ORIGIN FX...OVERDRIVE

JohnPerry · February 2018

yes I know the world doesn't need any more OD pedals. But, well, it's Origin Fx. We know what that means...right, Cali/SlideRig fans?

Looks interesting anyhow. Release next week apparently.

Let's hope there's more interest this time than when I started a thread last month:

Well I've already got one more post.

Two now

It takes this lot a while to catch on. Wait till it's been on That Pedal Show or been compared to a KOT, then there'll be posts galore!

I use thin picks, the last thing I want is a pedal that bends my picks when I need to change settings.

BBBlues · February 2018

Not a fan of having to use a pick to change a pedals controls. Weird if you ask me.

Or A/B it against a Helix...

Similar controls on the Blackstone mosfet, quite easy to change with a fingernail. In practice it's handy as they also allow more controls in one box than if full size pots were used.

I bet this will be good...

POP IT INTO A HAMSTEAD

Boromedic · February 2018

Their FB postings state you can still turn them with your fingers, it's just not as easy or straightforward as they are more set and forget parameters apparently. Looks nice, however I suspect so will the price....

I’m interested in this

timbuk02 · February 2018

Guess the remaining three pics will come next week. Meanwhile....

Pricing:

Revival DRIVE: £469
Revival DRIVE CUSTOM: £569
Revival Footswitch: £TBC

This could get interesting...

If anybody can figure out why it has a reactive load box built in I'm all ears... can't see the placement of it!

If I'm honest, seems like lots of tools in a box that the average user won't use most of... I know they want them in the hands of professionals but I wonder if they'd have been better served keeping things simpler! We'll probably get that in a 'compact version' down the line. Will probably sell a ton anyway....

though having just got my hands on a Cali76 CD, I certainly understand the expectation that it’ll be great.

Looks massive

I wonder if the reactive load bit is part of speaker emulation for direct out? In which case it makes sense.

It is huge - these are the dimensions from the product page:

robinbowes · March 2018

I don't need this, I just don't. But I want it. It looks marvellous.

stickyfiddle · March 2018

It's a solid state amp in a box, that happens to also play nice with pedals and amps, right? I'm guessing a very very nice one.

I don't think I want one, but I love that it exists

Norwegian_Blue · March 2018

@stickyfiddle It's not an amp from what I can see, just a preamp... can be used into a Power Amp! I'm pessimistic... you can by a decent amp for less. It'll certainly be a well built piece of kit...

" This includes not only the preamp, phase inverter, power amp and rectifier stages, but also a synthesised mains power signal and a speaker-emulating reactive load."

It's a complete amp-in-a-box. Just plug it in to something that will make it louder.

Howdy, Stranger!
