The way that pedal cleaned up when you changed attack was what impressed me most. The tones were great, but that kind of responsiveness in a pedal seems rare to me.
This video inspired me to build a similar DI rig. One thing led to another and now it's an Ampless wet/dry/wet rig. Thank you so much, my Aussie friend!
Hell yeah! So glad you reviewed the RevivalDrive Compact. I’ve had the full size regular custom model, and the regular compact model. Right now the full size hot rod custom model is the centerpiece of my board. I’m running a Vertex Boost MKII into it as a clean boost, and the combination is awe inspiring! Those go into a BigSky and Timeline and out to whatever amp I’m using (set clean). It’s incredible!
I think the Origin Effects HR Revival drive is the cat's meow!! I just purchased the Compact Revival drive as well. I may run the Hot Rod into the Compact on low gain settings and listen to the outcome. Great review as always
@@0megalul309 Yeah, I agree, it definitely is pricey. I think it was smart they sliced off the silicon rectifier and released this compact version though.
Ah!!! The Lay it Down riff just kills on that modded Marshall setting. Very cool sounding pedal. May need to check it out some more. Thanks for posting!
Love the origin GC pedal, but, those pickups are just amazing. The clarity and punch they have are just beyond anything I’ve played. I will be reaching out to get a set for my LP. Thanks for the video.
As soon as you plugged into the rack I was ready for Dann Huff to come out.. but instead we got Ty Tabor!! And then you added the reverb. Awesome tones!!
Origin Effects puts out quality products. Yeah, they might be pricey, but you’re definitely getting what you paid for. I own the Revival Drive Compact and the Magma57 and constantly get compliments on my tone.
"Good morning to you Leon!" Cool Pedal, Great Tones and Demonstration! Enjoyed it stand alone. Plays well with other effects. Is this a fairly New Pedal? Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!
So I use the non hit rod version as an OD of sorts with the iridium. It allows for a "more of" sound with some added harmonics. Also can then put certain effects between them. You should experiment with it in that application as well!
Hey Leon, I got a question and it’s been bugging me for sometime. Will a modded ADA MP-1 3tm pair great with JCM-900 4100 or no? I was also interested in Mesa Tri-axis but that won’t work with a Marshall😂😂
You should be able to use either into the fx return of the Marshall, effectively only using the marshall as a power amp. gigged a rack rig into a DSL fx return for years
This pedal is on my list to add a 4th channel on my Bogner! And a 3rd channel on my Bogner 2 channel clone! And I think with this pedal you're good to play anywhere in almost any amp. :)
Oh man...that tone playing Gary Moore....gave me goosebumps. So nice sounding. Also, I know it's about the (fantastic sounding) pedal...but I just have to call out that bit of playing of yours starting at 11:01. That kind of sequence just gets me every time!
Another great video Leon, loved it! I'm a little confused on exactly where in the signal chain you used this pedal, maybe you can shed a bit of light on the subject. Would you use this (for example) at the end of your pedal effects, and before your IR simulator? The same question applies to the rack setup, was that going in to the front of the rack? That's a great power amp simulator, and something I've been saying for years since people have been using IR's, the missing element has always been the power amp. I've always thought of it like this: If you plugged your guitar into your pre amp, then into your speakers, does that sound complete? Thanks for posting!
I look at it like an amp + load box in one - so I'd use it before any time based effects and after any drives/comps/filters. The first example was guitar - boost pedal - RD - Poly - Interface, the rack example was guitar - boost - RD - poly - Stereo line mixer with fx on aux sends - interface
That thing sounds great to me. I think that and an IR pedal going direct would be great, or even better with a power amp and a small cab for gigging or recording. Thanks brother. Yet another great demo. You do some great demos man. Really appreciated sir. 🤟♥️🤟
by the way,I have RD hotrod custom. That's too difficult to make sweet tone. but, the tone is so good. That drive sound is not stomp box like. Awsome tone and nice demo.
I know this is off topic but could you let me know what gauge strings you use when you tune your guitar down a whole step and then drop tune low E to C
yep that was awesome :) passes the roll off test the gary moore test and u jaming with that backing track was bloody good had me eyes closed with the cans on getting into it then was like oh s$%t this is a demo i should watch u tweek hahhahaah
Sounds killer. Reminds me of my AMT M2 pedal….Russian analog pedal….you should investigate…..has a drive out, pre amp out & (it’s pretty great) a speaker sim out……that and a digital boss delay pedal is my backup rig
I have a full sized Revival Drive, and the Hot Rod Compact on my board. Between those i have Plexi low gain, mid gain, and high gain, all very convincingly. Origin Effects is amazing at pedals.
Karl Jobst? I love his vids. It's very much an Aussie thing, I had a school teacher who would greet us every day "g'day legends!". Calling your mates all sorts of obscenities is common too.

Glorious!
Now thats a tasty jam once the backing track kicks in!
The very best demo that I have heard on this pedal. Not surprising.
🙌
Best demo of this pedal I’ve seen, well done. It sounds kinda fizzy in other demos.
Much appreciated!

Now that's one hell of a board!
I absolutely love mine. I’m going straight into WOS and it sounds massive
What is a WOS?
@@reneotten7376 it’s a plug in from Two Notes audio called Wall Of Sound.
@@ScottGailor ok thanks for explaining, I'll check it out!
@@ScottGailor whats a plug in
@@soofitnsexy when you are recording in say logic, a plugin is how you would get the sound so to speak
Been looking at these pedals, can’t wait to grab a coffee and watch :)
Outstanding demo.
I think the Origin Effects HR Revival drive is the cat's meow!! I just purchased the Compact Revival drive as well. I may run the Hot Rod into the Compact on low gain settings and listen to the outcome. Great review as always
Leon, that first fiff, ripping off Hells Bells / Shoot to thrill, that you could write a whole new original song...that's how the pros do it ;)
AC/DC mix'n'match for the win!
Beautiful guitar, killer tone, awesome player and teacher....
Wow now this is a refreshing pedal! It really opened up with the boost on. Hello Origin Effects! 👍
Dead set winner. Wait until you hear it with the Cali76!
for the price it better be

I think all the pedals these guys put out sound great
Yeah they're doing some of the best stuff out atm
Awesome sounding pedal! And some fantastic licks as usual 😀

Wow, you sounded amazing in this vid! Seemed like you were really enjoying yourself :)
Just the type of review i was looking for, thanks!
Origin is just killer! Simon is turning out excellent stuff! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Amazing stuff!
The Hot Rod version is epic! I have the HR custom version, and I couldn’t believe how good it sounded when I dialed it in…nice RATT btw🤘
Yeah I knew their stuff was good but this goes straight into the "great" category for me.
Superb Fantastic Tone!!! I would like to ask if you found this pedal slightly noisier than other "amp in a box" pedals.
Not really
@@LeonTodd Ok, thank you Leon
As soon as you plugged into the rack I was ready for Dann Huff to come out.. but instead we got Ty Tabor!! And then you added the reverb. Awesome tones!!
That concert hall verb on the PCM81 is the truth
@@LeonTodd I had a pcm70 in my tour rack on Kitaro. It dropped out when changing patches. Sounded great! But….
Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!!

Yeah the price point reflects the quality, rare these days!

Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!
This was introduced earlier this year. The compact is a scaled down version of the original Revival Drive Hot Rod.

Would be interesting to see how it sound in the return of a tube amp fx-loop also!
Yeah it's a pretty great all-rounder. Going to keep it in my guitar bag for every gig as a "just in case" option
Very nice demo!

Awesome! Really great….but expensive pedal. Great playing and demo! What is the brown overdrive/boost you used? Thanks
Another great video Leon, loved it!

If you do a cali76 video, could you compare to the equivalent axe FX compressor type?
Loving the face pulls,
Could you tell me the song name of 7:28 ?
I had heard this riff.
but,,,but,,,I can't remind that.
Van Halen?
Oh...
by the way,I have RD hotrod custom.
That's too difficult to make sweet tone.
but, the tone is so good.
That drive sound is not stomp box like.
Awsome tone and nice demo.
RATT - Lay it Down
Has that weird Revival dispute been resolved? I'll have to look that up some time. In any case, that pedal is great.
Also, does it make sense to use this in the Axe FX loop?
I know this is off topic but could you let me know what gauge strings you use when you tune your guitar down a whole step and then drop tune low E to C
10-52
@@LeonTodd god bless ya brother. And thanks for the great music (Ragdoll). Absolutely love "Shine"

Yeah I hit some of the AMT stuff right before I went all in and got an Axe-Fx. Handy little beasts
So this pedal is more like an AMP modeller?
Sick man. 🤟
Rack fan here 🙋♂️
Nice...but needs more cow bell.
Pedal sounds great , but damn that jam over the backing track was killer , that run at 12:25 😳😳😳 killing it
I owe Paul Gilbert royalties for that one!
@@LeonTodd truly terrifying 😉
