE and condenses it into a smaller, more pedalboard-friendly
package.
Housing a complete valve amp-style signal path recreated in analogue
electronics,
the
RevivalDRIVE
Compact
accurately
reproduces
a
wide
range of classic British and American non-master-volume valve amp tones.
A streamlined set of controls makes dialling in your ideal sound easier and more
intuitive than ever before, while the powerful Post-Drive EQ lets you adjust the
RevivalDRIVE Compact to suit your preferred amp and settings, not the other way
around.
With the ability to directly shape key amp properties like preamp voicing, break-up
characteristics and low-frequency distortion, plus a built-in Blend control to mix in
your dry signal, the RevivalDRIVE Compact allows you to quickly dial in a range of
legendary amp tones or mix and match different flavours to create your own unique
sound.

- Page 3 With the RevialDRIVE Compact, we wanted to take everything players loved about the RevivalDRIVE and distil it into a slimmed- down pedal with a simpler set of controls, making it much easier to dial in a great sound. To this end, the RevivalDRIVE Compact features exactly the same valve amp-style circuit topology but in single-channel format and with newly designed rectifier circuitry voiced midway between a solid-state rectifier and a GZ34 rectifier valve.
- Page 4 CONTROLS OUTPUT: The output control sets the pedal’s overall output level. As it isn’t part of the RevivalDRIVE Compact’s simulated amp circuitry, the OUTPUT control won’t alter the pedal’s overdrive character. It simply lets you make it louder or quieter.
- Page 5 HIGHS: The HIGHS knob progressively increases mids and highs as you turn it clockwise, delivering a brighter, more incisive tone while keeping the low end tight and controlled so that high-gain settings don’t turn to mush. Based on the original RevivalDRIVE’s Preamp mode switch, the HIGHs knob provides a continuous range of useful preamp voicings. This ranges from a Marshall-style amp with its tone controls centred (fully counterclockwise, ’0’...
- Page 6 The POST-DRIVE EQ ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers. Instead of altering your amp or its tone controls to suit the RevivalDRIVE Compact, set your amp for the desired clean sound then use the EQ controls to adjust the pedal’s output accordingly (see tables on opposite page).

Working through Steps 1 and 2 allows you to “set-and-forget” the POST-DRIVE EQ controls and move on to having fun dialling in your ideal drive tone with the main controls.
