REVV G4 V2 Red Channel Distortion Pedal
Vintage? Modern? Both! The Revv G4 is based on the "Red" high gain channel from the flagship Generator 120 MK3 amplifier. While it has endless liquid sustain on tap for fat leads or massive wall-of-sound rhythm guitars, it can also be dialed back for classic gain sounds.
"I think the G4 is one of the best high-gain pedals I've tried — it feels and responds like a real amp while staying tight and modern."
— Sam Jacobs
The Revv G4 is an organic & responsive high gain distortion pedal designed for player that like a thick low end & endlessly sustaining solos. It's well-suited to a wide variety of applications & genres with a unique smooth saturation & chewy character you can really dig into with your picking hand. This brand-new V2 circuit revision adjusted the mids for additional clarity even when you've scooped your tone, as well as adding additional versatility in the lower gain ranges for a smooth transition from low to medium gain settings especially when using your guitar's volume knob.
The Red Channel
Revv's G-Series pedals are all-analog 'amps-in-a-box' based on the channels of our flagship Generator 120 MK3 amplifier. The G4 is the Red fat high gain channel. The foil to the Purple channel, if the G3 is a scalpel – the G4 is a sledgehammer. Plenty of gain on tap & tons of thick low end make the G4 well suited to more scooped rhythm tones, round & smooth solos, & chewy crunch tones.
Three Voices
The G4 utilizes the 3 Aggression voices from our Generator tube amplifiers. In Red mode you'll get the most distortion & the easiest feel under the fingers: a go-to for many lead guitarists. Blue is great for thick wall-of-sound rhythm tones. Due to its bass response & smooth voicing, with the switch off G4 actually excels as a low/medium gain "cranked amp" oldschool overdrive.
The Technical Details
The G4 has a lot of gain on tap, so don't be afraid to set the Gain knob quite low if it's working for you. You can run the Bass high if you're going to boost G4 with an overdrive, but we otherwise find the sweet spot to be 9:00-12:00 for most players using humbuckers. It's a simple & toneful all-analog pedal that runs on traditional isolated 9 volt center negative power supplies.
Authentic Tone
Our amp-voiced overdrive pedals have been a fan-favorite since the release of the original G3 in 2018. We take great care to not just make pedals that sound like our amps, but pedals that feel like our amps too. Tuned to work with a wide variety of amps & even modeling setups, Revv's G-Series pedals are the best way to add boutique amp tone to any rig.
