Complete "hot rod" valve amp style signal path with Class A preamp, long-tail pair phase inverter, and push-pull output stage.
Powerful post-drive EQ for tone shaping
RD COMPACT Hot Rod successfully packs the overdrive tone of a huge hot rod amp into a compact housing. Redefining the sounds heard in hard rock and early heavy metal, it continues the tradition of amplifier engineers of yesteryear while giving the sound even more gain and new character. It reproduces the signal path of a classic valve amp with a full analog circuit, providing not only the sound but also the dynamics, texture, and response of a hot rod amp.

When amplifier engineers in the 70's and 80's sought new and aggressive rock guitar sounds, they pushed the boundaries of what existing amps could do. Similarly to the RD COMPACT Hot Rod, ORIGIN EFFECTS pushed the possibilities of the already released RevivalDRIVE compact pedal to the limit, and the RD COMPACT Hot Rod was born.
Built on the overdrive sound of an actual valve amp, the RD COMPACT Hot Rod has even more saturation gain and fine-tuned voicing for a more characterful sound. By reproducing the power sag, it reproduces the subtle compression effect of a valve amp, providing the best sound for percussive riffs.
RD COMPACT Hot Rod is more than just a one-trick hard rock machine. The valve amp style signal path works just like the real thing, giving you the best clean sounds as well as distortion sounds.
POWERFUL POST-DRIVE EQ
Most overdrive pedals have compatibility with amps, and while they may work well with certain amps, there may be limitations in the environment in which they can be used. With RD COMPACT Hot Rod's post-drive EQ, you no longer have to compromise on your amp's clean sound settings. To use it, simply set the amp to your preferred clean sound, then adjust the EQ filter on the Sogo RD COMPACT Hot Rod.
