OVERDRIVE-REVV G2 Crunchy Drive ...the set is completed!!!

$230.00 USD

 REVV G3 CRUNCHY DRIVE 
Just announced this week. "The set is completed". The Revv G2 !
__With the and super fat  G3  & the tight and raw sustain forever G4  high gain preamps the only thing missing was a lower gain pedal to complete the set. Of course lower gain means a nasty but nice Marshall JCM 800 gone mad!
All three pedals have the same layout. Only the colour changes as Revv uses these colours to label the preamps from their tube amps
to identify them.
It will not be available until the SUMMER NAMM  show next month. The site is taking preorders now.
Revv have really moved into pedal-land at an unprecedented speed
so it becomes a love-hate atmosphere with the reviewers & players!











CONCLUSION
This is the least impressive of them all.

Low gain pedals are very lame in general.
The best are still the beefed up Tube Screamer Wanna-bees that only sound good pushed which defeats their purpose. 
The best low gain pedal isn't. Yes it isn't low gain!

The best low gain pedal is the Thermion Heartbreaker which is meant to be a Marshall amp-in a box. One of the first too as it came out in 2014. Check out the POST.

The Heart Breaker has both a preamp style gain (as do ALL OD's) but it has an Amp gain as well. If you turn the pre down and the amp up you get that Hendrix Marshall Super Lead 100 clean sound. Most notable on 'The Wind Cries Mary' tune on his first LP.

Is it perfect? No!!! But in my book it is killer compared to every Tube Screamer wanna-bee ever made ...yes and the Timmy which is just a Tube Screamer but it uses the Boss DS-1 chip instead. If a Pedal maker can not get it right with using FET's it's game over for any low gain sound!!!
Don't get me wrong I have a couple of Tube Screamer wanna-bees.  The Providence Red Rock OD was literally designed to make a vintage Strat sound great. It is ideal for tunes with a  lot of full sounding chords that I want every note to be tight as they are things that started life on my Martin. 
Another  the MPcustomFX Gainiac is an oxymoron ...it is a high gain ts. It lets my Tele PU and my Ric PU come through the gain intact. I get both sounds from one guitar that then supply's me with the two sounds Pete Townsend used on the mid 60's Who records.

 The Revv 2 is still a really nice medium gain Marshall type pedal. It also stacks really well!
