The Chatbreaker is based on the classic Bluesbreaker circuit, but with considerable updates made by Revv’s President Dan Trudeau.
Revv Amps are known for collaborating with artists & engineers, but they took inspiration from a new place for their Chatbreaker overdrive.
“Really, no matter what we prompted - we couldn’t get ChatGPT to put a functional pedal together. But I was looking at what it was returning & realized - it’s a Bluesbreaker! Well, it’s trying to be a Bluesbreaker. I always thought it would be fun to put my spin on that circuit, so after some major redesigns & testing - the Chatbreaker was born! It has that wonderful‘ warm-but-clear’ quality to add some old-school mojo to your sound. So did the experiment work? Not really. I don’t think A.I. is ready to replace all of us just yet. I guess this is more of an Artificial Idea with Human Intelligence.” -Dan Trudeau, President & Head Designer

The bass world has been clamoring for the return of the authentic, high-end Tobias basses, and now, Tobias has returned. Combining the look and tone of the finest exotic tonewoods, such as quilted maple, royal paulownia, purpleheart, sapele, walnut, ebony, and wenge, with the feel of the famous Tobias Asym asymmetrical neck and the eye-catching shapes of the perfectly balanced contoured bodies, Tobias basses are attractive in look and exceptional in playing feel. However, their sonic versatility is what makes them so well suited to the needs of modern bassists. The superior tone from the exotic hardwoods, premium hardware, and active Bartolini® pickups and preamps results in basses with the tonal flexibility that today’s players require. Don’t settle for less than a bass that delivers everything you want and need –the look, the feel, and the sound, Tobias.
