Thanks everyone!
This is one of the best demonstrations of the D20 tones. Thanks
Thank you very much!!
I've had my D20 for a year, and like you guys, I can't really get a good sound out of it without pedals. If you just want a small amp and the load box isn't important, a Princeton will be more satisfying IMO. I have a 68 Princeton Custom and I go back and forth between these two, and the Fender is way more satisfying. I'm keeping the D20 for now though.
It works great as a pedal platform...it’s a very ‘flat’ amp that can sound a bit ‘meh’ on its own but run a bunch of pedals into it and it comes to live - in my opinion!
For me the best part about this amp is the built in Two Notes Torpedo...it makes recording super easy and the kind of gigs I do (cover and corporate stuff and sideman gigs) super convenient too...it’s small and light and I don’t need to bring a cabinet - plug straight into the PA and you have a killer sounding rig
I haven't played with a D20 but I have it's big brother the Dynamis 7-40. There's nothing flat about its clean channel. It reminds me a lot of my old "red knobs" Fender Twin's clean channel. Similar chime and attack but it is a warmer sound. That Twin definitely had more "torque" though being a 10 watts amp and all.
The Dynamis does takes pedals amazingly well. But it has its own Red gain channel with 3 levels of Dynamics and that was the surprise on this amp for me. The Red channel has the Revv mojo but really does not sound like any of the dirt channels on the Generator models. it's more Marshally and more vintage to a point but has a lot of gain and character. It's incredibly thick and chewy. Awseome to play through.
But the clean on the Dynamis is just amazing. I have yet to see a D2 demo that has the same Fender bell-like chime that the Dynamis clean channel has. So I get what you mean.
@@StephaneBergeronPixelyzed I think part of the reason I wasn't impressed with the sound was due to my speaker. I have a Celestian Vintage 30 in a Barefaced cab, and that speaker isn't working for me. It has a brittle top end. When I play the D20 through my Princeton cab it sounds like a Princeton. So the amp is a keeper. I just need a better speaker.
@@ChadWork1 Cool! If you like your cab itself, replace the V30 with a G12H-75 Creamback. It's much more balanced than a V30 but has nice that nice Greenback-like mids bark and a much sweeter top end than the V30. I'm sure it would serve you much better with the D20.
@@StephaneBergeronPixelyzed Thanks for the tip. In both my 65 and 68 Princetons I've put in the Alnico Gold speakers and love them for their articulation and tighter bass. Would you know if theG12H-75 might be similar? The 12" Alnico gold doesn't fit into the Barefaced Reformer due to the baffles in the back that disperse the sound.
Digging the Mod bullseye t-shirt Alex is wearing!!!
Logo on the cab lights up???!?!?! OMG they've just beaten H&K in 80' flashiness :D
Haha...a light up logo makes EVERYTHING awesome...and it makes an awesome amp even more awesomerer
REVV D20 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Can you use cab and di at the same time?
As in a Cab sim AND an untreated direct sound at the same time? Not as far as I know...I know you can do that on the Torpedo Live if you use the S/PDIF out but not on this one as far as I know
just bought d20 , do i really need peddles?
Depends on what you want to play
Sounds real nasly how you have it set up
🤷🏻♂️
Hi, is it possible to get nice clean sound? On every demo I've seen it is not very clean.
You can get a nice clean sound out of it...the only thing is that if you use a speaker it may not get super loud if you want a "Fender" clean - it's only 20w so you don't have a huge amount of headroom...if you use the cab sims and no real speaker then yes because you can run it at a low volume and just turn it up on the mixer...I might do a quick video on that...
the d20 is simply amazing
It's a great amp...and the built in Torpedo makes it something really special...and it's not expensive
I'd have to disagree. I'm not digging the muffled sound for a supposed pedal platform, I've heard better pedal platform amps for much less money.
@@noodler2979 i have to disagree too :D it is a matter of taste of course but having the torpedo and a load on board is simply amazing ... so what amp are cheaper and better ? but keep in mind that adding a cabsim AND a proper load means adding at least 300-400 euros
@ Based on sound not perks, the Marshall dsl 40 and the slightly cheaper Orange rocker 32 they sound better with pedals through their clean channels. There are more but I have watched every video for the Revv D20 and want to love it as this is what I'm looking for, a pedal platform, embedded two notes etc. but so far every video sounds average at best on clean and sub par with dirt pedals. Part of it could be the pedals being used because it seems everyone thinks because its a Revv amp they need to run a Revv pedal through it and no one has seemed to experiment with a minor few low gain exceptions.
So in my opinion all these Revv videos sound muffled no matter what cab or speakers they are running though and that's just not my taste. So for 1200 bucks plus more for a decent cab I would rather a combo under 1000 that will sound better to my taste.
Creamback or Greenback?

Thanks!
awesome!
Thank you Délivrance
PLS guys can you check if you can somehow plug a stereo delay/reverb to the headphone output, with ir turn on, and record it/play in stereo?
I don't know why but unfortunately most of producers, have DI outputs in XLR only, and i want to use stereo effects after my amp, like i do with
torpedo captor which has a trs output and i works, great, i really like this amp, but i would like to use it that way without the torpedo captor and
W.O.S. plugin on my PC.
I'd say you probably could...the headphone output is basically the same as the DI output in the back...the only thing could be volume issues...but I'll check it for you
@@TSFAHTPS Thank you, i dont think that volume would ba an issue, for the recording and just playing, but i wonder if it would work with normal guitar mono cable, or i would have to use stereo adapter and plug in to the delay/reverb unit in stereo (because i have NUX Atlantic, and it has stereo output but mono input)
I will check for you...
@@TSFAHTPS Thank You :)
@@TSFAHTPS How's that checking coming?
Def, positively, absolutely sounds.........................................like shyt!
Have you tried this through headphones?
Like how you went through a cab, most cunts on youtube just go DI and play with the software for half an hour, basically using it like an ampsim.
Thank you! Maybe don’t watch Part 2 of this video then...or maybe do - it might convince you that cabinet sims are actually really good...we got so close to the “real” cabinet sound with the cab sim that we couldn’t tell the difference
Was this the cleaner version with added headroom that Revv made after Henning's first review?

Yes it is...I believe Henning had a pre-production model...ours is a later production model of the amp
