Connecting the Footswitch
Using the TRS jack cable supplied, connect TRS socket on the Footswitch to the F/SWITCH socket on
the RevivalDRIVE pedal.
Note: Any standard TRS jack cable can be used in place of the supplied cable.
The RevivalDRIVE Footswitch is compatible with RevivalDRIVE, RevivalDRIVE Custom, RevivalDRIVE
Hot Rod and RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod Custom pedals.
Using the Footswitch
The RevivalDRIVE Footswitch allows additional control of the RevivalDRIVE’s mid-boost and dry blend
functions.
MID-ENGAGE
Setting the MID ASSIGN switch on the RevivalDRIVE to F/SWITCH,
allows you to apply the adjustable mid-boost to whichever channel is
currently selected.
The mid-boost is applied to both the DRY and O.D. signals mixed by the
BLEND control.
The mid-boost function is not active when the pedal is in bypass mode.
BLEND OVERRIDE
This footswitch “overrides” each channel’s BLEND control from the signal path. With the BLEND knob
set for a mix of DRY and O.D. signals, engaging BLEND OVERRIDE effectively removes the DRY
component and reverts to a 100% O.D. signal. This offers additional flexibility akin to having another
channel on your amp.
For example, with the channel controls set for medium gain and the BLEND knob at 12 o’clock,
engaging the BLEND OVERRIDE footswitch lets you go from an organic clean tone with a little grit to a
fully overdriven sound for aggressive rhythm playing. By carefully adjusting the DRY GAIN trimmer, you
can control the change in volume – up, down or unity gain – that occurs when engaging BLEND
OVERRIDE.
As an alternative to the above example, you could set up your core drive tone with BLEND OVERRIDE
engaged, then transition to a cleaner “edgy” solo tone of greater volume by disengaging BLEND
OVERRIDE and turning the DRY GAIN control up.
