REVV launches Tilt Boost, a Shawn Tubbs signature boost pedal

REVV Amplification announced the Tilt Boost on April 13, 2023. It is a Shawn Tubbs signature pedal and an always-on boost, derived from the boost side of the Shawn Tubbs Signature Series Tilt Overdrive1.
The pedal carries a boost volume knob and a Tilt EQ knob. According to the report, the Tilt EQ "tilts the frequency response instead of only lifting or lowering certain bands," so one control raises treble while lowering bass, or the reverse1. A Drive switch adds what the report calls a fat clipping sound based on Tubbs' favorite Tilt Overdrive setting, and a three-position Tight switch adjusts low end1. REVV describes the pedal as an always-on effect with 20dB of extra output1.
The Tilt Overdrive it comes from is a dual-channel overdrive and boost with a dedicated footswitch for each channel, a 2-band drive EQ and a Tilt boost EQ2. MusicRadar reported at that pedal's launch in May 2022 that it was developed over the course of a year and has an internal 18V mod for more headroom3. The Tilt Boost reduces that layout to the boost section alone1.
"Essentially the REVV Tilt Boost is just the boost side of Shawn Tubbs' Signature Series Tilt Overdrive pedal."
The Tilt Boost has a US MSRP of USD 1691. The report said it expected the pedal to reach dealers very soon, without giving a date1.
