  • Page 7: Valve & Silicon Rectifier Channel Controls

    Valve & Silicon Rectifier Channel Controls Valve & Silicon Rectifier Channel Controls The RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod features two channels, selectable via footswitch. While the controls are identical, the two channels offer a choice of rectifier styles. Please note: the VALVE RECTIFIER channel can be switched to a second SILICON RECTIFIER channel using the rear-panel MODE DIP switch.
  • Page 8 Valve & Silicon Rectifier Channel Controls MORE/PRES: This control combines two parameters, both related to the effects of negative feedback in the power amp stage. PRES (turn clockwise): The classic “Presence” knob, the PRES control releases the higher frequencies from the effects of negative feedback as you turn it clockwise from the centre position. This has the effect of progressively boosting higher frequencies in vintage Marshall and Trainwreck fashion.

  • Page 9: Mid Boost Controls

    Valve & Silicon Rectifier Channel Controls BRIGHT-CAP: This switch connects a capacitor to the VOLUME control, allowing high frequencies to sidestep any attenuation in exactly the same way as the “Bright” switch found on many Fender amps or using a Marshall’s bright channel. Off (centre position): No capacitor added –...

  • Page 10: Dry Gain Control

    DRY GAIN Control DRY GAIN Control The DRY GAIN trimmer adjusts the level of the DRY signal that is mixed with the O.D. signal using each channel’s BLEND control. Since the pedal’s overdrive circuitry can introduce considerable additional gain, the DRY GAIN control allows you to effectively balance the relative levels of the DRY and O.D.

  • Page 11: Custom Panel Controls: "Revivaldrive Hot Rod Custom

    Custom Panel Controls: “RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod CUSTOM” HI SHELF: A fairly conservatively voiced treble boost/cut control for making small adjustments to the high-frequency component of your tone. In particular, it’s designed to counteract Fender-style treble tone controls. This shelving filter provides up to +/-6dB. Starting from 12 o’clock (no boost or cut), turn counter- clockwise to tame highs if your amp sounds too bright, or turn clockwise to boost highs on a dark-sounding amp.

  • Page 12: Mode Dip Switch

    Mode DIP Switch Mode DIP Switch Located on the rear panel, the MODE DIP switch controls the following settings. 1 2 3 1 DRY/BYPASS DIP SWITCH: This switch is only active when the REAMP switch is set to the PWR AMP position.

  • Page 13: Revival Footswitch

    Revival Footswitch Revival Footswitch Connecting the Revival Footswitch (sold separately) to the F/SWITCH input at the rear of the pedal provides two further functions. MID-ENGAGE: With the pedal’s MID ASSIGN switch set to F/SWITCH, this allows you to apply the adjustable mid boost to whichever channel is currently selected.

  • Page 14: Sample Settings

    Sample Settings Sample Settings Princeton Boogie Valve rectifier channel Inspired by the lead tones of Santana’s modded Fender Princeton, these settings deliver a controlled, mid focused overdrive sound. In the late 60s, Randall Smith was hot rodding Fender Princeton combos for more gain and sustain.
  • Page 15 Sample Settings Sample Settings Continued... Orange Squash Valve rectifier channel Max out the VOLUME control with these settings for pure power amp explosion! A powerful sound reminiscent of a wall of cranked Orange stacks. The sagging power stage in conjunction with the simulated valve rectifier compresses each note and adds harmonic complexity to sustained chords.
