REVV released the Tilt Overdrive + Boost, a Shawn Tubbs signature pedal, with the collaboration reported on May 19, 20221. The pedal is an overdrive with a boost circuit feeding it, and each channel has its own footswitch2.
The drive side has Gain, Volume, Bass and Treble controls1. The boost side carries a Tilt EQ knob and a three-way Tight selector for Half, Normal and Full1. According to Delicious Audio, the Tilt EQ knob selects the frequency where the filter starts cutting the bass range of the signal rather than boosting or cutting frequencies2. MusicRadar describes the Tight switch as removing boomier low frequencies, with Full giving the most low end and Normal and Half cutting it back1. The pedal also has an internal 18V mod for more headroom, and MusicRadar reports it was developed over the course of a year1.
Delicious Audio reports the pedal was the result of collaboration between Tubbs and REVV founder Dan Trudeau, and describes road-worthy construction with a blue sparkle finish, a custom Shawn Tubbs graphic and top-mounted 1/4-inch inputs2. REVV's builder's notes describe "Exceptionally natural amp-like OD tones that are highly responsive to your playing"2.
"I needed it to be crazy expressive like an amp would be, but definitely not an amp in a box. I don't see this pedal as that."
MusicRadar reported the REVV Shawn Tubbs Signature Tilt Overdrive as available late May1. A US list price was not given in the coverage.
