Fat, Saturated Amp-in-a-box Distortion

Whether you’re playing your guitar through a combo, an amp head, or direct with a modeler, you can tap into thick, saturated, amp-like distortion with the Revv G4. Fans of the Revv G3, take note — the Revv G4 isn’t an updated G3, it’s the polar opposite. It’s got the fat, full sound of a raging amp stack, and it pairs well with a variety of mid-forward boosts, overdrives, and distortions. In the words of Revv, “if the G3 is a scalpel, the G4 is a sledgehammer.” For the gargantuan tone of the Revv amp’s Red channel in a pedal format, get the Revv G4 distortion pedal.

Fine-tune your tone with three voicing options

Guitarists at Sweetwater appreciate the extra sonic flexibility the Revv G4 offers with its 3-way voicing switch. In the off position, it packs the same sonic character as a Revv amp’s Red channel. Flip this switch to the Blue setting to tame certain frequencies and to achieve a tighter, more focused sound. Or go the other direction with the Red mode, which fully maximizes thickness and saturation.

Revv G4 Preamp/Overdrive/Distortion Pedal Features:

  • Distortion pedal based on Revv amplifiers’ Red channel
  • 3 selectable Aggression settings tailor the amount of gain and frequency emphasis
  • Bass, Middle, and Treble EQ controls allow you to optimize the sound for any type of pickups and playback system
  • 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

Awesome!

Turn your small amp into a metal machine! I recommend using a noise gate with this pedal!
Rated 5/5

So Good you cant describe it!

Ok, so immediately after opening the box you can feel the good quality, it feels strong and robust, the knobs feel super good to the tact, but its when you plug it into your amp where you know youve made the best purchase of your life. The knobs are really sensitive and responsive, the threeway switch allows you to play anything from blues to Modern Metal and all in between, even Djent tones sound killer with this. dont wait and just get one asap.

Great pedal! Lots of gain and a ton of tonal possibilities. If you like heavy metal then get this pedal.

REVV G4

This pedal rocks! Literally, the best distortion pedal I have ever used. The equalizer and 3 way selector make this metal pedal very versatile. Buy it, you won't regret it. Thanks Tyler Moore

Tons of fun

I've been playing around with this pedal for about a year and am absolutely loving it. I'm using it in front of a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 200 with a TS9 and a Mud killer in front of the g4 and it's surprisingly good. Feels and sounds like my old 6505 to my ears and it all fits on a pedalboard. Solid state will never replicate the thump and presence of a tube amp but this pedal does pretty damn good. Sounds really natural and musical. It's a perfect set up for me. I'm a caveman when it comes to tech anything so using this pedal in front of a power amp is a super easy way to play around with a more "modeling" type rig without getting lost in presets and menus. Just dial it in like you would the dirty channel on an amp. Thanks to Sweetwater for their superb customer service as usual
