FO SHO! The G3 is CRUSHING!

@Robert-Peterson

3 жыл бұрын

@Revv Amps Hello...fellow Winnipegger here. Does the REVV G3 have a "preference" for which amp it likes to work with? I have your REVV G3 pedal going into a Marshall DSL20HR, connected to a 2x12 cab loaded with Celestion 70/80 speakers and it doesn't sound that great. Next week I'm getting a Peavey 6505 going into two 1x12 cabs, each loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers. In short: does the REVV G3 work better with a "British Metal" type amp or an "American Metal" type amp? Honestly...the REVV G3 is a work of art and I'm so effin happy that a company from my home town is making great amps and pedals that are world-class, but I'm having a really hard time "loving" my G3, even though I really want to. Any advice would be most welcome. Cheers.

@@Robert-Peterson Hey dude! Thanks for the kind words! It doesn't specifically prefer any amp sound but it generally works best into a totally clean or slightly breaking up amp (i.e. not into a distortion channel) and it is a bright and tight pedal so with both the Marshall and Peavey I would say to be careful with the high end! I love bright tones personally and if I am running an amp bright I'll sometimes run treble on the G3 as low as 10:00.

G3 all day... gotta love the BE tho

9:35 VH4 tone. Mids, tight, very nice

REVV and the Friedman had the tones off the bat. The Diezel has them too but looks like you really have to dial alot. The Suhr is in last place for me sounding like a hotter OCD trying to sound like a saggy soggy old amp. REVV G3 is what I'll be getting, the G4 is also great

I have the Friedman set it and forget it...love it. Thinking of getting the REVV G2 my Purple Plexi just isn’t quite versatile enough, still a great pedal though.

Got home from a less than great day at work... but then this video popped up and my day just instantly improved! Great comparo dude! That Diezel does sound like a VH4... I own the Friedman and was wondering how it compared with some others on the market, thanks!

The LPD still have the balz the others do but there is do much detail in their sound they make the others sound muddy in comparison! Check them out for yourself!

I have the BE-OD just cause I'm a huge AIC fan, but I don't think you could go wrong with any of these. A lot of bite and punch in the Revv G3, sick mids and gain/grit on the Riot, and the Diezel might be the most versatile where you can really dial it in the way you want.

The Diezel sounded way better than all of us pedals

The Friedman seems to have the widest frequency range, the Diezel seems to maybe need an overdrive in front to be less muddy on the chugs

To me, the Deizel sounds the most amp-like, a lot of depth and very open sounding, but retains the super heavy sounds like the original amp. The Friedman is the classic SIR Studio's mythical amp number 36(or 39?) that everybody used for recording in the 80's. The Suhr RIOT sounds ok, and was great for it's time but comparatively sounds outmatched here, almost a one trick pony but it does a pretty cool trick. The Revv has an interesting gain structure, but sounds too dark and compressed, almost nasally compared to the rest at least to my ears.

Great shoot out. Each pedal definitely had it's own characteristics and each shined or disappointed in each category. For instance the Suhr didn't have the growling aggression of the others, but it had a great lead tone. I thought the Revv was just the opposite. The Diezel did what Diezel does and it's a character unto itself. Some swear by it and others don't care for it. The Friedman is likewise as it is what it is. I personally can't stand Friedman amps or pedals. Others swear they're the greatest. To me overall, I would say in order of best to worst all categories combined, it would be 1. Diezel, 2a Suhr, 2b Revv, 4. Friedman. Since tone is subjective and also depends on the media this is played through, I'm sure many may disagree. And that's just fine. Whatever inspires the individual is the best for them.

Have the Diezel the one with one footswitch, the Suhr riot both versions the be and be deluxe. Sold the rev purple and red. I’m the pedal addict I had said above so I have spent way too much $$$. In pedal recovery right now.

I have the Bogner Extasy Red... and know I go for the Friedman deluxe...pedal...

Cool Demo as always !!!! i have the Standard Riot ( one of the first in Italy ) and also the BEOD. In my opinion the friedman is way better and way more teawkable... i can get superior sounds with all amps, at home i put it in a '78 Fender Princeton and i can play dream theater if i want. Other pedals don't sound so good in every situation, the Riot for example has an annoying top end with fender amps ( deluxes, super, twins etc..), with the beod you just turn off the presence and you're ok. Another very nice one that i have is ETHOS TWE1. give it a try!! ciaooo

REVV G3 totally kicks ass!!!

Riot has that brown sound and its really good for live situations.

The Friedman had the most clarity for me.....almost a 3D type depth

riot for me.

be-od + ge7 = all the toanz

I've been interested in the VH4 pedal for a while. It's just a bit expensive. Do you think it would be a cool pedal into my 1993 AC30TB/6? I have a whiteface rat as my main distortion right now, and I really like it as a grindy overdrive, but I would like something more over the top for rhythm chords. The deep and presence controls were interesting to me since I often find that distortions can have too much bass going into the Vox.

REVV G 3 All the way!!! Friedman would be 2nd choice for sure.

The Friedman FTW. Hands down. Across the board.

These are all great pedals, but the only one I own is the BE-OD. It sounds amazingly amp-like and you can dial back the gain with an internal trim-pot if necessary.

@theblindsniper

3 жыл бұрын

Use 18V instead of 9V and you've got tons of headroom that's very amp-like. If I didn't own that, I'd probably consider the Revv pedal. Sounds great!

Friedman's brighter and personally I think it covers more frecuencies than the other 3

I think the Suhr is out of its element in the high gain category compared to these other pedal. What I like about the Suhr besides it’s great tone is that it isn’t as harsh in the high end as other distortion pedals. If it had a 3 band eq I think it would blow all these pedals away.

@BigHairyGuitars

There is the Suhr Eclipse (which I haven't tried yet). It's probably more in line with the others for high-gain. It has a 3 band.

What amp or set up are you going into? BE-OD pretty killer pedal! They're all great sounding... REVVV has some versatility it seemed.. great sounds in there! The Diezel... enough knobs on that thing?!? Ok... two channels and sounds great! But... for a simple 3 knob pedal, you got to give it to Suhr for a great sound... that lead was so clear, yet warm and crunchy with some punch! My favorite of the four! Thanks... great demo! Was thinking about doing a similar thing with some "metal pedals" in my arsenal! 😎🎸🤘🐦

Have all these except the Riot. In a stereo rig, the Vh4 by far the most massive sounding. BE-OD very close but warmer. G3 just sounds like a tiny practice amp no matter where I set it. Interesting that they all sound very similar to my vintage Turbo Rat. The vh4 is the only one that will clean up if you turn down your volume knob which I’m finding a big bonus in dirt pedals.
