The Revv G3 set a new standard for high gain pedals in 2018 with its tube-like response & tight, clear high gain tones. Suddenly the same boutique tones used by metal artists & producers worldwide were available to anyone in a compact pedal. Now this V2 revision focuses on adding some thick low-end sag & even more gain on tap, to add more usable range while retaining the core “tight & clear” focus of the Purple channel. Optimized for use with a huge variety of rigs such as clean amp channels, directly into FX returns / power amps, & even use with modelers in hybrid setups.
the purple channel
Revv’s G-Series pedals are all-analog ‘amps-in-a-box’ based on the channels of our flagship Generator 120 MK3 amplifier. The G3 is the Purple tight high gain channel. The Purple channel originally put Revv on the map for its clarity & mix-ready sound that doesn’t require an overdrive even when downtuning. This means that from classic gain tones to modern brutality – you’ll hear every note.
three voices
The G3 utilizes the 3 Aggression voices from our Generator tube amplifiers. With the switch off you’ll get a very dry & stringy sound ideal for very low tunings or classic crunch tones. Blue will add saturation & be the sweet spot for many players. Red has the most gain on tap & can be useful for easy legato when soloing or simply a thicker rhythm sound if you dial the Gain knob back.
the technical details
The G3 is a very tight & aggressive pedal. We recommend starting on Blue aggression even for a high gain tone. Take care to adjust the Treble knob to match your amp, & make sure to dial the gain back a bit if you plan on boosting into the G3 with an overdrive. It’s a simple & toneful all-analog pedal that runs on traditional isolated 9 volt center negative power supplies.
authentic tone
Our amp-voiced distortion pedals have been a fan-favorite since the release of the original G3 in 2018. We take great care to not just make pedals that sound like our amps, but pedals that feel like our amps too. Tuned to work with a wide variety of amps & even modeling setups, Revv’s G-Series pedals are the best way to add a great “amp channel” to your rig.
