Tap Into the Revv Sound with Any Rig

You’re well on your way towards epic modern metal guitar tone with the Revv G3 distortion pedal. And with its three selectable “aggression” modes, which tailor how much gain you’re working with, you’ll be able to dial in a sound for any occassion. The Revv G3 sounds incredibly chunky, with plenty of girth and presence depending on how you set the EQ knobs. Single notes pack a formidable punch, while chords sound well defined. Best of all, this versatile pedal sounds good anywhere in your rig — in front of an amplifier, or in its effects loop, or before a modeling processor, or even direct into a cabinet modeler. In other words, the Revv G3 distortion pedal is your one-stop solution for epic rock tone in any context.

Feels responsive, sounds tight

Revv went above and beyond to put the sound and feel of their amplifiers into the G3 distortion pedal. Guitarists at Sweetwater quickly noticed that the G3 stays tight and focused at any volume level and EQ settings. That’s because smart filtering is employed to remove muddy and icy frequencies, without altering your core tone. And special attention during the design stage was spent on the attack and bloom of notes, leading to an addictively amp-like playing feel.

Revv G3 Preamp/Overdrive/Distortion Pedal Features:

  • Distortion pedal based on Revv amplifiers’ purple channel
  • 3 selectable “aggression” settings tailor the amount of gain
  • Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ controls allow you to optimize the sound for any type of pickups
  • Sounds great whether you use it in front of an amp, in its effects loop, with a modeler, or direct into a cab simulator
  • Excels at modern metal tones, versatile enough to cover many other styles as well

Modern Metal Distortion/OD/Preamp

Metal, Metal, and more Metal. The 3 band eq is great and actually responsive. Lots of usable gain and the aggression switch kicks it up a notch.

Needs a noise gate, definitely. Highly recommend. Sold my other distortion pedals, because this sounds great and is ultra usable for different types of metal.
Rated 5/5

Insane!

When I learned about the D20, I knew I had to get one. It was the product I was wanting but hadn't found. Excellent quality, sound and features. I then went further and got a G2 and G3 to go along with it. Pure bliss! Thanks Revv for these great products!

REVV G3

I give only 4 stars due to the fact that I have not had much time to use it. However, what little time I have had, once I tinkered with the dials a bit, then that wow moment hit me, I mean, it was like I truly knew what I was doing! lol. I. I'll be having 8 full days of practice starting tomorrow and I'm gunna blow the doors off my neighbors apartment!

Absolutely banger.

Yeah, so this is a distortion I wish I had growing up. It has a lot of different controls to get the tons and amount of distortion you want. Great for metal too! I definitely recommend!!
