WHEN TONE LORDS like David Gilmour, David Grissom and Sonny Landreth top your list of prominent pedal users, it’s fair to say you’re making a pretty decent product. Founded in 2012 by Simon Keats, U.K.-based Origin Effects has developed a sterling reputation in the past several years among discriminating players for the vintage approved sonics and all-analog signal paths of flagship pedals like the Cali76 and the much-loved RevivalDRIVE, arguably one of the finest, and surely among the most expensive, front-end overdrive/amp pedals currently available.
Sure, Origin Effects like RevivalDRIVE and Cali76 are pricey by comparison to more mass-produced pedals, but they’re also not your garden-variety stompboxes. You won’t find any Klon clones, faux Screamers or demi DS-1s in their lineup. Instead, Origin has created a new class of overdrive pedal that mirrors each step in a Class A/B tube amplifier's signal chain, while focusing their customer base on professional players who know that investing in nuanced tone controls, premium components and roadworthy housings is a wise and worthy investment.
