Origin Effects RD COMPACT HOT ROD
Introducing the RD COMPACT HOT ROD
With the ability to directly shape key amp
properties like preamp voicing, break-up
characteristics and low-frequency distortion, plus a
built-in Blend control to mix in your dry signal, the
RD Compact Hot Rod allows you to quickly dial

or mix and match different flavours to create your
own unique sound.

The RD Compact Hot Rod is a super-charged
version of our celebrated RevivalDRIVE Compact
pedal, paying homage to the heavily modified
amps that came to define the sound of Hard Rock
and Heavy Metal. Using all-analogue components
and replacing the valves with discrete transistor-
based circuitry, we have reproduced the sound,
response and circuit behaviour of these “hot rods”,
delivering aggressive high gain and massive
sustain.
Streamlined, intuitive controls give you full
command of both sound and feel, while the
powerful Post-Drive EQ lets you adjust the RD
Compact Hot Rod to suit your preferred amp and
settings - not the other way around.
