Dirt Dog

Vintage Overdrive

Developed in collaboration with Juno-winning guitarist Joey Landreth. The Dirt Dog distills the unhinged, harmonically rich saturation of an overdriven late-1940s tweed circuit into a compact, tour-grade analog stompbox.

WATCH THE DEMO

vintage amp in a box

For roots, blues, and session guitarists who need a deeply expressive, vintage-inspired overdrive that responds like a cranked tube amp under their fingers, but with the consistency, direct-to-console reliability, and workflow speed modern schedules demand. 

engineered with joey landreth

As the frontman and guitarist for The Bros. Landreth, Joey Landreth is renowned throughout the music community for his expressive touch, roots-rock tone, and world-class slide playing. With multiple Juno Awards to his name and a Grammy-winning endorsement of his songwriting by Bonnie Raitt. Driven by a relentless pursuit of the perfect sound, he partnered with Revv to create a volatile  overdrive of his prized studio combo into a reliable, tour-ready pedal.

01 / Midrange

Tone (Midrange Voice Shifter)

the Dirt Dog's Tone knob acts as a broad midrange shifter. Turning clockwise yields a snarly, mid-forward attack that effortlessly cuts through a dense FOH mix. Sweeping counter-clockwise scoops the midrange slightly, producing a chewier, smoother texture that complements mid-heavy amps or creates a wider frequency spread for solitary playing.

02 / Treble

Bite (Treble & Presence Manager)

The Bite knob functions as a high-end presence control to manage upper-harmonic attack and top-end sparkle. Push the Bite knob to add clarity and brilliance to your tone without introducing harsh, ear-fatiguing "ice-pick" frequencies. Roll it back to tame high-end transients while keeping the underlying grit intact. 

03 / gain control

interactive gain & level controls

With Gain set low and Level pushed, the Dirt Dog acts as a formidable boost to drive your tube amp into natural preamp saturation. Cranking the Gain knob unlocks thick, harmonic overdrive that borders on a saturated, vintage-style fuzz at its maximum sweep.

04 / Dynamics

organic tube sag

Engineered to mirror the physical dynamics and electrical "sag" of a vintage tweed tube circuit. Transition smoothly from subtle clean nuance to a full-throttle roar depending on how hard you dig in. Clean up seamlessly when you roll back your guitar’s volume knob, letting you use it as an "always-on" engine.
