Title

The Shawn Tubbs Tilt Overdrive is the tonal culmination of a lifetime in music. Shawn not only needed a practical tone tool to give him the right sound quickly in any musical context, he aimed to combine the greatest vintage amp tones and recorded guitar sounds of all time into one ideal sound. Now that tone is available to you in an award-winning compact 9v double pedal with a unique Tilt Boost.

the boost

Shaping your guitar's sound at the source is very powerful, & the most common adjustments guitarists need to make are to the overall brightness & level of a tone. The clarity added here will translate organically throughout your entire setup while only having to adjust the Boost circuit. Of course, it also makes for an excellent solo boost, high gain tightener, & more.

the drive

Shawn wanted a balanced Drive sound that could be set in a wide variety of ways but always retained a core character. To Shawn, that was all about the mids: a preset fat but tight lower-mid sound that he's found to work on albums & refers to as "4x12 in a box." This means you can set the Gain to fit the situation & Treble to fit your amp & know you'll always have the right sound.

workflow

The Boost's EQ is about 'neutral' at 2:00. Turning left increases treble while decreasing bass. The Tight switch adjusts low end independent of the Tilt knob. The Drive circuit can go from nearly clean to quite distorted (balancing Gain & Volume unlocks many sounds!). After setting your favorite Drive sound, the Boost can easily adjust for guitar changes or be a 2nd gain stage. 

the guitar amp's greatest hits

The Tilt Overdrive is not based on any specific amp. Shawn has found that his favorite guitar tones are cranked single-channel amps: both vintage classics & rare boutique models. The touch-sensitivity & power amp engagement is important to a record-ready sound. So we developed a 'best-of-all-worlds' combination of those tones & distilled that organic vibe into one pedal. 

“I’ve been on so many different gigs that I know exactly what I need to perform. Cutting through the mix with the right mids, great feel that cleans up with your hands & the volume knob, a killer boost to kick in & just make everything sound better. Every time I’ve played an incredible vintage amp I’d get so inspired & that’s what went into this pedal. It’s all my favorite tones combined into one simple box. If you want to have my tone, well here it is in this pedal. But I think this pedal might help you sound like yourself.”

Shawn Tubbs has spent over 30 years developing his signature sound while working on sessions in L.A. &  Nashville & touring with Grammy Award-winning artists. Not only does he always have to have the right tone for the part, but he’s experienced the greatest vintage amplifiers & recorded guitar tones in history firsthand. When it came time for a signature pedal, he knew it’d not only have to get you a record-ready tone fast - it would have to sound unlike anything else out there & combine his favorite sounds of all time to achieve his dream tone.

The Tilt Overdrive is Revv's first signature product, which presented unique challenges & opportunities both to Shawn & our Founder/Designer Dan Trudeau. Taking a lot of care to combine Revv's signature tonality with the artist's needs & a focus on making unique gear not available elsewhere proved to be an invaluable approach to our designs. The Tilt Overdrive had 2 directives: a 'best-of-all-worlds' cranked single channel amp tone inspired by multiple rare amps Shawn cut his teeth on, & a sculpting boost that enables you to quickly shape your guitar's signal before it hits the rest of your rig. The result is a balanced Drive tone that works in a wide variety of musical situations, & a Boost that solves the common problems we encounter as guitarists.  Of course that's just the beginning - the Boost especially has been widely adopted by metal players for tightening high gain amps.
