    Revv have done it again, G4 is a high gain distortion pedal which will melt faces and sounds like the cracked rock channel your amp is missing.

    I've got a buddy that uses the G3 on a low gain setting out front and runs the G4 in the FX loop, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but it sounds absolutely insane.

      Thanks, these things get better with practice. Always trying to improve the sound captured.
      I've just never been happy with using IRs for this stuff, it's a great convenience to record silently and in a mix you wouldn't know the difference, but I just prefer to put a mic against a speaker myself.

  • @erodi6956
    @erodi6956 5 років тому +5

    They both sound so good. The Laid to Rest shootout spoke volumes about both pedals, but it really is hard to choose between the two. The g4 sounds like it might be better in a mix than the g3, but I'm sure that if you threw an eq behind the g3 you might be able to boost that high end enough to give it the kick it needs. The g3 tone you had was a very solid rhythm tone though!

      @@MetalMarauder yeah, there's a lot wrong with the way he plays this riff. But I think the reason it reminds him of Doom is the two chugs in the beginning. With no extra context, those sound like they are on one, where the the high E is actually on one in painkiller. The doom theme song however, starts with two low chugs.

It seems you favour Bon Jovi 80's metal types and possibly the G4 gets there? Any feedback would be really appreciated, thank you.

      The G3 sounds a slightly more modern (but slightly more tamed). It is also WAY more mid present. If you are looking for the classic "old" tones, I'd go for the G3. The G4 sounds akin to something I'd hear on a record today. It almost sounds like it could be an amp sim. So if you want the high end, modern, aggressive distortion, get the G4.
