  • Опубліковано 25 жов 2024
  • Trying out the Revv G4 distortion pedal. I nominated the G3 pedal as being the best distortion of 2018 but now they've released the G4. And I have a hard time choosing which one is the best.

    G3 - boosted JCM tone, G4 - rectifier scooped tone. Both are incredible gain tones for pedals that are more convincing/responsive than a lot of pedals that just sound like pedals

      You'll want a boost pedal in front of it. Honestly it's a great base distortion channel, but by itself, it's kinda lacking. I go from thinking it's just okay to being awesome by putting a tube screamer in front of it. The problem lies in the good quality of it, the saturation makes it sound kind of dull. The tube screamer really gives it that push to make everything sound crisp and tight.

    Hi Ola!
    Both pedals (G3 and G4) are great for chug and shredding (they are very versitale)! They are just different! As you have shown G3 has more bite, tightness and agression while G4 has more pleasant thickness. What`s the better? as to my mind it depends on the guitar which you are going to use with these pedals.

    Happy Yule Ola! Thanks for posting another awesome video! Can you please make a "Special Bass Video" where you share knowledge on how to better play it in a metal band? Thank you! And also do the burping thing more :))))
