Great demo sir. I've had the Generator 7-40 Mk II for about 2 months now. It's an amazing amplifier; definitely one of the best I've ever gotten to play. I'm using it in 4 cable method with a Line 6 Helix and a MESA Boogie 2x12 Recto Cab. I use snapshots on my Helix to switch the amp channels via MIDI.
great demo, Shawn ...I considered a Revv to replace my '71 Marshall, but I find the longer I play, the less distortion I use-- .. so.. we have come full circle back to the 1987
I was fearing so. Dang. It seems I love those pickups. Thanks for taking the time to reply! Hope to see you live some time in Austin, TX. Best wishes. You're an amazing musician.
Cheers from Holland! As I said before you're a talent (also musically ;-) in demoing amps and pedals. I hear so many bad recorded demo's of expensive gear. Yours always sound like I'm sitting in the recording room listening. You squeeze the best tones out of amps and pedals. I hope more gearheads join your fanclub. Now to the amp: I think Revv produces clever flexible amps with a lot of pristine and in this case classic sounds. I think it's a hard choice between the Generator and the Dynamis (and yeah I like 6V6 tubes). The latter one has less gain but sounds a bit smoother and has some interesting bells and whistles like the option to store presets. I'm definitely eyeballing on a Revv. But, I'm also like some Victory-models like the V30 and V50. Any chance you will be demoing those British amps?
Sounds great as usual, Shawn! I assume that your talent and ability don't come with the amp? Real question: What cabinet (real or virtual) are you playing through?
Great verisatatitly, would love that in the studio! Unless you skipped live applications, I see a need for multiple REVV amps live. Great sounding amp otherwise...
Hi Shawn, I thoroughly enjoy your playing & demos of the Revv lineup. I just purchased a 7/40 from you guys not too very long ago. I had to send it back for some biasing issue which was resolved however. It still seems to be not quite right. For example, one thing I´ve noted from watching this video is that when I flip the power switch on mine from 40 to 7 watts, the volume does´nt decease NEARLY as much, and that´s something that I truly needed for home use. And with where you have the volume set (11:00 or so) you can hear it´s a dramatic difference. At home, I rarely run my volume beyond 8 o clock so, at 7 watts it should be relatively quiet and quite usable however, as I said, my 7 watt setting is only slightly less loud then the 40 watt setting. Any advise/recommendations? Thank you sir!
Hey there, thanks for watching my videos and for the kind words! When it comes to volumes levels, a 7-watt tube amp can still be pretty loud for home use. Even a 5-watt tube amp can be a bit too loud. You may need to consider the idea of using an attenuator or possibly look into an IR load box like the TN Captor X. In that case you can leave the amp wide open and use headphones.
It's very subjective. I prefer a closed back 2x12 or 4x12 with this type of amp. Celestion V-30's or Creambacks would sound great. If you use IR's the REVV 4x12 IR is a good match.
