Introducing the Revv Dirtdog Joey Landreth Signature Overdrive Pedal, now available at Mooloolaba Music.
This innovative and musically rich overdrive is crafted to elevate your creative journey. During the production of his album Dog Ear, Joey Landreth constructed a compact, whimsical, vintage-style amplifier, which he relied on for many of his signature sounds. Joey sought a dependable solution to incorporate that distinct tone into his rig for performances, and we were thrilled to collaborate with him. The Dirtdog captures the authentic analog essence found in Joey’s acclaimed music, allowing you to enhance your cherished clean tones or push the pedal to achieve a robust lead sound. Its thick midrange and naturally organic breakup will transport you to a classic era of music.
Joey Landreth has been a significant presence at Revv since nearly the company's inception. As fellow residents of Winnipeg, we've had the pleasure of exchanging ideas and seeking his insights on tonal development since the early days of the Dynamis amps. Having a versatile and esteemed musician like Joey nearby—especially one whose work we admire—has been invaluable. When he was ready to lead the way with his signature series of amps and pedals, he approached the task with seamless ease. Each product bearing Joey’s initials is meticulously designed for enhanced versatility and the organic character that both fans and guitarists have come to expect from this Juno-winning artist, who has inspired gear and playing styles in the music community for over ten years.
The creation of Dog Ear by the two-time Juno-winning Bros. Landreth was driven by the desire to capture their dynamic live sound, leading Joey to build a custom amplifier modeled after the compact, easily-driven designs from the '40s. This amp served as the foundation for many gritty tones on the record, but he also needed a dependable way to transport that sound during tours. Enter the Dirtdog: it offers a wide-ranging, organic distortion reminiscent of vintage amplifiers. Built to deliver punchy grit that can even sputter at high settings, the Dirtdog also has the capacity to enhance your clean tones and deliver those desirable ‘edge of breakup’ dynamics in your play. At its heart lies a musical, harmonically rich overdrive that responds beautifully to your technique, with its dense mid frequencies perfectly suited for classic tones—whether subtle or explosively bold.
Don't hesitate to reach out to Mooloolaba Music today to try this great sounding pedal.

Capturing The Magic
Joey Landreth found inspiration for the innovative Dirtdog from a quirky old-school amplifier he built himself while recording The Bros. Landreth album, Dog Ear. Although this amp delivered a perfect range of crunch tones, its limitations as a dimed small amp made it less than ideal for the road. With the Dirtdog, you can now infuse any amplifier with the touch-sensitive feel and rich harmonics reminiscent of vintage gear, all while drawing from Joey's modern-classic, rootsy, and eclectic recorded sound.
Vintage Breakup
What truly sets small vintage amps apart is their unique distortion when pushed to the limit, and when Joey challenged us to capture that elusive quality, we eagerly accepted. The Dirtdog distills the essence of old-school bloom and sag, creating a compact and reliable all-analog pedal that sounds musical across its entire range—from barely distorted to the exhilarating point of chaos.
The Technical Details
The Dirtdog functions as an amp-like overdrive, featuring a creamy, three-dimensional midrange. Set at low Gain with the Bite knob turned up to achieve a chimey edge of breakup, or crank the Level knob for a wild 'amp-on-10' experience. The interaction between the Gain and Level knobs allows for a fundamentally varied tone, giving you the ability to push your amp differently and explore the sonic possibilities.
More Than Tone
The Bite knob adeptly manages the treble response of the pedal, but you may wonder about the purpose of the Tone knob. This control shifts the midrange voice, delivering a snarlier, punchier sound when turned to the right or a chewier, scooped tone when turned to the left. The Dirtdog's controls work interactively, providing versatility for a range of applications where the position of each knob significantly influences the response of the others.
