(Hohner
Guitar Research) Revelation RTX
Another
ebay find. This rather unusual critter was made in Czechoslovakia and the
ATX pickups were made in the UK. The bridge pickups are actually two single
coils, one reverse wound/reverse polarity and wired in series. It originally
came with a tone cube from the factory but didn't seem to be too well suited
to high gain. I drew a wiring diagram then took it out and used the push-pull
tone pot to switch the bridge pickups between parallel and series. With
the Wilkinson roller nut and trem, wanging the whammy rarely puts it out
of tune. This one got melted too. The body is a lot deeper than it looks
in the picture and the sides are perfectly square. Do you remember those
little green Gumbys? If you were to look at this thing from an angle that's
what it would remind you of. The first thing that went through my mind
when I pulled it out of the case was Eddie Murphy on Saturday Night Live
yelling "I'm Gumby Dammit! |
