Decibelics The Reverend Overdrive in very good conditions with a few signs of wear. Including the original box.

Very versatile and dynamic overdrive, also perfect for boost or distortion tones and even gated/fat fuzz tones.

Only available via wait list otherwise.

Overview

The Reverend is my take on one of my all-time favorite pedals: The sought-after, vintage Bixonic Expandora – One of the first ‘Boutique’ pedals, Made in Japan, used among the greatest guitarists the likes of Joe Satriani, Megadeth, Bootsy Collins, Slipknot… And made famous by Billy Gibbons for its ZZ Top signature sound.

The Expandora was a phenomenal Overdrive/Distortion/Fuzz, a highly evolved Rat with an ‘expander’ circuit that made the pedal dynamically sensitive, allowing users to vary the amount of distortion with the pick’s attack or by adjusting their instrument’s volume knob. 

Imagine playing La Grange and being able to go from the clean part to the distortion part just by strumming harder. That’s the magic of this circuit! 

The Decibelics The Reverend is a part-for-part replica of the ‘Original Version’ EXP-2000 but with added best elements/characteristics of all three versions.
