Thanks for checking the pedal out! Cracking out the slide was much appreciated. If anyone has any questions, feel free to give me a shout here or via our own social media accounts where we'll be hanging out all day
If a bunch of grandmas heard your guitar playing without seeing you they would have no idea you were a kind hearted young family man from Canada who’s sweater is church service and Sunday dinner ready. Cheers man, keep the fun grooves coming!
Recently picked up the M-EQ. After many hours at home and a few rehearsals I am very impressed. This might be my all time favorite dirt pedal. It’s so dynamic, and the adaptive circuit is absolutely brilliant. Warm overdrive and sparkling clean all available from your guitar volume control. I’d love to see a deluxe version with the Revival Drive’s “MORE/PRES” control, and a BASS control. A bit more range on the level and drive would be nice as well. I’d buy that in a heartbeat.
Great stuff! I generally don't get too excited by drive pedals, but this thing is in a whole other category. I could easily see this replacing most of my existing drives. I've settled on the Timmy type as my favorite, but they're all usable. On another note, semi-related as you were playing a Yamaha in the intro, I finally found the AES820 I'd been seeking for a while. It's everything I'd hoped for! What a fantastic design... it has straight line string path, with custom, locking Sperzel tuners, a really nice wide and flat neck/fretboard, great pickups with some subtle but useful filters, and weirdest of all, the strat-style jack is on the rear of the guitar. I still find myself using teles mainly, but this Yamaha is putting a dent in that. By far the highest quality guitar I own, even if it doesn't do tele sounds very well.
Interesting: I went to my very first country concerts this past year. Ultimate Marshall tones everywhere. From Alabama; the band, to Cadillac 3 . Kinda boring now lol. Steep Canyon Rangers Americana with a well compressed and almost feeding back upright bass and a Banjo through a Kemper was truly dope.
Great demo Jay, you’re a true talent & gorgeous soul. Not sure on Rack gear, not very familiar them. I was thinking I’d like to see easier to use sequencer/arpeggioator type pedals to add to a looper
Great demo as always Jay. I just received my Cali76 Stacked edition, Origins pedals are in a category above the rest IMHO. If they ever decide to do reverbs and or delays.... watch out UAFX and Strymon!
Great demo as always. Pedal seems to lend itself very well to slide work 👍👍 Unfortunately all these new pedals are putting the price point so high that they are not making them available for the common user 👎😡 it's like the cali76. I was going to buy one, but at a $400 price point I can get another Amp or a pretty decent quality backup guitar. So it looks like I won't be adding origin products to my pedalboard.
@@JesseJuup Nope. I can turn down my own bass if I want less bass. I don’t need a pedal that has someone else’s idea of what my EQ should be, built into it.
@@darwinsaye but this IS an EQ pedal. Its based on the famous pulteq. Its not a tubescreamer is thats your question. Theres thousands of other pedals out there but its odd to comment about not wanting an eq effecting pedal on a vid about a specifically coloured eq pedal lol but to answer your question this has the Origin “adaptive” tech which effects how transparent the pedal is. You should check out the new empress paraeq which is a really true transparent eq with the ability to dramatically effect important guitar frequencies
The M-EQ DRIVER is fundementally a very different circuit from a TS style pedal. Rather than diode clipping, the M-EQ DRIVE utilises a transistor push-pull output stage giving valve-like feel and response from clean to fully saturated. The MID and CUT bands are pulled from the classic Pultecs of the 1950s, with the MIDS pushing into the push-pull stage and the CUT attenuating after. All done in analogue, designed and built in the UK.
Pretty cool but makes more sense for me to use an eq pedal. I'm not sure why you requested a 50s sounding pedal when u didn't Play a lick of 50s style rockabilly rock and roll etc...
50s music doesnt define the sound of pultecs. Pultec EQs helped define every single year of recorded music since their conception. Also probably rarely used to boost guitar amps. If anyone knows, I'd love to check out some examples of MEQ-5s used that way.

Great work on this one! Lots of killer sounds in this box :)

Always so great to hear from you man!!!! Thanks :)
Leonard plays such a nice electrical guitar

Best sounding useable drive I've heard so far.
Yeah, it is a blast to play with!
Excellent playing as always, great demonstration of this pedal!
Jay is quite good isn't he!
Great review! I have one of these pedals in the post so looking forward to it arriving.
That Telecaster sounds amazing too!
Thanks :)

Sounds like country music in a box, in the best way possible ;)

Yeah, the team at Origin always knocks it out of the park!
Your slide playing is crazy
I really appreciate it! Thanks :)
Hi Jay ,
I want to know your Yamaha Guitar is Standard or Professional ?
My Yamaha is a RSP20CR Pro :)
Damn you Origin! My wallet 😫
Great demo as always. Pedal seems to lend itself very well to slide work 👍👍

So it looks like I won't be adding origin products to my pedalboard.
is it good to stack it with revival drive compact hot rod?
That would be a killer combination!
My primary question whenever I see any new "mids" boost/drive effect: does it castrate bass frequencies?
Hopefully so if it is to be used on guitar.
@@JesseJuup Nope. I can turn down my own bass if I want less bass. I don’t need a pedal that has someone else’s idea of what my EQ should be, built into it.
this is why i use the seymour duncan 805. has low mid and high eq knobs.
yes. if i understand correctly, pushing mids into harmonic saturation will dampen the bass range.

you have tablas me too : )
so this is just a fancy tube screamer? I'll stick with my seymour duncan 805 for most likely a third of the price of this thing

I'm talking about this video. I know the guy can play that stuff. Yet didn't in his video about a 50s inspired pedal
