Does Buffalo Wild Wings have a channel?

My uncle played from 1959 until he dies in 2011 with 3 basses and 1 or 2 amps. The basses were a 59 Kay upright, a 62 Fender jazz bass and a 70’s model Peavey Patriot. For amps he had a 65 Bassman, and another Fender that I can’t remember the name of. That’s all he played for 52 years. He never fiddled with them. Never changed pickups or anything never modded his amps. He said if you couldn’t get what you wanted out of them then you couldn’t get it and he was right. He played surf music to funk to jazz to rock and even hard rock. He was an amazing bass player and he did it with least gear or probably anyone I’ve ever known.

The Mustang has 30 presets, and the app adds 30 more which can be modded and saved. So far I'm having a blast; wish I'd started this years ago!

Then I decided to get serious about the guitar. It's amazing how much you can learn just off the internet. I dropped out of music theory in college, couldn't make sense of it when getting lectures out of a book... but watching some of these tutorials with a guitar actually in my hand, things just started clicking... Now instead of going months without playing, I might play for hours a day... It seems like the key is going outside that comfort zone as much as possible and not worrying about messing up

Potentially something like 10s guitars since I've seen a few nice looking things decently priced by them. Few used options local too. Was also thinking maybe get something cheap since work keeps me busy and I have issues with my hands in case I don't get super into it again. But kinda thinking that won't happen. And trying to build a studio anyways so it'd be useful. 350 dollar epiphone sg Gothic few used amps though most are meh choices or waaaay to loud for bedroom levels.

Purchased the D20 about a year ago. It's a game changer to have mix ready tracks from the start. I recorded most of my debut album (due out this summer) with it in my home studio. Great modern day amp ! Awesome pedal platform. Great job with the video, keep them coming.

I watched you for a while now Keith. Your videos are getting better and better but keep the same 5WW feel. It’s such a blend of relaxed and informative that you have down to an art. The fact you are speaking out about a new product weighs very heavy, you, yourself said it’s not something much you do. I’m gonna put a serious look into the G-20. Thanks brother. Much love from Tulsa.

I watch Five Watt World whenever I can. I have a Fender champ because I needed something small for practice (and the neighbors). The first video I saw was the one about the Champ and it made appreciate the amp even more. I had a small line 6 and would get headaches trying to remember settings and then one day it quit working. But my Fender Champ never quit. And it is simple. I like the Revv because it seems like it has a lot of good features but won’t hurt my brain settling it up and using it. Another great video - thank you Keith.

I have another suggestion for D20 owners(would think it would be great for G20 as well) I have the Boss EQ-200 eq pedal. One of the coolest features of the Eq-200 is using the 4 cable method, you can use 2 separate eqs. One in front of the preamp, and one in front of the power amp. This imo opens the amp to an amazing array of amp tones.

Awesome video! I'm interested in the Revv stuff so it's cool to see a take on it that isn't balls to the wall metal. You need to get a hold of, and make a video about, the ultimate clean amp pedal platform that you can use at home and live... the Vox MV50 Clean. I bought one a couple years ago and love it. It's tiny, goes up to 50 watts, and has this fancy NuTube that's "identical" to a vacuum tube. I really like the feel, dynamics, and harmonics of the amp that's tough to hear in solid-state-only clean amps. They also have rock, a/c, and high gain versions of the amp but I haven't tried them.

Great video and great guitar playing. Fantastic tone

Awesome video---Ive heard of these amps but never in that level of detail they sound great and are very well thought out on their design, great job as always. While I love the idea for a "series" I shudder at the thought of ever having just one amp, its like eating one potato chip, lol.

Thanks for that vid Keith, great info and perspective. I've been using a Boss Katana head for playing at home, mostly through my interface and monitors, and while it's great the siren song of a tube amp calls. The Revv's have had my attention and I'm twitching even harder now.

Nothing like that kind of compact amp when I was starting out! They were all big cabinets and heavy heads. It was a two man job to bring the stuff into the gig. And smaller practice amps could never cut it anywhere except your living room. We never had a PA system that could make a guitar sound good, they were vocals only. You would laugh your head off at the amount of heavy stuff we had to lug around in the 1970s just to play a bar gig. This Revv system you show blows it away. Thank you for posting.

Great Vid! Love you Channel and Content!! I’ve been a working musician for 56yrs now and have FINALLY found my go to amps. I’ve played a lot of Tube amps in my day and loved them all but because I’m now 67 with the usual Old Musician complaints and some other health conditions I’m now using the New Fender Tone Master Amps. I use the TM Twin for larger Gigs and the TM Deluxe for smaller Shows. At 33 and 23lbs they fit the bill as far as weight and it’s VERY hard to tell the difference between their Tub counterparts in my opinion. The sound the the real deal after being retubed. Add a couple good pedals and I’m home free!! Although every once in a while I do break out my old trusty Tweed Blues Jr. for a spin.....LOL! Please keep up the Good Work I look forward to your Vids!

As someone from Winnipeg who now lives in Germany, I was blown away by REVV and was even more blown away by the fact that a company making awesome amps came from the small city I grew up in. Well...technically the company is from a small town just a short drive from Winnipeg, but "close enough". ;-) Keith, I highly recommend you check out the REVV G pedal series (the G2, G3 and G4). No BS...it's like having a tube amp in a solid state pedal. Those guys at REVV really know how to recreate the sound of their amps (and the various channels the amps have) in pedal form. The pedals are on the higher end of the price scale, but worth every penny.

Glad you fixed the glitches, Keith! Even better this time around :) To roughly repeat the rest of my comment from first time around, these Revv amps are super-cool, and if I hadn't already found my amp, I'd be very interested. But the Blackstar Artisan 10AE meets my needs. 10 watts, super-portable (30lbs with a Creamback Neo speaker upgrade), single class-A EL34, compensated record output. OK so not my "one" amp, as I like to run a pair in stereo. But I could sell all my other amps and still be happy. I probably won't though!

Been eyeing these for awhile. Out of the budget at the moment, but really love what I’m seeing and hearing. Currently very happy with my Quilter ToneBlock202 and matching Quilter 12 cab. The included “flat channel” has been great for my HeadRush, and the regular “channels” are super solid. Also, the power this combo is capable of from basically nothing to hundreds of watts is crazy. Also, it’s super light. But still, a second more traditional tube amp that includes modern features like the Revv is definitely on my shortlist...at the top of that list now. Thanks!

Great vid. I've been impressed, with the Revv; tho, not in my current budget. I also appreciate your only talking about equipment that 'makes the grade'. I agree, with the comments about different speakers. I bought a gutted 4X12 and installed four different speaks and a selector switch. I've also done it with two diff pairs of 2x12's. I've got quite the collection of old Jenson's & Oxford's, as well as some modern choices. It's been a nice way to pair speakers with amps. Currently rebuilding a 1950 Bell & Howell 6L6 PP amp. The selector box will come in handy.

Thanks. As always; great information, well presented.

I always think that simple isn't the same as basic. An amp like the D20 has depth and complexity, but it's distilled into a simple, clean package with enough controls and options to give you flexibility but without too many to make things complicated. Elegant design does far more to encourage simplicity without being constrained by technical limitations. It does what Apple devices were always supposed to, it just works. You can't ask for more than that from an amp. When the music stores here reopen I think I'll definitely look to try one out!

An amp that I've felt the same way about for a while is my Blackstar ID Core 100 stereo combo. While it's not a tube amp, it's not a modeling amp in the traditional sense either. It has a great response that reminds me of my tube amp that I used to have. It's got 6 great voicings, and very similar output features to what the Revv has. For a hobbyist player looking for a gigging/home recording amp for under $500, it's been a really satisfying and versatile amp.

Great video ! Much appreciated!

Perfect timing on this video. I have a Peavy Classic 30 and Mesa Bogie 50 Caliber that would dearly like to sell and reduce my amp foot print in the office. I would still hang on to my BBC 300W bass cab and tc electronic head. I have been looking for a smaller rig for toting around. I don't play in big halls or rooms so this would seem ideal. Plus I can get close to paying for it all with a few sales. Honoring the "getting the most with the least. amount of gear" theme.

What I really enjoyed was the fact that you shared why you think someone would like this amp and the five points you brought up are the reasons also why I would like this amp as well. What I have seen with a lot of small low powers amps is they tend to use EL84 power tubes which I don't like the sound of much. This head uses 6V6 tubes which I tend to like for that Fender clean sound which I think is a selling point for this amp if you are interested in getting a nice clean tone.

'65 Deluxe Reverb RI and a '57 Custom Champ here. I like to run them in stereo, using a JHS buffer splitter. I like to set one amp in one corner of the room and one in an opposite corner, and get some great sound effects when I dime the reverb on the DRRI and dime the Topanga reverb pedal I use with the Champ. You could never force me to pick one to keep and one to get rid of. I live in a world of "at least 2 amps" (and at least 6 or 7 electrics and 3 or 4 acoustics) :)

Im down to two amps, both older tube. A 72 silverface champ and an early 80’s sundown A-50 (RIP Dennis Kager) Both have warehouse speakers. Both sound killer. This little Revv head has got me curious though. Great channel, please keep up the good work.

Fryette GP/DI is very similar, and they’re coming out with an IR version soon. Being a 1W amp, it’s more geared to home and studio, but goose it up with a power amp and it can do gigs.

Keith, I found your channel by watching your History of the Flying V video. I think you're doing something very new and different for guitar on KZread, and I mean that in the best possible way. I'm an 80s metal guy, with aspirations of having a Mesa or Marshall half-stack in my living room to jam Slayer, Metallica, and other thrash metal tunes. However, I need a house with a living room first, and even then, those rigs aren't exactly feasible. While channels like Ola's, and Steve from Boston produce fantastic content, for many of us, gear collections like that are untenable due to cost, volume, and many other constraints. Your focus on getting the best sound, for the least amount of gear, all while working around the constraints of your home environment are just what many of us need. Thank you for doing this.

I’ve got the Generator 120 Mkiii and I don’t think I’ve ever used an amp with this many bells and whistles that is also incredibly intuitive. Also, I will totally agree with you on the Revv power scaling. My Generator 120 Mkiii goes from 120 watts down to 10 watts, and doesn’t make me feel like I’ve sacrificed anything. I’m in a loud band that utilizes very loud amps (Matamp GT120, Ampeg V4, etc) and being able to have an exact version of my loud tone at bedroom levels is something I’ve never been able to capture. This amp makes it possible. I might grab a G20 as a backup since the direct in option is so well done.

my lil fender blues jr 3 dose whatever i ask it to do weather that's playing the blues or metal or anything in between. its louder than i expected 15 watts could be! its mostly stock but the speaker was swapped out for a huge improvement! i tossed a g.w.h retro 30.. 70 watt speaker..and it added alot of punch! and it loves to have pedals in front pushing it around a lil bit. and the reverb is sweet on my particular unit!

Over the years of playing I have come to find out and agree with the statements made in the video that around 15 to 20 watts is the prime wattage for almost any gig just look at Mike Campbell's rig using small wattage amps with microphones to play stadiums( although in that situation there's something to be said about a good microphone preamp as well) I only wish I had this many good choices in amplifiers 40 years ago one thing I didn't see in this video was how the Rev stands up to foot pedals besides that great video keep up the good work at the five watt world

Was looking for a new amp to gig and record with in the sea of orange, fender, marshall, vox, and countless other companies. You settled the argument I have had in my own mind. I am looking for a less is more approach to my musical journey. Thank you.

Both models, the D20 and the G20 have merits. If it's heavier music then the G20. Short of that, or a need for channel switching I'd go with the D20.

@@fivewattworld im chasing tone. I have a custom tele and a 58 stratocaster. My search has lead me to a les paul standered 60s. This plus my pedals im hoping to find that elusive tone. I have done some home recording. My younger years I did some gigs looking to get back into it. The hard part is finding that sound you hear it in your head its almost there you can get it through the studio and software but I want the third demsion of having that tone in a amp. Its not easy getting there on a budget. Its a teacher of patience and practice.

the two notes stuff is great. I dont have this revv but I have the captor x which is the two note IR loadbox. Using it with my Swart combo for recording and late night playing, it is really incredible. The hybrid approach is where its at

I've been strongly considering one of these here recently, then lo and behold, you put this video out. Coincidence? I think not.

I agree with Rick on this so Rick got to give you you a thumbs up for your videos as well you both have made so many videos that have helped me so much in the last year. I have been debating a lunchbox amp purchase for some time now and it has been a difficult choice to make. So many companies have really impressive lunchbox amps right now but the most impressive to me REVV. everything they make from pedals to amps are just phenomenal and they are to me the leaders in amplification right now and gut feeling says it will remain as such for days to come. As always your videos are remarkable as well are Rick's I hope to meet you both eventually and share some thoughts Stay Safe and THANK YOU
