Squeezing a '61 Deluxe Into an All Analog Pedal

My father was trained in electronics in the US Army Air Force. His job was to maintain the classified ground scanning radars in B24’s in Italy. After the war he had his own electronics business in Denver and installed the sound systems at Red Rocks and the Denver Coliseum. He tried to teach me the electronics rudiments but I was an untalented student. My first solo hand built radio blew up in the garage in a cloud of smoke. Since then I’ve left electronics repairs to the experts. My 73 Pro Reverb is currently out getting the reverb restored.

I am one of your subscribers ... I love your videos, and watch each and every one you put out. Don't think that I don't because I just posted that "rant" on a lot of the gear that comes out to replace the trusty stuff that never failed us in the past.

Listening to Brett Kingman push the Deluxe 61 over the years inspired me to find one of these. Ended up with the RevivalTrem. From there, now also own the Revival Drive Custom. Run these into a 5 watt Laney valve amp. The RevivalTrem set clean with the trem going into the Drive is quite exciting and always musical - which is what these pedals are great for.

I love that detail orientation! And thank you for the description of how tremolo works in amps it tells me why no tremolo pedal sounds as 3D as my Swart AST PRO. 🎉

Great episode Keith! Great, useful information

My MEQ box was life changing and I'm 57. I think these folks are on to something.

Have a slide rig and revival drive compact that I love. Got a 61 deluxe for xmas, haven't got round to putting it on the board yet. Will now, thank you, great video.

It was good, Keith. I had no idea how much there is to learn about amps and electric guitars...and now petals. Thanks 😊

Have both the Revival Trem and the Magma '57. Love 'em; they're both outstanding products.

Origin Effects is a great company! I owned a slide slide rig deluxe for years... amazing!

The Origin pedals are fantastic. I love running the Deluxe 61 into a JTM45. Their black Bassrig Fender pedal sounds great on guitar as well. It has a tweed voicing that sounds killer.

I’m running this pedal into a lone star special mesa, clean channel, and it’s startlingly good. The tone is killer. Thanks to Adam Levy for suggesting the pedal.

I love the artwork on the pedal.

Good one Keith!

badass playing by pete, that's for damn sure

Good call

I've got one of these pedals in my shopping cart. I tried one of these amps live in Guitar Center and loved it, but my wife wouldn't let me spend the money on it. I went back 3 weeks later and it was sold. Now I can buy the amp in pedal form and can't wait. One of my favorite amp tones of all time.

Hey Keith. Love your tagline “getting the most from the least”. I have really embraced this. Make my living as a solo act and really enjoy not packing my favorite amplifier (65lb AC 15C2). And have leaned everything down as no one except me seems to notice that I’m using a UAFX 65 dream pedal. And I can get more usable tones without noise complaints. Anyway everyone is talking about plugging this into an amplifier, what about directly to house?

I've got a RevivalDrive and a Cali78 stacked edition, and I very rarely switch them our for other drives or compressors. I tried a ton of drive pedals, but the RevivalDrive felt like the best for 90% of the time. Excellent stuff overall. I'd love to check out one of their Fender style drives and see how it sounds thorugh my Vox AC15
