The Thundering Rivival PTP is a distortion pedal from Menatone, built with point to point wiring, a hand-wired construction method where components are connected directly rather than on a circuit board. Menatone describes it as "A fairly transparent distortion that fits right along side with the Red Snapper and Blue Collar," placing it in the maker's line of drives that aim to keep the player's core tone intact while adding gain.1
What it does
As a distortion, the pedal adds gain and sustain to the signal. Menatone's own description stresses transparency, meaning the maker positions it as a drive that changes the character of the tone less than a heavily voiced distortion would. The comparison to the Red Snapper and Blue Collar, two established Menatone drives, tells a player roughly where it sits in the range: a similar family of sound, in a point to point wired build.1
