Introducing the RD COMPACT HOT ROD

The RD Compact Hot Rod is a super-charged version
of our celebrated RevivalDRIVE Compact pedal, paying
homage to the heavily modified amps that came to
define the sound of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Using
all-analogue components and replacing the valves with
discrete transistor-based circuitry, we have reproduced
the sound, response and circuit behaviour of these
"hot rods", delivering aggressive high gain and massive
sustain.
Streamlined, intuitive controls give you full command of
both sound and feel, while the powerful Post-Drive EQ
lets you adjust the RD Compact Hot Rod to suit your
preferred amp and settings - not the other way around.

Key features

tones or mix and match di erent flavours to create your
own unique sound.
