    I just recently got the G3. I'm 43 years old and have been playing pedals since the Boss Metal Zone days back in high school. The G3 is honestly the best distortion pedal I've ever played, EVER. I want all 3 of these now.

    I used to lug around a Mesa Stilleto II head with Mesa 4x12 as my live rig. I have since down sized to a 2X12 (vintage 30s) with a Revv G3 going into an Orange TerrorStamp. Clean tight high gain tone that is plenty loud for stage at a quarter of the weight and space. Great pedal and glad it is made by a Canadian company.
    Looking forward to trying out a G20 and a Generator.

      @@ninjamonkey1 Hi, i haven't use the G4 that much for my metal tone (my Peavey 6505+ is back from repair so...) but what i can say about it (i've try some others distortion pedals on the Hotrod) it's one of the most "natural" sound for this kind of pedal. Not sure for Djent stuff it is the best (the G4) but i guess Fender Combo + Disto Pedal is not the best choice for that kind. Anyway i think it's way better than a Boss for exemple, the G4 have less compression for me, more clarity. G4 on Fender Crunch canal was great (more boost) but you wil need to push a bit your amp for the sweet spot.
      What pickups do you use ?
      Any other idear on pedal ?

    I have a positive grid bias head and I’m thinking of getting either the purple or red one and boosting it with a tube screamer through the effects return and hopefully using the tube screamer as a clean sound when I turn the distortion pedal off.

  • @angusorvid8840
    @angusorvid8840 4 роки тому +8

    Great demo. I'm leaning towards the G4. It has a terrific tube bite. I'm a big fan of using Fenders as pedal platforms, something I've been doing since the 80s when I realized I prefered Fenders to Marshalls. I owned Marshalls, Boogies, Peaveys, many other amps back then, but I loved the tones and versatility I could get by boosting a Fender, like a Deluxe Reverb. I was sort of an odd duck in the shred scene of the 80s because few players back then, especially in that scene, were using Fenders as often as I did. I didn't want to lug a Marshall stack, or my extremely expensive Boogie combo, and in that scene there was little interest in Fenders. I would either use one of my own Fenders or borrow one from a friend for a gig. One of the most common compliments I'd get was for how clear and thick and cut through my tone was all at once. My main pedals back then were a Rat and MXR Distortion Plus. I'd take both along with a chorus, flange, delay and Phase 90 in my gig bag.

    I use a Mesa Boogie 45 watt Nomad 1x12 combo...the last few years I've started using drive pedals into the clean channel(set very clean).....and after seeing your video on trying a little "dirt" or gain to the clean sound, that really sounded sooooo much better! And after your demos on the Revv pedals, I went out and got the G4.....what a GREAT overdrive/distortion pedal!!! This set-up really gives me even more tones that just using the clean and two gain channels in the amp! And if I'm using one of the lead channels as a core tone, the G4 makes a great solo boost for massive sustain! You got me sold on Revv products!!!! Now I wanna buy one of their amps!!!!! Oh crap.....my wife just read that........

    I've been eyeballing that G3 for some time now for my setup. I run a stereo setup so it's a little different. My pedal board is small, I have a Earthquaker Swissthings pedal to organize my board for specific features it has , absolutely amazing pedal. First in line is a Wah , to a Ibanez Nu-tube screamer and a mxr Wylde overdrive (for some gain stacking). Next is a mxr stereo chorus and these hit the front of both amps. The A side amp is a Carvin X50B with 4x12 cab and B side is a Marshall jcm800 4010 combo. I have an old ART sge effects processor in the effects loop on the Carvin.
    So you can see I have overdrives and booster, I need to fill that distortion gap and the G3 is the one I keep coming back to , it just seems to fit what I want, can't seem to real see anything else working. I use to , many years ago, I had a Boss HM2 that I seriously regret selling now lol. Always fun playing with this stuff during these crappy Winnipeg winters lol.

    I'm running the G2 into my Fender Bassbreaker 15 set very clean and it sounds excellent. But, I have been thinking about switching out the Bassbreaker for a DR (I think I prefer the Silverface 65 version) for a clear and crisp clean platform. I take another out into a Strymon Iridium set to the Deluxe Reverb with York Audio DR IR cab (AMAZING!) and that feed goes DI to mixer / FOH / IEMS if I am using them... Best of both worlds! Real amp behind me and killer DI tones to front of house. The G2 is my mainstay rock pedal - by itself for rock rhythm and stacked with a Timmy for leads.

  • @CentaurusRelax314

    I'm three years late, but just bought that very amp and have been trying to figure out how to get good distortion tones out of it. I think i'm leaning toward the G3. The G2 looks like it is maxed-out on gain to get what the G3 is doing at noon, and i am looking at these pedals because i'm not getting enough gain from the Friedman Smallbox which is my first attempt at this. I probably wouldn't go as far as the G4, but i dunno-at this point, i may just be choosing because of the colors....
    Oh, snap. Just found your other Revv pedal videos, and i see there's a *gold* G2.... Well now.

      Yeah, i found it odd. The other guitarist in our band has a 3 and a 4, and they sound miles apart. We just liked certain tones out of them on very different settings. Compared to my 120 though, i find the 3 to be closest to the actual amp, 4 less so.

    • @jakollee
      @jakollee 4 роки тому +1

      The gain knob on the G2 is set at 3 o'clock, whereas the gain knob on the G4 is at like 9 o'clock; that might be part of why they sound so similar. The G3 and G4 have a lot more gain on tap, but the sound of the gain itself is somewhat similar. But I've seen comparison demos where the G3 and G4 sound very different.

    I have all of these pedals and been messing with them into a PRS Dallas head into a 1 x 12 compact with V30 in it. Admittedly I have been using effects ( delay chorus ) after them. The G2 works great but I have to set the drive at max. The Red is a little finicky ( this gave me a good guide how to use it properly) the blue is really noisy outside of the aggression switch , even when using my Strats with Joe Barden PUs, I will definitely experiment more now thanks to this vid, thanks Shawn, you wallet buster LOL.

    Shawn, would the Revv G3 be a good replacement pedal for an OCD pedal. My front-in pedal string path is a J. Rocket Archer, then a J. Rocket Majestic, then the OCD. I’m playing them through Fender Blues Deluxe amp modified with an Eminence Red, White & Blues speaker. I love this setup but the OCD has very limited tone controls & gain options. So what are your suggestions about the G3 replacing the OCD. (BTW, I play mainly classic rock songs.)

    He's a great player, but shies away from showing all the features of the pedals. I just watched him do this to the Friedman Small Box, didn't show the higher side of gain so WE know what it does. He has all the pedals set to get identical tones. I won't thumb down. But I want to. And I won't watch his stuff ever again, as I don't care for his one sided reviews. He can play [so can I], but he can't help a company sell the unit by being limited. Plus, he's tweaking his guitar controls, and we can't see what changes he's making. Bogus! That affects the tones, and that's what this is all about.

We made this one because we got asked a lot about using them with a Fender combo in this musical context. It's not a "demo" of all features or meant to be comprehensive. You'd probably like the videos on Shawn's own channel for these pedals.

But yes, I already knew how awesome the G3 and G4 are, due to Ola, Pete, and Rabea's vids that explore every corner of those pedals. They both sound so fantastic. You guys did it. You built the best pedals I ever ever heard. Years back when everyone raved about the new OCD, I just ran out and got a version one. And I didn't like it, or really anything since. Some have come close to being awesome but still had an "eh" factor. Yours, a killer with a capital F. As for my amps I get the tones from the amps, but I have a Fender HRD just for the clean so I can run my pedals. I'm deciding between the G3 and G4 - likely the 3 because it covers more ground for my needs. If I need to go more metal, I'll get the 4. I'll be selling that OCD to buy the 3.
