Thanks for taking the time to show what the pedal can really do! If anyone has any questions, feel free to shoot them our way here!

[@Chris_Mckean]

Awesome sounding pedal!! Might have to get one to go in front of my Revival Drive!!

[@Bilsuburbians]

I dont know dude. But that pultec EQ (usually) was used for a fine tune after the cabinet. Why should we used that in front of/in fx loop of an amplifier? Does that redundant because the eq coloring in the end would be by amplifier or mic preamp (studio context) ?

[@OriginEffectsUK]

@@Bilsuburbians We've basically taken the Pultecs circuit and EQ curves, turning it into a versitile Mid-Booster and Drive pedal for guitar. It can be used for amp-like mid-forward drive tones. Like a Traditional OD but more tweakable, a different more valve-like style of overdrive characteristic and with the addition of our adaptive circuitry for fattering tones at any drive level.

[@Bilsuburbians]

@@OriginEffectsUK thank you for all the infos! Now its on point 🙏👌

[@shawntallet6792]

Best spot in signal chain?

[@mlewmisc]

It's only a matter of time before Origin visits the Treble Booster circuit, and that will be a happy day for mankind

[@Unusednickname_1970]

The M-EQ behaves in a similar way, especially if you crank the mid control. With the adaptive circuit engaged you get a sparkling clean tone when you roll back the guitar volume. I love me a good treble booster, but I think I prefer the M-EQ. Just as dynamic, but smoother and more tweakable.

[@Unusednickname_1970]

This has become my favorite OD pedal. I had been using a Boss SD-1 for years, and I still love that pedal, but the semi-parametric mid control, adaptive circuit, and cut control really sets the M-EQ apart from other OD pedals. Great pedal, great demo!

[@Sagerydian]

I have to say Origin is doing some cool stuff as of lately.

[@mariodriessen9740]

I love the playing AND I love the pedal. I have plenty of overdrives and other gain pedals, so when something comes up and you feel like it would really help with all the sounds you already have, then you know it's something good. ❤️

[@Art-zs6sl]

Your opening jam was inspired and fun! Great to see someone shred every once in awhile!

[@PeteThorn]

Thanks!

[@bluesful]

Gotta be one of the best solos on your intro tracks. Awesome stuff.

[@focusonjunta]

As always, the most accurate, useful and inspiring review! Thanks Pete - ordered!

[@Crunchifyable2]

It's a cool idea I'd like to hear more about studio concepts brought down to the level of pedals that can be used with amps. Lately I've been experimenting with a compressor in the effects loop to even out volume differences between a crunch channel and a clean channel, or between neck and bridge pickups or between single coils and humbuckers. And that's sort of the irony guitarists brag about dynamics all day long as if they're a good thing but when it comes down to good sound it needs to be squashed and leveled.

[@dougb5028]

Thanks Pete, well structured, informative with playing 1st and only the required talking.

[@BobbyDoesMusic]

Awesome sounding pedal, Origin nails it again! That's super cool with the adaptive mode too, it almost makes it sound like your guitar has a treble bleed on it!

[@Ryan-Hall]

That's a Sweet Drive/EQ!! I think it would be a great add to my Stomp Boxes, Super Song PETE! It's really Much More than I Thought it would be, Happy Thanksgiving PETE enjoy some unplug Time, if in TN come to our place and Chow Down Brother 🤠🦃🎸

[@musicmann1967]

Man, I love Origin Effects stuff. I use the hardware Pultec EQ's for mastering every day and I love what they do for music. Having the eq circuit pushing a drive circuit centering on different mid eq is a great idea, and in this demo sounds awesome overall. I wonder how it would sound going into my RevivalDrive? Maybe not, but it might sound cool stacked like that.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Maaaan - That gives the drive train that certain something that is never quite there, the thing you ONLY get from transformer coupled studio gear - In an age of 'silent stages' this is an essential! I want a dozen of them!!!

[@kenphillips3282]

Pphhhaaarrrrkkkk Pete!! You blew my mind with another kickarse short demo song. Sizzling stuff… and another damn pedal possibly going onto my board. Gonna need a bigger pedalboard 🤣

[@MarkKirbyMusic]

I’ve been thinking for years about this as an idea for a pedal! I think I mentioned it somewhere a time or two. Excited!

[@jairyessdebeer5228]

Freakin’ amazing intro track yet again Mr. Thorn! 💪🙌

[@BradMiller007]

Great track Pete. You always impress. Great idea to incorporate a Pultec into a pedal. I always have the waves Puigtec plugin on all my guitar tracks. Great work Origin Effects.

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I see it as a tool like an EQ. To be honest when it was used to tighten up a very clean sound I thought it sounds thin and scratchy. I own a few OD's like a Tube Screamer and Fuzz pedals where I put them on a setting that sounds like a hippo fart but stacked on a really good OD they can add killer girth to the sound.

[@tmitz73]

Blazin' Pete!! Anything Pultec is Kool with me Bruddah!!! Happy Thanksgiving to ya!!!!.... Keep on' Rockin'!!

[@phfrixion]

Awesome demo! What kind/brand of Les Paul model is that (sounds killer)?

[@linusheeda]

Hi Pete, I recently discovered the Boss ST-2 Legend Power Stack pedal and find it very interesting. Have you ever tested the pedal? Is that a sensible purchase? Greetings from Augsburg Germany Linus

[@billhillard]

Thank you Mr. Thorn for another professionally made, classy and informative video. Your videos are a well of knowledge for those of us who play for a living, but have a life and family and not the time to go to music stores and try the latest gear. You always have the best and most entertaining demonstrations of music gear around, sir. Thank you! Have a great holiday season. Thanksgiving, Christmas and whatnot. 🤘

Thanks so much!

[@evanmiller2579]

Amazing tones

[@mblueser3770]

Sounds beautiful. What delay is on that first lead tone?

[@PeteThorn]

I think it’s just sound toys stereo delay plug-in that I used!

[@pierrefitch]

What are 3 main thing to practice daily on guitar as a beginner Tom - been working allot on scale patterns and spider exercises and power chords

[@progpogs]

Can this be used as a boost? I think with the gain all the way down and level all the way up, if you dont boost mids its just at unity, is that right? You'd have to add gain to boost with it?

[@Apeshoot13]

Sick intro, Pete!

[@R0BL68]

The licks at 0:50 in…inspire me !!! ….to quit playing. Wow

[@albrownprod]

Pultec forever !!!

[@garconuncafecalva5992]

That's one nice Les Paul type guitar !

[@buzzcrumhunger7114]

Might replace the JHS Crayon on my wishlist... I was just looking at a thread on the GearPage that says the Studio mode of the Source Audio Zio is similar to the "pultec Trick", but I don't think it can get anywhere near this... It is kind of astonishing that it took this long for someone to make this kind of pedal. Or I could get all three...

[@4602experience]

Very fucking cool!!. Never fortuitous always killer

[@Back2TheBike]

Im still feeling my way with electric guitar, but can't understand why you'd want to pay £265 for a pedal when my Boss Katana cost £300 and can be programmed to replicate most tones. Anyone?

[@PeteThorn]

You can get guitars for 150 or $150,000… you can use a katana, which are great little amps for the money, or you can get a Dumble for 75K plus… welcome to the world of Guitar! It’s vast
