CONTROLS 

OUTPUT:

 The output control sets the pedal’s overall output level. As it isn’t part of the RevivalDRIVE Compact’s simulated amp 

circuitry, the OUTPUT control won’t alter the pedal’s overdrive character. It simply lets you make it louder or quieter.

GAIN:

 The gain control functions exactly like the volume knob on a non-master-volume valve amp. Turn it clockwise for more gain, 

sustain, drive and distortion. Turn counter-clockwise to clean things up.

BLEND: 

This control lets you adjust the mix between the dry input signal (DRY) and the overdriven signal created by the 

RevivalDRIVE Compact (O.D.). As mixing clean and very heavily overdriven signals tends to produce undesirable results, we’ve 
designed the BLEND knob to gently back off the gain as you mix in more DRY signal.

Set the control fully clockwise (100% O.D.) then turn it counterclockwise to progressively mix your original clean signal back in, 
delivering a rounder, fuller and more natural tone. With the BLEND control fully counterclockwise (100% DRY), turning up the 
RevivalDRIVE Compact’s OUTPUT knob provides a clean level boost.

CONNECTING THE REVIVALDRIVE COMPACT

9VDC input:

 Connect a 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative mains power adaptor (minimum 75mA).

INSTR input:

 Connect to your guitar, bass or other instrument.

AMP output:

 Connect to your amp, power amp, mixer or recording interface. 

If you’re playing through something other than a guitar speaker (e.g. PA speakers, studio monitors, headphones or direct recording), we strongly 
recommend using a speaker simulator after the RevivalDRIVE Compact.
