Shawn Tubbs should be a household name as far as great guitar players go. One of the finest players who also has a deep understanding of all of the gear he presents here. Thank you Shawn for sharing your chops and tune arrangements here for us to enjoy!
I love that your review multi - channel amps from a perspective of a multi-discipline/style perspective, and not just from a HI GAIN METAL perspective.
1 year later I managed to get a 100P MK3 . This amp is a monster and can do everything from clean to High gain. The feel is awesome even with the two notes direct to the Audio Interface.
Wow! Absolutely stunning amp; I can't think of anything else to add to it other than having me play like Shawn when I use it. Might be the best amp video I've ever seen. I'm sold!
I was hoping this vid would have a Shawn Tubbs intro song, and was not disappointed! There's so much here, different guitars (that 12-string!) and tones, sparkly, crunchy, smoothly sustaining, and cool, chewy chords! And of course your amazing soloing - melodic, outside, blazing! Just brilliant, I will listen to this piece a bunch of times.
@@PooNinja haha! Yeah .. I really liked the idea of the same color with gold faceplate, yet without the snake skin thing. Unfortunately that tolex is only available in that "electric blue" or in red and with snake skin pattern. I now might opt for something similar like shawns but in dark brown and with silver faceplate. What would you think of that?
@@dragonsquare2802 I think it’s called bronco brown or something looks like tooled leather sounds sweet. if that’s a big if I could afford the gen 120m3 , I’d find a source and send a bolt of the tolex I want . “ full custom” royal purple poo ninja edition full stack 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@PooNinja nice! I would do that as well, but what I REALLY liked would be a proper lacquered tweed coating. Unfortunately their supplier only carries fake tweed. Even if I sent them real tweed the process of putting it on would probably not possible for them. I might ask them though ^^ Oh.. and the name on the website of their tolex supplier is country western 😂
Only thing that could make it better would be double fx loop so you can use stereo pedals with only one amp, that would be cool since it had L/R outputs
I use the Two Notes Torpedo Captor 8 then take the DI out to my stereo fx: Then send the signals into a stereo pair of Two Notes Cab M plus devices. I use a Noise gate (NS-2) at the front and loop of my Mesa Nomad 100 with an Empress Para EQ. I can run wet/dry/wet. I can switch to my ADA MP-1. Thinking of looking for a switcher to swap inputs and outputs between the head and preamp. I have to use a power supply on my amp to power the NS-2 Para EQ, and Two Notes To Captor 8, unless I use phantom power on the XLR output. The REVV has all that stuff built in.
Awesome features in that amp but if I just listen to the tones I am still happy with my Friedman BE 100 Deluxe (which you reviewed with that same Suhr). Nice review and intro as always.
Hi Shawn! Great video as usual. Talking about the 1st channel. Does it tend to break up using humbucker pickups?You have played it in the video only using single coils but it could have been useful to hear it with more hot pu. Anyway thank you 👍
The first channel of the 120 MK II has quite a bit of headroom. It would be more apt to break up sooner with a high output humbucker than single coils but it's very clean.
I've been looking at another high gai amp head if not a modeler or Kemper profiler. I have as my more vintage high gain amp, my Bogner 20th Shiva, and I set it up to do clean, vintage gain, high gain and boosted gain with the included footswitch. With the Revv, can you set it up so that each channel l is a gainer version of the one before? I would want to set it up as clean - crunch - high gain - higher gain and then I'd use the loop for EQ and effects. I ask because I had a Mark V and I couldn't get it to work this way. Each channel was too different from one another. I love what I hear of the Revv and while it would be cool to set it up as four different or unique sounding channels but I need to set it up as four channels that blend well together more like gain stages or layers of gain. But I guess with thr midi switching and ability to adjust gain at the footseitch, I could do all of this and more. The band I'm in plays bands from Rush and The Police to STP to Alice in Chains to Iron Maiden. A pretty wide mix.
Sounds great but I couldn't deal with that many knobs on my amp. Mine has 5 and some days I just wish they were permanently set and all I could adjust was the volume.
Really great playing on this one Shawn. I preferred the built in IR tones better. I think it must be the V30 I hear that just turns me off on some of your demos..
You’re a great artist. Thank you for your video demos. I have a question: I play a lot of styles from jazz to country to classic and modern rock. I would like to consolidate down to a single tube amp. Do you think the Revv is the best option?
Thanks so much for the kind words. The Generator 120 would be a good choice as it's incredibly versatile. The embedded TwoNotes reactive load makes it even more usable.
I know It's a crazy question, and maybe I missed the feature, BUT are there attenuation/low watt modes like the G20 has? Excellent, demo, playing & info!!!!
@@ShawnTubbs do you like the WGS Veteran 1x12 REVV cab with it? unfortunately I would have to buy a cab because both my cabs are 16ohm and it looks like you can only do 4 or 8 on the g20
hello shawn great review and playing sounds great what amp do you like better the dynamis or this and does it sound good at lower volumes like smaller gigs thanks have a good one
Hi Lukas, the 120 MK3 is really quite a bit different than the Dynamis. The Dynamis is a 40-watt, 6V6 powered two-channel amp. In general, the Dynamis has a slightly more compressed overall feel and has less gain than the 120MK3. The clean channel on the Dynamis is beautiful but will break up sooner but was also designed to take pedals extremely well. The drive channel on the Dynamis is less aggressive and has less gain than the 120 MK3. The 120 MK3 has loads of headroom because it is a 120-watt 6L6 powered amp. The clean channel is extremely clean in nature and though it does take pedals well, the Dynamis is better suited as a pedal platform amp. As far as low volume playing goes, the Dynamis is a lower wattage amp so in theory, it would be better, but keep in mind that the 120MK3 can be switched down to 10 watts and also has the advantage of having the Two Notes embedded tech onboard. If you prefer to use pedals and have a great 40- watt platform amp, go with the Dynamis but if you prefer to have a channel switching amp, look and the Generator MK3.
@@ShawnTubbs that was supposed to be a two part question what do you think of the Tyler guitars? and if you had to pick one revv amp which amp would it be?
Dude Im sorry but Im single white femaling you right now.Another great video with great playing.This is the sound and the playing ive been wanting to play like.

You're very kind. I'm just happy to be known on my street! Thanks again.
I love that your review multi - channel amps from a perspective of a multi-discipline/style perspective, and not just from a HI GAIN METAL perspective.
That lead playing in the end of the intro seemed to be stepping outside of your normal style but man you crushed it.
Thanks so much!

Coffee + Shawn + New Revv amp = Wakey-wakey smooth and tasty !
The name of my next album is going to be called "Optional Text". Thanks Shawn!
That opening was the most amazing and danceable opening I have ever heard.
It really is right? It's incredible how the greats can take a simple idea and make is something super musical and cool
@@FabrizioPeretti
Yes. I danced like a crazy person.
Haha, thanks so much!

Thanks very much!

It’s a metal amp while his playings cool he’s not showing off the true nature of the beast
Another great show of musicality and talent. Thanks Shawn.
Thanks very much!!
Who would have said that a 120 watts amp would be the perfect amp for home use . Great video as usual. Great song too...
Thanks!

Great amp and ferocious playing
The timing of that half-tone bend at 1:37 is so perfect!

Thank you!

both kinds country and western 🤣
Stunning amp, and stunning playing. Great job. This video helped convince me to order one....Thanks for posting.
Awesome!! Thanks so much for watching Dave and congrats on your new amp!
@@ShawnTubbs just arrived today.....can't wait to unpack it
🤘🏽REVV Rules!🤘🏽I need a poster of that as the pinnacle of my vision board!! 2m x 1m ( product enlarged to reflect actual the size of the tone!!!!)
Nice demo, the work with that tele really helped me see that the Revv Generators can do more than metal! Thx!
Thanks! REVV amps are really versatile and are capable of capturing a broad spectrum of tone. It's all in how the individual dials them in.
Only thing that could make it better would be double fx loop so you can use stereo pedals with only one amp, that would be cool since it had L/R outputs
AMEN !!!!!!!! I've been hoping for more builders to put stereo fx loops in their amps FOREVER!!!!! I agree my friend!!!!!
Just awesome....nice phrasing.., always makes my day!!
Thanks so much!
Really good demo...many thanks to you Mr ST
Great sounding amp and excellent playing as always. You could plug into anything and it would sound killer, best to you in this new year!
Thanks so much!
When the Tyler lead came in it was like Luke Skywalker’s guns blazing as he blows up the Death Star and outruns the final explosion! So dramatic!
Haha!! Thanks so much!
Thanks babe.

Sounds like an awesome amp
Amazing as always, Shawn!!
May I suggest stereo fx loop so could plug in stereo pedals/units.
Shawn your tone is great. Live all the lessons to be learned with your demos. Strings? 10 gauge or do u go to 9’s or 11’s ?
Thanks so much! For the most part I use 10-46.

Sounds great but I couldn't deal with that many knobs on my amp. Mine has 5 and some days I just wish they were permanently set and all I could adjust was the volume.
The amp has 4 channels with their own set of volume, EQ, and gain controls.
I've got single channel amps as well but when I truly want " tube channel overdrive" I'm willing to deal with a few more controls.
Really great playing on this one Shawn. I preferred the built in IR tones better. I think it must be the V30 I hear that just turns me off on some of your demos..
Thanks for watching Curt. The IR tones are WGS speakers. Vet 30 and ET90.

@@ShawnTubbs THANK YOU SHAWN! Now the question is to sell many pieces of gear and try for this, or be smart and get a G20.

Im really interested in this amp. How well does it take a germanium fuzz pedal though?
Thanks
In general, a germanium fuzz works quite well with Revv amps.
Wooh does the logo change colors?
Yes, the REVV badge changes colors with the four channels. Blue, Green, Purple, and Red.
Subbed. Nuff said. Also I want this amp! Haha.
You're very kind. Thanks so much.
How’s that Tyler compared to your suhr and if you only could buy one revv what would it be?
They're both excellent guitars and both are different. Which one would I choose? That's an impossible question to answer.
@@ShawnTubbs I'll answer it for you : the Suhr. 😊

Does it sound big in 10 watt mode?
It does, but honestly the master volume circuit is so good sounding IMHO that you don't really need the 10 watt mode to play at lower volumes.
