REVV releases Northern Mauler Glenn Fricker signature distortion pedal

November 4, 2022 · 2 sources

REVV announced the Revv Northern Mauler on November 4, 2022. It is a signature distortion pedal for Glenn Fricker, the YouTuber behind Spectre Sound, and combines a chainsaw circuit inspired by the Boss HM-2 with a high-gain amp circuit¹².

The pedal holds two complete circuits in one enclosure, mixed with a Blend knob that runs from 100 percent Amp circuit to 100 percent Chainsaw circuit; at noon the blend is an equal mix of both¹. Volume and Giv'r, which REVV calls the gain control for both circuits, are global, while each circuit has its own controls: Bite (treble) and Growl (bass and mids) on the Chainsaw side, and a three-band Bass, Mids and Treble EQ on the Amp side¹². Gearnews describes the two circuits as always connected in serial². REVV states the Chainsaw circuit is not based on any specific HM-2 unit, and that the Amp circuit sits between its Red and Purple channels rather than copying either¹.

Gearnews lists a US price of $250.00². REVV's page does not state a price¹. Gearnews calls the Northern Mauler REVV's second signature pedal, after the Tilt Overdrive for Shawn Tubbs².
