The D20 is the world’s first Two notes Torpedo-Embedded amplifier. This all-tube head has an optional reactive load for organic feel & tone when playing without a cab & hosts virtual cabinets onboard for direct recording, silent playing, & live performance without a microphone.

We set out to build an amp that not only has this new modern featureset but sounds incredible on its own as a standalone amplifier. The result is something convenient & great sounding at the lowest price point Revv has ever had.

Revv G20 20/4-Watt Tube Amp Head Amps / Guitar Heads

Revv G20 20/4-Watt Tube Amp Head

$1,199.00

From Revv Amplification:

The G20 was the next logical step. D20 was received so well & immediately people were dropping it into their studios, live rigs, modeling rigs – the tube tone & Torpedo-Embedded together can give you great tone in any situation, including some we didn’t even think of ourselves! The D20 worked so great for pedal users so also putting our signature gain sound into that form factor just made sense. It sounds & feels great! It was important to me that we get our high gain Purple Channel tone right, but I also added some quality of life features like recalling different channels & voices with MIDI, as well as ensuring each Aggression Mode sounds very different so you have a lot of distinct tones available to you. The goal was to make something self contained for guitarists that don’t use a lot of pedals – I’m sure we’ll be surprised again by what people do with this amp!

Prefer something more portable? Developed in collaboration with Nashville’s top studio musicians, Revv’s “lunchbox amplifiers” like the D20 and G20 (footswitch sold separately) let players toggle from 20 watts down to just four without losing valuable crunch. The world’s first “Two notes Torpedo-Embedded” amplifiers, these compact amps feature an optional reactive load and virtual cabinets for real-feel playing anywhere, anytime.

For more crunch, plug into Revv effects like the G2, a touch-sensitive crunch creator. Or the G3, an “Amp in a box” with natural bloom and Revv’s classic clarity, punch, and precision. Lay on thick, saturated distortion with the G4, or soak in the silence with the ultra-transparent G8.

Revv G4 Preamp/Overdrive/Distortion Pedal Red Effects and Pedals / Overdrive and Boost

Revv G4 Preamp/Overdrive/Distortion Pedal Red

$229.00

From Revv:

The plan from the start with G-Series pedals was to recreate the tone of our amplifiers. The Revv G2 was the final piece of that puzzle… but it turned into so much more! My goal was to make our most realistic & inspiring pedal to date. That actually came pretty quickly – a great representation of our touch-sensitive crunchy green channel! However, I sent it to one of our Nashville artists. He had great feedback totally unrelated to our green channel. Rather, how to simply make the best pedal possible for this application with maximum versatility as an “amp in a box.” Then one of our employees said it would be cool if the G2 could be used as a boost as well… With these new goals in mind, the G2 quickly became an entirely new animal. Very transparent at low settings – capable of livening up your clean tone, tightening a high gain sound, or boosting your tone into a creamy lead. Then, our sweet & dynamic green channel with powerful EQ to pair to your amp. Finally, a full but still very chimey distortion tone. This was our most important design yet. The Revv G2 not only completes our vision for a modular rig solution, but has pushed us into new sonic territory we’re already seeing in new genres of music worldwide.

Revv G2 overdrive pedal with voicing based on Revv Amplification’s “Green Channel” from Generator amplifiers
Clear, dynamic, amp-like tone
Used by premier session guitarists worldwide

Revv G8 Noise Gate Pedal Black Sparkle Effects and Pedals / Controllers, Volume and Expression

Revv G8 Noise Gate Pedal Black Sparkle

$199.00

From Revv:

The Revv G8 Noise Gate is the new, simple, zero-compromise, solution to taking control of your rig. Noise comes from so many places – the room you’re in, your guitar, your amp, pedals, other pieces of gear in the signal chain. Dealing with that gets in the way of music live & in the studio. None of us like the noise, but we usually just deal with it because the solutions aren’t ideal. That’s why we had to build a flexible noise gate to keep your entire rig quiet with zero downside. G8’s controls will let you dial in that sliced & diced metal rhythm tone when you need it – but most importantly it is designed to maintain the sonic integrity of your guitar tone. You will feel the same & sound the same – all you’ll be wondering is where the noise went. Hear the silence!

Totally transparent feel – like plugging straight into the amp – but without the noise!
Flexible controls provide super-gated staccato chug tones when you need them.
4 jacks allow super simple 2-cable setups or sonically precise 4-cable setups.
Eliminate problematic noise from your guitar, amp, pedals, or ambient environment.
Thresh knob dials the exact level of noise reduction you require.
Release knob ensures your endless sustain is uninterrupted.
Hold knob fine-tunes feel, ensuring G8 doesn’t close when you want it to remain open.
True bypass, bright LED for on/off confirmation, black metallic graphic enclosure.
Simple 9-12v center negative external power supply operation, 50mA minimum.
Manufactured in Canada to rugged quality standards
