Revv G3 Pedal: revvamps.bigcartel.com/product... A genuine surprise, it must be dark voodoo: A high gain distortion pedal that actually sounds good! Revv G3 is based on the metal channel of their Generator 120 amplifier and is made in Canada, presumably from bewitched talismans of pure evil.
Bud what the hell you mean "finally"? vintage Traynor amps are the absolute BOMB. Proud since the '60s :) Oh and also : Ward-Beck studio/broadcast audio gear :)
Many more indeed! Let us not forget Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Martyr and Exciter! Oh and not metal but Skinny Puppy are revered world-wide and are badass too! Be proud, brothers!
Just discovered (and subscribed to) this channel and dude...you are by FAR the best at what you do with the content you make. I've basically sacked an entire day at work watching your vids. Please keep up the strong work, my friend!
Great demo Colin!!! The only thing keeping me from immediately buying this pedal is that I own the amp. I still may end up getting it as I own other amps as well.
Playing all the Trivium. It's surprisingly good. I was all set up to be as disappointed as I usually am with metal pedals, but bugger me sideways if it didn't flip that frown upside down.
That's great - after hearing both your review and Rabea's I really want one of these... even though I have no use for one and can't afford to blow 200 quid on a pedal.
I don't think selling a bunch of my shite pedals (including the worst flanger in the world) and my EQ pedal will cover it! My mrs would kill me if I took it out of savings.
Guys, new concept: Scottish prog djent. It's all groovy n such like Periphery or Abstracts But only scottish people can understand the words Also will feature celtic rock influences, and Biffy.
I’ve been running a 50 watt Marshall jmd:1 and when I want to play real heavy metal I’ve been using a light distortion channel and stacking a metal zone (on very low gain setting) in front and I’ve been getting pretty cool sounding results. I’d like to try the same with this pedal. It does have an impressive tight tone on its own. (Where the metal zone does not. 😂😎)
This pedal in front of an already bright or high treble amp/guitar...you cannot use the settings for the treble he uses....it will literally break your ear. I have to set the treble at like 10 o clock. Otherwise it turns into twang at about 11-12 followed by the 1 o clock ear bleed. It's really deceiving almost because when you go from like 12 to 10 o clock on the treble it sounds too muffled. Yet after setting the stuff down and coming back later, it sounds like you never turned the treble down...really weird when it comes to sounds.
The fact you have a fan blowing your hair is simply majestic....im as amazed as if i have seen a new Colins Sexy Guitars Tshirt. I hope i'll have a chance to meet you sometime (nohomo)
CSGuitars That’s what that was! I thought I heard something on there from Ember; I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it! Niiice. Hey, question: I was wondering if you might consider doing a review on another overdrive pedal: the MXR EVH 5150. I know what it can do, and I’ve been able to dial in some awesome tones from it. But I was wondering if you would be able to do a review video comparing to the TS-9. I took your advice from another video and essentially have been using the EVH as a booster; similar to the application of the TS-9, but I’d like to get your take on how they stack up against one another. Just figured I’d ask. Cheers Colin! Keep it heavy! 🤘🏻
Hey Colin. I love your videos and I love sharing them with my friends. I was wondering if you could do a review of the Orange Omec Teleport pedal. Keep up the good work man!
sounds a bit trebly for my taste but that's probably fixable. i suppose my main question would be; how does this compare to the mxr evh 5150 overdrive pedal? i already have one of those and it sounds pretty damn good.
Yes, it's a MONSTER pedal, and I recommend it. Any clean channel I run it into just comes to life (obviously), but I also have used it direct into a cab sim, like the DSM UniCab, and the JOYO CAB BOX, freaking amazing, and can eliminate the need for an amp for a compact travel "rig on a board" type of thing.
If I wasn't already pleased with my amps tone, I'd by buying one of these. Perhaps i will get one at some point and dial it in different to get a different gain sound
4:28 is that a bit of jangly unamped electric guitar string i'm hearing? I thought it was a sound in my room, it was so quiet. Thanks for making me look around like an idiot. Great video 10/10
Seems that i am the only person in the world that doesn’t like the G3. I really wanted to like it - it sounds sooo fucking freakin awesome in all this review vids (Ola, Rabea, I’ve seen them all)! After watching these I thought this must be a hell of a pedal. But after checking it out tonite in my bands rehearsal I must say (and I hate to say this): it just can’t compete with my amp gain! Compared to this it sounded cold, artificial and unpleasant. Just like any other distortion pedal I tried before. I always come back to tube amp Gain with a clean boost up front and maybe an FX-Pedal in the loop. Seems that nothing can beat this for me. So for me it’s still true: Distortion Pedal do actually suck! Even this one.
Does it sound better when standing in front of an industrial fan? Haha, nice review. I have to say from all of the reviews out there this sounds best to me. Versatile thing.
If you're familiar with it, how would you say this pedal stacks up against the Horizon Devices Precision Drive that Misha Mansoor helped to develop? Obviously that's used more as a pedal that tightens up the low end and bumps up the gain of an already driven amp to get a high gain sound instead of being a strictly high gain style signal like the Revv, but I'd love to see how they compare since they accomplish very similar functions.

Come on. Everyone on UA-cam? Please? Please compare this to amt b2 pedal.
i am going to replace my modded metal zone with this (I am not joking about the metal zone). this sounds good to me
arnyarny77 Metal zone should sound good as preamp.
"Tighter than a duck's arse" is a phrase I will now keep in my lexicon for the rest of my life. Thanks, Colin!
Obviously Colin's never met any duck I've been around ;)
Great, now i will be able to go all the gain while also being haired!
Your playing’s improved, Colin! Sounding great man
0:31 when you are playing a killer riff and your ki starts to increase
I love the idea of distortion pedals becoming a legitimately viable option as distortion, hope this starts to become normal. Also love your vids man!
They always have been. Dont you know randy rhoads?
Dude! Your best song ever!
Thanks, for something I threw together really quickly it turned out rather good.
I'd definitely buy this if you an album like this
wow, very impressive indeed... tight is the word! these guys nailed it. finally I can be proud of being Canadian...
You guys have RUSH and Neil Young, Justin "Cat Scratch" Bieber and national healthcare. Be proud brother.
Bud what the hell you mean "finally"? vintage Traynor amps are the absolute BOMB. Proud since the '60s :) Oh and also : Ward-Beck studio/broadcast audio gear :)
We have ANVIL, Helix, Kick Axe, Killer Dwarfs, Lee Aaron, Annihilator, Voivod, Kittie, Razor and many more. @@russwilson2305
@@MorleyRobertson1975 Ya had me at ANVIL and Voivod.
Many more indeed! Let us not forget Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Martyr and Exciter! Oh and not metal but Skinny Puppy are revered world-wide and are badass too! Be proud, brothers!
I was sold when you started playing Trivium \m/
Isa Tariq same
Getting right back into early Trivium at the moment, the sound of this pedal suits that style very well.
Boat! Rudder! Strange! Mountains!
Ascendancy is SO great!
The best review of this pedal. Great playing.
I like the Trivium riffs you snuck in there.
I thought I heard 'Dying in your Arms' in there. 🤘
Wow, it sounds so much better in front of the amp! Great pedal and great video!! :)
Just discovered (and subscribed to) this channel and dude...you are by FAR the best at what you do with the content you make. I've basically sacked an entire day at work watching your vids. Please keep up the strong work, my friend!
Amazing playing Colin. You make it look easy too. Fab tones and great sound without tons of shredding wankery.
Dude, having watched several reviews on this pedal, I gotta say your tone was by far my favorite. Awesome intro demo track as well!
Watched this video. Three hours later, I was still air guitaring to that tune in the shower. Great work, Colin!
you make the best demo songs on youtube now! (but to be honest i miss the flute from the last video)
Great demo Colin!!! The only thing keeping me from immediately buying this pedal is that I own the amp. I still may end up getting it as I own other amps as well.
Wow.... just... fucking wow!
That completely floored me, and I am absolutely going to get my hands on one of these.
0:34 fan settings plz ?
All the -gain- torque!
Everyone on UA-cam seems to have upped their game recently. This rocks!
We're you playing a bit of Trivium there? Seen a few reviews of this now and it does sound good.
Playing all the Trivium.
It's surprisingly good. I was all set up to be as disappointed as I usually am with metal pedals, but bugger me sideways if it didn't flip that frown upside down.
That's great - after hearing both your review and Rabea's I really want one of these... even though I have no use for one and can't afford to blow 200 quid on a pedal.
That old guitarist dilemma: don't need it, can't afford it, but still want it. I've got a long list of gear that fits that description.
I don't think selling a bunch of my shite pedals (including the worst flanger in the world) and my EQ pedal will cover it! My mrs would kill me if I took it out of savings.
These last few vids have been absolutely killing it, loving the energy put into them
Man, I really like your channel, both the content and your personality. Keep rocking!
Those low end pick squeals at around 3 minutes are amazing!
Guys, new concept:
Scottish prog djent.
It's all groovy n such like Periphery or Abstracts
But only scottish people can understand the words
Also will feature celtic rock influences, and Biffy.
Belter
"Prog djent" lol
You might as well be saying Prog twice. Djent is just the bastardized term for Progressive Metal.
I thought it was all Scottish anyway
Ohhhhhh those Trivium riffs sounded so fricking good!!!!
Great video, Colin!!!
Just got mines today man this pedal is freekn sick no lie
Inspiring little pedal, eh? That's hands down the best song I've ever heard you play, man. Thumbs up for playing a little Trivium, too.
It's not bad actually...
Just needs more gain...
N less mids...
the Eiger Advocate SLAAAAYEEER
No. Mids are good.
Luis Barrera na scoop that shit 10 0 10 for life
Hey Colin where can i send you more fans for your hair?
I am serious when I say that hair and the fan thing was the the shit. The super tight riffing probably sealed the deal.
I’ve been running a 50 watt Marshall jmd:1 and when I want to play real heavy metal I’ve been using a light distortion channel and stacking a metal zone (on very low gain setting) in front and I’ve been getting pretty cool sounding results. I’d like to try the same with this pedal. It does have an impressive tight tone on its own. (Where the metal zone does not. 😂😎)
Trivium baby! yeah! Just ordered mine, can't wait to enjoy it.
Congrats in advance on 100k subs!!
I put my phone down while cuddling with my dog, then he pressed this video #noregretsdoggo
Sounds awesome btw!
Sick name ;)
3:23 - I couldn't identify why I always gave a childish giggle when Colin plays this tune.
Then I looked it up and remembered...
BOOOOAT! RUDDER!!
Sounds awesome!! Gotta give this one a try!! The jams were sweet too, great work!!!
Do a shootout video of Revv G3 vs a Metal Zone.
Just kidding.
How about reviewing the Wampler Dracarys and doing a shootout between the two?
Good idea, I'll have a word with Mr Wampler.
I'd like to see that as well
Make it vs the Friedman BE too while you’re at it but good luck getting Friedman to send you one
METALZONE
ALL THE GAIN
NO MIDS
TRVE KVLT
The Dracarys is a cool pedal too. I like lots of Brian's amp-in-a-box pedals. Dual Fusion and Plexi Drive rock.
Trivium+CSGuitars=Hell yeah
Now that's quite a cool device thingy? Top job mate!!
Man, this thing is fucking aweso...
*looks at price*
Oh... *backs away with a tear in the eye*
This pedal in front of an already bright or high treble amp/guitar...you cannot use the settings for the treble he uses....it will literally break your ear.

Yeah man!! Congrats on those 100k+ subscribers. Well deserved and earned!! Any celebration I missed? Or you are too good for that? +Csguitars?
Totally digging the nuclear radiation strap. Fits the heavy metal style perfectly.
So many awesome pedals get in the way of affording an amazing amp. My G.A.S is throught the roof with this.
Fuck I loved your describtion of the R&D team from Revv.
Very Random, but I love how the beginning jam is in Cm. Sounds very fresh to our Em (Drop D at best) tuned ears.
AWESOME PLAYING MAN!
Wish it wasn't so bloody expensive.
Worthy of Trivium! Great review, thanks!
The fact you have a fan blowing your hair is simply majestic....im as amazed as if i have seen a new Colins Sexy Guitars Tshirt. I hope i'll have a chance to meet you sometime (nohomo)
Never heard you play some Trivium before! Nice! Some nostalgia!
Best distortion pedal I’ve ever heard!
That sound is verry nice indeed, the solo also sounded nice.
Nice hat tip to Trivium; throwing down some Dying In Your Arms, and some Pull Harder! 🤘🏻
Little bit of Requiem in there too
CSGuitars That’s what that was! I thought I heard something on there from Ember; I just couldn’t quite put my finger on it! Niiice. Hey, question: I was wondering if you might consider doing a review on another overdrive pedal: the MXR EVH 5150. I know what it can do, and I’ve been able to dial in some awesome tones from it.

Best review yet!
The power from the gain was moving his hair.
Hey Colin. I love your videos and I love sharing them with my friends. I was wondering if you could do a review of the Orange Omec Teleport pedal. Keep up the good work man!
Hell yeah, almost at 100k subs!
Playing Trivium ? Instant like !
Finally youre about to get to 100k subs
The Revv stuff sound so good!
sounds a bit trebly for my taste but that's probably fixable. i suppose my main question would be; how does this compare to the mxr evh 5150 overdrive pedal? i already have one of those and it sounds pretty damn good.
The pedal IS impressive.....
Thanks!~
Nice Trivium riffs! I'm seeing them on Saturday (:
Nearly jumped out of my chair when I heard Trivium!!!
I've gone one...it's great
Okay. Try out this pedal with some of those T H E C C P E C C S though
Love the trivium riffs
TAKING ME BACK TO ASCENDANCY!!
Cool riff!
Why does the power light on the orange head repeatedly turn off at the end of shots in the playthrough?
The fan sold it! Metal hair!
The fan was 100% necesary to make your fabulous hair fly
Wonder how this compares to the Super Badass that's been on my board forever... Is the Revv g3 really worth it?
Yes, it's a MONSTER pedal, and I recommend it. Any clean channel I run it into just comes to life (obviously), but I also have used it direct into a cab sim, like the DSM UniCab, and the JOYO CAB BOX, freaking amazing, and can eliminate the need for an amp for a compact travel "rig on a board" type of thing.
I actually love the diversity one can get from this
I'm in the process of inventing a distortion pedal that also contains a fan for blowing hair!!!
That pedal is sick bruh love it
Hair was on point!
what's that cbs string mute? a friend of mine and I was looking for that thing forever!
Great playing this video!
Gotta appreciate the trivium riffs
If I wasn't already pleased with my amps tone, I'd by buying one of these. Perhaps i will get one at some point and dial it in different to get a different gain sound
Love the riff
super pedal !!Thanx
Love the trivium tunes
Hi.. excellent video. I do not stop watching it..... I have a question.. What is the brand of every guitar you use?.. Thank you...
4:28 is that a bit of jangly unamped electric guitar string i'm hearing? I thought it was a sound in my room, it was so quiet. Thanks for making me look around like an idiot.
Great video 10/10
I've been looking at klones, blues overdrive, blues drivers, and a plethora of hugh gain pedals, but i think i may just get the G3
Seems that i am the only person in the world that doesn’t like the G3. I really wanted to like it - it sounds sooo fucking freakin awesome in all this review vids (Ola, Rabea, I’ve seen them all)! After watching these I thought this must be a hell of a pedal. But after checking it out tonite in my bands rehearsal I must say (and I hate to say this): it just can’t compete with my amp gain!

So for me it’s still true: Distortion Pedal do actually suck! Even this one.
Damn that's a good looking explorer!
Immense playing dude! What gauge stings you running? Looks like cotton thread!
I didn't know BraveHeart played guitar
Your hair is majestic
Woah, check out all his majesty! Might throw this in front of my Fender Bassman for shits and giggles.
Maybe for modern mainstream Metal will do the trick, but I don't think it's gonna cut it for more primitive Black and Death Metal.
Does it sound better when standing in front of an industrial fan? Haha, nice review. I have to say from all of the reviews out there this sounds best to me. Versatile thing.

GREAT GREAT REVIEW
I'd like to hear it through that orange micro dark you reviewed last year
the demo song sounds old school metal AF
