IMPORTANT:
This product is designed to be powered from a 9VDC, >120mA power supply with 2.1mm centre-
negative barrel connector.
The voltage is boosted internally for optimised headroom. Powering from more than 9V will not
increase headroom further and may cause damage if connected for prolonged periods of time. Do
not exceed 18V.
An isolated, regulated, linear power supply is recommended to minimise power-related noise and
avoid damage from voltage surges and other over-voltage conditions.

Welcome to the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod
Welcome to the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod
From searing lead tones to super-saturated chords and palm-muted ri󰀨s, the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod
delivers two channels of aggressive high-gain.
This super-charged version of our celebrated RevivalDRIVE pedal is designed to deliver massive amounts
of overdrive and sustain, by paying homage to the heavily modied amps that came to dene the sound of
hard rock and heavy metal.
In developing the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod, we analysed the most inuential amp mods and altered the
RevivalDRIVE’s signal path to create a range of hot rodded tones worthy of the greatest rock gods.
Using all-analogue components and replacing the valves with discrete transistor-based circuitry, we have
reproduced the sound and circuit behaviour of these “hot rods”, all in a fully variable and controllable way.
This means that you can use the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod to nail the sound of a particular amp or recording,
or you can mix and match the various properties of di󰀨erent amps to create your own sound.
At the same time, the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod incorporates a range of controls that will tailor its response to
suit the amp you’re plugging into. Unlike the vast majority of overdrive pedals, the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod is
genuinely designed to sound fantastic with any amp.
With tons of tweakability, including a full adjustable mid boost, dry blend controls, and the unique GHOST
feature, the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod is a fairly complex device. We invite you read through this manual
so you can gain a full understanding of all it can do. But if you can’t wait, by all means skip ahead to the
Sample Settings on page 14 and start playing!

RE-AMP EQ: Select EQ1 (for brighter sounding
amps) or EQ2 (for darker sounding amps) on the
RE-AMP EQ switch. Use the HI SHELF boost/cut
control and BRI-CAP CUT lter to adjust for the high-
frequency response of your amp.
Note that in the case of the “Custom” model,
switching to the EQ2 setting enables the custom
panel controls, which oer compatibility with bright
and dark amps alike. Please see Custom Panel

Valve & Silicon Rectier Channel Controls
Valve & Silicon Rectier Channel Controls
The RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod features two channels, selectable via footswitch. While the controls are
identical, the two channels o󰀨er a choice of rectier styles.
Please note: the VALVE RECTIFIER channel can be switched to a second SILICON RECTIFIER channel
using the rear-panel MODE DIP switch. See Mode DIP Switch on page 12 for more information.
VOLUME: In true vintage amp style, we’ve gone with the term “VOLUME”, but we could equally have called
this control “gain”. Turn clockwise for more overdrive, counter-clockwise to clean things up.
LOWS: Having set the desired treble response using the PREAMP switch, the LOWS control allows you to
adjust the amount of bass pushing the drive circuitry.
OUTPUT: Sets the overall output level of the channel. Adjust the VOLUME and OUTPUT controls to
achieve the desired combination of distortion and level.
BLEND: This control lets you adjust the mix between the dry input signal (DRY) and the overdriven signal
created by the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod (O.D.). From 100% O.D. when the control is turned fully clockwise,
you can progressively mix your original clean tone back in to add more clarity and denition by turning the
control counter-clockwise.
Please see notes on the DRY GAIN Control on page 10 and the BLEND OVERRIDE function under
Revival Footswitch on page 13 for more on this control.

Valve & Silicon Rectier Channel Controls
MORE/PRES: This control combines two parameters, both related to the e󰀨ects of negative feedback in the
power amp stage.
PRES (turn clockwise): The classic “Presence” knob, the PRES control releases the higher
frequencies from the e󰀨ects of negative feedback as you turn it clockwise from the centre position.
This has the e󰀨ect of progressively boosting higher frequencies in vintage Marshall and Trainwreck
fashion.
MORE (turn counter-clockwise): The MORE control progressively reduces negative feedback in
the pedal’s output stage, increasing gain but also varying playing feel by modifying the clean-to-
overdriven transition characteristics.
With the control centred at 12 o’clock, there is a denite threshold to this transition, with an abrupt
switch from clean to overdriven once you pick hard enough. Turning the control fully counter-
clockwise completely removes negative feedback, delivering maximum gain, early onset of distortion
and a smooth, gradual transition from clean to fully overdriven. It will also slightly increase the
amount of background hiss, which would otherwise be counteracted by negative feedback.
In general terms, the response at 12 o’clock is akin to a Marshall with the “Presence” knob at zero.
Turn the knob fully counter-clockwise and the pedal behaves like a Vox AC30, with no negative
feedback whatsoever. In between, you’ll nd Fender Blackface territory.
Please refer to the Sample Settings on page 14 to learn how to set this control to match the performance
of your favourite style of amp.
GHOST: This control lets you introduce “ghost tones” by varying the amount of capacitance in the pedal’s
virtual amp-style power supply. Turn clockwise to lower capacitance and create more of the ghosting e󰀨ect.
The GHOST control also a󰀨ects power amp sag onset and recovery timing – how quickly the output level
drops and then returns to normal when hit with a loud note. This is more noticeable when using the VALVE
RECTIFIER channel. Turned fully clockwise (lower capacitance), the transition in and out of sag is almost
immediate. Turned fully counterclockwise (higher capacitance), the onset and recovery times are at their
slowest.
In general, faster transition times will allow the pedal to sag in response to the individual notes contained
in a musical passage, as the power supply has time to recover in the pauses between notes. However, too
fast and you may struggle to hear the rapid onset of sagging. Slower transition times will tend to sag across
entire passages of notes, which can also be less noticeable. Setting the GHOST control between these two
extremes results in a “spongey” playing feel.
PREAMP: The PREAMP switch o󰀨ers three hot-rodded amp tone-shapes.
Centre position: A less extreme tone shape – almost at but with a
subtle treble lift. Overall, this position is warm and round.
GB (switch left): Modelled after a ‘70s master volume Marshall – treble
and mid tone controls set full, with the bass set very low. This equates to
a tone rich in mids, with a tight, “mush-free” bass.
US (switch right): Applies a similar approach to a modied Fender amp
for a cutting, bright tone.
ONO/O

9
Valve & Silicon Rectier 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.
O󰀨 (centre position): No capacitor added – VOLUME control a󰀨ects all
frequencies.
US (switch right): High frequencies see maximum gain while the low
and mid frequencies remain clean, or overdriven, depending on where
the user sets the VOLUME control. Perfect for bright, sparkly lower-gain
sounds.
GB (switch left): The e󰀨ect is far more pronounced, with both upper-
mids and high frequencies allowed to bypass the volume control.
Mid Boost Controls
The RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod features a powerful mid-range boost that can be used to modify the overdriven
tone or provide a solo boost to help you cut through the mix. Fully variable in both level and centre
frequency, the MID BOOST can be applied to either channel or remotely activated using the optional
footswitch.
MID ASSIGN: This three-way switch applies the MID BOOST to either the VALVE RECTIFIER channel
(switch left) or the SILICON RECTIFIER CHANNEL (switch right). With the switch in the central, F/SWITCH
position, the MID BOOST is deactivated but can be switched in at any time using the optional footswitch.
Please note: in F/SWITCH mode, the MID BOOST is applied to both the DRY and O.D. signals when
activated. In all cases, the MID BOOST is not active when the pedal is in BYPASS mode.
MID LEVEL: Sets the level of the MID BOOST, from +2dB to +8.5dB.
MID FREQ: Sets the centre frequency of the MID BOOST, ranging from 800Hz to 2kHz.
ONO/O

10
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 e󰀨ectively balance the relative
levels of the DRY and O.D. signals when using the BLEND control and the
footswitchable BLEND OVERRIDE function (see FOOTSWITCH below).
Please note: the DRY GAIN control is not active when the pedal is in BYPASS
mode.
Re-amp EQ Controls
The RE-AMP EQ ensures compatibility with a wide range of ampliers. Instead of altering your amp tone
controls to suit the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod, set your amp for the desired clean sound then use the RE-AMP
EQ controls to adjust the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod’s output accordingly.
RE-AMP EQ switch: The RE-AMP EQ switch o󰀨ers a choice of three di󰀨erent output lters.
PWR AMP: Use this setting when plugging into a at-response power amp. This EQ is set more or
less at, with a subtle bass boost applied after the overdrive circuit to imitate the resonant loading of
the speaker in a guitar amp.
EQ1: Designed to suit the response of a Blackface Fender amp, EQ1 applies a low-pass lter to roll
o󰀨 excessive highs. Use this setting when plugging into a bright-voiced guitar amp.
EQ2: Voiced for a Marshall amp with the channels bridged, EQ2 sits between the other two,
applying a high shelf cut to gently rein in high frequencies.
With the additional front-mounted lter controls on the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod CUSTOM, the EQ2
position on the standard RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod gives way to a highly tweakable custom lter,
designed to deliver universal compatibility for most mainstream guitar ampliers.
See Custom Panel Controls: “RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod CUSTOM” below for more information.

11
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 lter 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.
BRI-CAP CUT: This low-pass/high-cut lter is designed to compensate for the tonal e󰀨ects of the “Bright
Cap” (if any) wired to the host amplier’s volume control, which can lead to a very bright and harsh sound
when fed by an overdrive pedal. In the fully counter-clockwise position, the BRI-CAP CUT control has no
e󰀨ect. Turn clockwise to progressively cut more highs. For best results, the BRI-CAP CUT trimmer should
be adjusted whenever you make signicant changes to your amp’s volume settings.
Custom Panel Controls: “RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod CUSTOM”
Working in tandem with the RE-AMP EQ controls on top of the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod (see above), the
RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod CUSTOM’s Custom Panel controls provide additional options to ne-tune the
pedal’s output to the response of your chosen amp.
SHELF FREQ: This three-way toggle switch varies the shelf frequency of the HI SHELF lter trimpot on top
of the pedal, allowing greater exibility.
CUT FREQ: Varies the low-pass frequency of the BRI-CAP CUT lter trimpot on top of the pedal, for
optimal compatibility with all vintage Fender and Marshall amps.
The SHELF FREQ and CUT FREQ controls are active in all RE-AMP EQ switch positions.
To activate the ADJ, FREQ, and MODE controls set the RE-AMP EQ switch on top of the pedal to the
central EQ2 position.
ADJ: Turn clockwise to reduce treble and boost bass, and counter-clockwise to increase treble and reduce
bass.
FREQ: This three-way switch shifts the frequency focus of the EQ up or down.
MODE: Select MODE I when using a full-range amp that sounds wooly or muddy. Select MODE II when
addressing an overly bright amp that needs taming.

12
Mode DIP Switch
Mode DIP Switch
Located on the rear panel, the MODE DIP switch controls the following settings.
1 DRY/BYPASS DIP SWITCH: This switch is only active when the REAMP switch is set to the PWR AMP
position. With PWR AMP selected, the DRY/BYPASS DIP switch modies the BYPASS and DRY signal
path to incorporate the pedal’s PREAMP circuitry.
In bypass, with switch 1 in the downward position, the signal present at the input connector is routed to the
pedal’s output via a high-quality bu󰀨er. With the pedal engaged, any blended DRY component is fed from
the same bu󰀨er. Use this setting when plugging into a guitar amp.
When plugging into a at-response power amp, move the switch to the upward position. When the pedal is
bypassed, the input signal now passes through the preamp lter stage, controlled by the PREAMP switch
on the currently active channel. This means you can still take advantage of the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod’s
classic amp-style tone shaping, even when not using the main overdrive circuit. The pedal’s two channels
remain switchable even in BYPASS mode, allowing you to set up two distinct tones.
2 RECTIFER DIP SWITCH: Move switch 2 to the up position to transform the VALVE RECTIFIER channel
into a second SILICON RECTIFIER channel.
3 GHOSTING DIP SWITCH: Switch 3 toggles between 50Hz/British (switch down) and 60Hz/USA (switch
up) simulated mains frequencies, subtly altering the pitch of the ghost tones generated.

13
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.
Please note: 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” or removes each channel’s BLEND control from the signal
path. With the BLEND knob set for a mix of DRY and O.D. signals, engaging the BLEND OVERRIDE
e󰀨ectively removes the DRY component and reverts to a 100% O.D. signal.
This o󰀨ers additional exibility 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 solos.
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. For example, you could set up your core drive
tone with BLEND OVERRIDE engaged, then transition to a cleaner sound of equal or greater volume by
disengaging BLEND OVERRIDE and turning the DRY GAIN control up.

About Origin Effects
About Origin Effects
Origin E󰀨ects is the brainchild of Simon Keats, a guitarist, electronic engineer and analogue circuit
designer who has worked for the likes of Vox, Focusrite and Trident Audio. Having built bespoke e󰀨ects
for professional musicians and producers for many years, he launched the Origin E󰀨ects brand in 2012 to
bring his exceptional designs to a wider audience.
His rst two pedals – the Cali76 compressor and the unique SlideRig dual-chained compressor – were
soon followed by the Compact Series of compressors for guitar and bass. Widely recognised as some of
the best pedal compressors ever made, they have found favour with guitarists and bass players like David
Gilmour, Pino Palladino and John Mayer, as well as Grammy Award-winning producers like Paul Epworth,
Ross Hogarth and Terry Britten.
In 2018, Origin began a new chapter with the launch of the RevivalDRIVE, a groundbreaking overdrive
pedal that recreates the circuit topology, sound and response of a cranked non-master-volume valve amp.
