REVV Amps: TILT Overdrive - Shawn Tubbs Signature Overdrive

revvamplificat...
"The Sound In My Head." That's the moniker coined by the man himself, Shawn Tubbs. Shawn obviously has a very friendly relationship with respected Canadian amp and pedal manufacturers, REVV Amplification, and he's been fortunate enough to now have his own signature pedal, the Tilt Overdrive, put into production. In my mind that makes the world's guitar playing fraternity very fortunate also because this is a great and eminently useful pedal. The Tilt takes its name from the type of EQ used on the boost side. Put simply a Tilt EQ is a kind of see-saw with bass at one end and treble at the other. You can alter the balance between the two with the TiltEQ knob and boost it with the Boost knob. If you think there's too much bass happening in your sound you can tame it with one of two high-pass filter selections courtesy of the 'Tight' toggle. The overdrive section (post Boost or, like the Boost, able to be used independently) is not so much an 'amp type' of affair but more of a low to medium gain drive with very thoughtfully voiced Treble and Bass controls. Coupled with the Tilt side, it's a formidable combination. Congratulations, Shawn! I look forward to more from you and REVV.

Great demo Brett!! Thanks so much!!

[@MarcCoteMusic]

Great sounding drive... REVV does it again. Oh, and I absolutely love that Charvel, Brett.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Killer!
The boost/Tilt & Hi-cut is very well thought-out. Full-range clean boost/mid boost/treble boost.
All the boosters you can boost.
Sounds great, you always deliver. Appreciate your testing it through different varieties of amps in the Axe.

[@BitsOfEternity]

Just got mine today - love love love it! That boost side is magical, and a beautiful thing is that the Tilt EQ and the OD side Bass & Treble affect the EQ in different ways, so they can be well meshed to create an amazing array of sounds - this pedal works with so many different guitars. I especially loved when you kicked the boost on with the Hiwatt and fuzz & delay ... Awesome

@@BrettKingman very welcome Brett! Been working on my gardens in upstate NY..how are yours? Your video w your wife last year showcasing them is one of my favorites of yours

[@BrettKingman]

@@ericwarrington6650 Thanks, Eric! Our garden is going strong thanks to Elisabeth's attention but it's deathly cold here at the moment so neither of us feel like venturing out much. Elisabeth now has a popular podcast if you're interested. You can find it at www.muddyboots.net.au. All the best to you!

Cool pedal sounds immense!🎸🙂

[@brownsfan7753]

Very nice demo!!

[@tommc49]

I've been watching your channel since the days when you had the lovely young assistant. How many overdrives do you reckon you've demoed in that time?

[@DizzyKrissi]

Does the TiltEQ refer to the boost only? Or either when boost or both channels are "on"?

[@kosmicwizard]

Boost only

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Great work Brett.

[@BrettKingman]

Cheers, Grant. I hope you and your family are well.

[@Grant_Ferstat]

Hey Burgs can you tell me your email address. I was wondering if I can send you some strat pickups instead of the PAFs?
