‘Dr Robert’ pedal Revolver tone replicating?

A few thoughts:

I don’t have the Dr Robert pedal but have read about it and listened to various demos etc.  I dig it and Revolver.  IMHO the Dr Robert is basically an analog amp sim and you should be able to approximate it with EQCompressor.

I spent a lot of time trying to make an H9/H90 clean Blackface Fender amp sim using EQCompressor.  It’s no state of the art modeler but I think I did pretty well (for what it is) and I have attached a jpg of that H9 preset.

I spent a few minutes guessing at how one could convert that BF preset to a Dr Robert preset and have attached a jpg of the result.   Honestly, though, I haven’t even listened to it so I’m only eyeballing it.  I reduced the bass, and added mid, treble, and “hair” I have included ranges for various parameters and suggest you start by trying to dial in the Dr Robert within these ranges (the ranges, too, are guesses so you may need to go outside them).

Three final points:

1 The “trim” parameter will add hair but it also adds level/volume.  If you add hair, you prolly also want to reduce the output to keep the same level.

2. One of the many lessons Ive learned again and again is that ears deceive when they get tired … and they get tired fast.   You need fresh ears to dial this in and it will take repeated effort.  The more you try harder/longer to get it, the worse it will be.

3.  If you do land on a good preset, please post a preset image here.  I’d love to try it.

Hope That helps!

For example:

“John most likely used his Epiphone Casino into a Fender Showman or Bassman amp. He did have a Gretsch 6120 that he used on Paperback Writer/Rain, but She Said She Said sounds warmer like the Casino to me. For this cover I’m also using an Epiphone Casino into my 1965 Fender Bassman amp. An Analogman King of Tone is being used as a boost to crunch it up (very slightly)

George played his 1964 Gibson SG Standard into a Vox UL7120 or UL730 amp for both lead guitar parts. I’m playing my 1970 Gibson SG Special, which is slightly different from George’s in that it has single coil P-90 pickups instead of humbuckers. I’m also using my Aclam Doctor Robert overdrive pedal into the Fender Bassman. This pedal is a clone of the Vox UL730 circuit, and mimicks the Revolver album tones perfectly.”
