Connecting the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod

Connecting the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod

INSTR input:

 Connect to your guitar, bass or other instrument. 

AMP output: 

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

9VDC input: 

Connect a 9VDC 2.1mm centre-negative mains power supply which can provide at least 

120mA. 

F/SWITCH input:

 Connect the Revival Footswitch (sold separately).

Operating the Pedal 

ON footswitch:

 Toggles between BYPASS (“off”) and EFFECT (“on”) modes. 

O/O channel footswitch: 

Toggles between the VALVE RECTIFIER and SILICON RECTIFIER channels. 

Channel indicator LEDs: 

The currently selected channel is indicated by the VALVE RECTIFIER (orange) 

and SILICON RECTIFIER (white) LEDs. These remain active when the effect is bypassed. 

Jewel light: 

The central jewel lamp will illuminate when the effect is engaged. Because it’s directly 

connected to the power supply, the lamp will dim as the power amp “sags”, just like the jewel lamp on a 

vintage amp.
