  • After the extremely popular G3 pedal, Revv decided to breathe the massive saturation from their red channel into a pedal as well. Let's see what it does and send it into tons of amps, compare it to the red channel from the Generator 7-40 and the G3 and use different guitars as well... any more questions?

    I don't need this kind of distortion very often, but when I do, I need something simple, that I can just kick in, and have it work. This sounds great. I'm looking at this and the G3, as well. The Empress is great, but I don't need that much Heaviness, all the time, and certainly not enough to justify the price, and the size of that pedal. Thanks!

  • @gillesradenne2117
    @gillesradenne2117 Před 5 lety +5

    Great sounding pedal, I'm much more interested in this one than in the G3.
    About the color changing led, apart from the led cost, it would need a much more complex circuit around the bypass switch.
    A separate bicolor led for the agression level would be way easier to achieve I think. And "bicolor" can have three different colors, it's actually two leds in one package, say here a blue and a red one, so you can light both to get purple...
    There are a lot of situations where the most logical thing from the user/player point of view is waaay more difficult to do than the easiest one for the designer. Like all 3 way switches where the middle positions gives the highest/lowest setting, something you've bitched about in some Wampler pedals. You can't do otherwise, it comes from the way these switches work.

    The Revv G3 is a much more versatile pedal, it definitely has more mids and tons of gain than the G4, especially sitting in a mix. I bought my G3 in May of 2019 and play everything from Deftones, Slipknot, Tool, Megadeth and even lower the gain and can play classic rock like Zeppelin, Hendrix, Gary Moore and so on. It has more gain then you will need for any music.

    When it comes to any red box distortion (most pedals really) I have to ask, what does this pedal do that others like it don't? Because these days, if you want my money in a saturated market, you had better stand way out in front of the crowd.

    • @emartinezr
      @emartinezr Před 8 měsíci

      1. it's a full amp in a box (you can run it on an FX loop or direct to a Cab)
      2. 3 tone/gain flavours with the aggression modes. They add a gain stage but also slightly change the voice.
      3. Very effective and simple EQ.
      Other than that... it's the tone. On these sort of pedals, in the current market, you pay for a specific tone/voice. Not necessarily all the features. And the tone, you either like or not. Almost the same as most amps... you get them mostly for their specific voice.

Just wondering if you could provide me with some feedback on your thoughts of using the Revv G3 or G4 with the Orange Rocker 15 head and matching cab. I currently that amp and was looking at these pedals and was wondering which one possibly plays nicer with the said amp. I am a big fan of the Rocker 15 and I know it can be a little temperamental with different pedals. Thanks take care

    Love you Henning but gotta be honest about this thing....
    The cost difference for a RGB (which means "all the colors you want") is silly...
    As if that's not silly enough, they have drilled a fucking round hole instead of machining or using a screwed-on power socket. Sorry but I do have Pedals for 30 bucks that do have pcb-mounteded power sockets wich are inlet (you slide them on there) and properly held in place without any strain on the solder-connection/pcb.
    These things sound great, but for the price I expect proper build quality and not a fucking ugly hole like I've built the thing myself. No wait, my DIY builds use proper power sockets (but the cases look seriously ugly, gotta admit that).
    Step it up guys, this is just not what ppl should expect for more than 200 bucks.
