I would offboard wire the TILT: lefty-bassy, righty-trebly.

I watched another video about this boost (I'll what those video later). Is there somewhere some internal pictures?
Meanwhile, just to play...
Looking other Revv pedals I assume it's an op-amp based boost. The Tilt Eq control suggests the kind of tonestack.
Tight control... well, it depends. Anyway, it seems subtle.
And Drive? From the graphic it should add diode clipping (from the graphic: one? and not LED, but silison? Well... it's just the graphic). But in the video I watched I can't hear any loss of volume, nor too much drive increasing.

This is the tilt control similar to the one used in the diamond compressor. It tilts around 900Hz. I’ve been planning to breadboard a JFET or opamp boost in front of it with a volume control on the output just haven’t got around to it yet.
Have a look at the diamond compressor article on la revolution deux by Fred briggs.

This is the Tilt Overdrive with the Tilt Boost on the Right so Op Amp type tho' there is a transistor down the bottom?.
I only wanted this Tilt side from demo's of it:

Transistors Q10 (and Q9, too, in the overdrive side) is very close to the LED. Does it mean something? Maybe the transistor are out of the boost part.
The boost pot is C10k. Maybe the boost part is something close to the MXR Micro Amp? (The Micro Amp has a C500k, but the boost range is concentrated in a small part, and if it is so, the C10k in this boost is just a different value setting of the Micro Amp basic schematic).
Of course, as I said, I'm just playing around it. I could totally wrong!
P.S. Look at the two red LEDs!

Dont get me started on their Torsion Bar suspension!!!

I just designed an imitation of this boost (NOT original schematic!). It's just emulated on pc, not breadboard it or anything.
I have to say I didn't analyze the Tilt Overdrive PCB, but I expect my schematic is more simple than the original. I don't know if this is off topic, but would you want take a look at it and tell me how it could work? Or... why you don't try to do it, too?
When and if the original schematic will come up we will see how much is different from the ones we drawn!

Have a look at this write up from Tom from Electric Druid designing a hard clipping circuit with a tilt and mid boost/cut control.

Yes, thank you, I visited that page a few years ago.
Indeed, in my schematic, the tilt control I had already drawn come from it, probably. I just changed the pot from 100k to 50k.
