Glenn, seriously, congratulations on getting directly involved in the development of a Revv pedal! I mean what an honor! This pedal 100% has the kind of sound I've been looking for, and as a long time fan, I'm now also honored to say that I immediately went ahead and purchased the Glenn Fricker Northern Mauler pedal. Sick stuff, man. Thank you for doing what you do, and again, congratulations.
Never apologize, Nick! See You In Hell is a fucking metal classic! I first heard it as a teen just getting into metal, on one of the CKY movies (I think). That was one of the songs that made me want to pick up guitar
I just received my pedal from Sweetwater, this pedal sounds soooo amazing! It didnt even take much dialing in to get the tone I’ve been chasing after for so long. I’m currently running it through a 2x12 Boss Katana Mk.1 amp, I’m just speechless at how amazing my amp sounds. Great pedal!!! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Pretty impressive! Revv is probably one of the best modern Metal companies overall, they seem to got their shit together! I still honestly think it doesn't get much more heavier than the TRUE HM-2 tone SPECIFICALLY the one used on "Children Of The Cross" by "Dismember", but I definitely want this pedal alongside the HM-2 in my rig!
What I quite liked about this was that it seemed (to me at least) like ALL the variations are sufficiently 'restricted' so they would work well in a full band/mix situation. I have a hard time imagining someone using this pedal and having their sound fighting with other guitars or bass for space in the frequency spectrum. Which can only be a good thing :)
Glenn, I just received the Northern Mauler last week & this is no B.S. this is the perfect distortion pedal in my humble opinion. I've been playing since I was 11 in 1997 & have tried countless pedals over the years to achieve the perfect metal tone for me & some have come close but this pedal achieves it. Well done!
Interesting, in the solo (8:49) of the mix I heard the lead tones of Ride The Lightning. I normally don’t like that over the top chainsaw sound on its own but man this pedal sounds fantastic in a mix. What’s cool is you can blend the two tones or just use the modern one when playing. Then record with both. Now, if only it has a Cockblocker in it lol.
I just got one. I don’t play any metal but I do enjoy raunchy sounds in country-rock and this has it in spades. The blend function is great, it gives you a lot of control over the sound. I run it through a Yorkville tube amp with a Eminence Tonker and it gives me a sound I really like.
For modern high gain tones, my Engl amp works great without pedals, from clean to extreme levels of high gain saturation, Fortin Natas, Diezel VH4, etc., would as well. Old school pushing a tube amp with boosts, eqs, ODs, dists, etc., was needed before amps were able to reach high gain on their own. For me, I just don't see the need for pedals to push my tube amps, that's why I have these amps. Back in the day, I used a full ADA rack rig, including the MQ-1 (stereo graphic eq). Using the same MP-1 preset and varying the MQ-1 eq curves, I was able to get a wide range of different sounds. I've been using EQ pedals as a boost ever since, usually for my leads. I have a 5-band graphic EQ and a noise gate pedal that I rarely use, except as a lead boost. If you haven't tried it, you may be surprised what a 5, 7 or 10-band EQ into the front of your amp can do. IMO. IME.
@@SpectreSoundStudios Hey Glenn! This pedal sounds freaking awesome, I’m really digging it. Thanks again for sending one my way on your live stream last night! Cant wait to try this thing out myself!!!
Available for pre-order at Sweetwater for $249.99. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NorthernMaul--revv-glenn-fricker-northern-mauler-guitar-effects-pedal
I ordered the Mauler Pedal a couple weeks ago to my home in Texas thru Sweet Water and I was told today my order will not be coming in until April. Why is my order taking longer than usual? 🤘🤘🎸
With it being a Revv product, I thought it'd be twice as expensive as I would think, but it turned out to be half of what I expected, so it seemed to be even cheaper than I thought it'd be even though it's priced at what I originally thought it should be.
Not quite my pedal.. but have to say, the sound quality of the video is superb.. voice vs hearing the sound is very balanced. I guess that was a well treated room?
WORKS 4 ME! Sounds great, good job on your first pedal! GREAT CONCEPT! 1 Gain control, totally new drive idea. Fluffs demo was pretty good too. Nick is the best LH axman! Thx Glen \M/
GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!! i just love that bottom end on you tracks, could your make a video explaining how to get a massive tone like that??? PLEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE!!!! maybe a multi track (processed so we know how they sound) but hollllyy f***ck please explain how you get that tone!!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE!!
What!? 2:31 That's more like a bug than a feature. If volume controls how it distorts it's not a volume but a gain knob. If the gain is tied to a volume knob it takes away control between distortion and volume.
Literally last week I was describing to my buddy how I wanted to try blending a modern metal tone with an old-school chainsaw or doom sound and wondering if it would work - this pedal sounds killer!
curious on how this would sound on bass, set the "modern" side to be clean or a bit overdriven with the hm2 providing the dirt and then blending however much you needed into the "clean/modern" tone
that sounds awesome! REVV makes some killer sounding stuff man. Don't think I've heard a REVV product that didn't sound awesome. On a completely unrelated note, If you haven't been keeping an eye on it, you might want to do an updated check on the Helix (either Native or one of the hardware units). The new update (3.50) give you the option to move the position and the angle of the "digital" mic on the new cabs, which is something I have wished they had for a while.... Very cool stuff.
In the future i would love to see how it sounds with a boss katana. Its my only amp i got and i would like to get my hands on this pedal. Have it be the first pedal in my collection. Been watching for afew years now always love the content. 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
I own a 2x12 Katana Mk. 1 and just got my Mauler in the mail yesterday. Wow! This pedal makes it sound like Im playing through a half stack! It really sounds amazing!
Hey Glenn, quick question: many suggest using pedals like this one plugged straight into the return of an effects loop. How can I do that and still use my effects after the pedal in a signal chain? Do I just make an effects chain with this near the beginning and plug it all into the loop? Pardon if I'm just stupid. Thanks, Glenn!!
my question would be how much of the Revv "red Channel" used in the video was the tone and how much was the pedal... it sounded great in the video however I am doubtful that it was the pedal as there was no base tone shown without the pedal on... or did I miss that?
awwww, shit, just when I had convince dmyself I was happy with my Metal Zone MT-2, along comes this video. Ah well, money is meant to be spent! Sounds awesome, Glenn....I think I have to have one!
with a heavy price tag im sure. okay not bad at all. I bookmarked the site. Awfully great timing too cause I've been looking to upgrade my equipment and heres a possibility
Not too shabby at all. Saves having to stack a pedal or two with a HM-2 to round out the chainsaw tone. Might have to wait till we're out of the upcoming recession for the AUD to bounce back before I can order one though lol.
Ahh ur correct as always lol so sorry , I got 5 kids,and stay at home dad, I'm watching ur stuff with craziness around me lol smh. But I catch ya some day brother. Big fan .
What if you started from a clean tone from a "non-metal" amp, like a Two Rock, and then engaged this pedal? I'm not sure if the dry signal of the amp in this demo was also overdriven.
I think there's only one knob missing that is a master volume..rest all is good..wanna see a comparison with grindstein pedal if possible. love ur vdos glenn. cheers from India.
Glenn surley mauls a lot. "Mäuler" is just the plurar of Maul tho, I think. Please any actual Germans confirm if someone can be a "Mäuler". I'm Austrian, we call maulen "sudern". So if you could make a special version for Austria and call it the "Northern Suderer" I would buy it in a Heartbeat! Awesome Pedal nonetheless! Also loved the dynamic of you two guys! :D Edit: Spelling
several one-channel preamp/distortion pedals come out at the same time: chug, soldano, this one. but i would suggest to everybody "demonfx be-odx plus", which is a clone of friedman's be-od deluxe. i have one. it sounds amazing and has two proper channels.
Figured I'd just drop this question here to hear from you guys.. at a smaller budget, what speakers would you recommend for a Vakveking 4x12 cab? The stock ones are horrible... Oh, and I'm looking to tightening up the low end mainly and get a clearer sound. Right now it's muddy as a swamp soccer tournament.
Shades of Heartwork tones on the full mix, but a bit modernized. Fantastic sound
Ty! Love that record!!
Heartwork was a groundbreaking album that defined the sound of 'heavier' metal for the following however-many years, so that's a great compliment.
Glenn, seriously, congratulations on getting directly involved in the development of a Revv pedal! I mean what an honor! This pedal 100% has the kind of sound I've been looking for, and as a long time fan, I'm now also honored to say that I immediately went ahead and purchased the Glenn Fricker Northern Mauler pedal.

Holy shit so many killer pedals coming out right now. Not a full chainsaw fan but digging that blended sound
That was the idea!
Never apologize, Nick! See You In Hell is a fucking metal classic! I first heard it as a teen just getting into metal, on one of the CKY movies (I think). That was one of the songs that made me want to pick up guitar
Congrats on the launch my dude!
Fucking badass pedal!!! It seems very versatile. And props to Nick Bowcott...he's STILL got it!!
Sold. I’m buying one. Love how versatile it is.
Link now working! :)

The tone-metals in this pedal deliver crisp, clear mids and searing highs.
It's that tantalium pedal body.
Yay! Nick from Sweetwater and of course Grim Reaper! Glad you got to go there and announce your pedal Glenn. So cool! 🤘
Man, I was hoping for built in noise gates. Can you do a deluxe version with per channel Cock Blocker circuitry? Call it the Cock Mauler
Variation on a theme. Distortion turns the noise gate on, so it could be called the Cock Exciter lol
Glenn, I just received the Northern Mauler last week & this is no B.S. this is the perfect distortion pedal in my humble opinion. I've been playing since I was 11 in 1997 & have tried countless pedals over the years to achieve the perfect metal tone for me & some have come close but this pedal achieves it. Well done!
Awesome pedal Glenn!!!! It sounds amazing on a RUclips video, so I can only imagine in person.
Congratulations!
Love Grim Reaper!! I listened to Rock You to Hell a ton back in the day! Thanks Nick!
Sounds better than it did on the livestreem last night
Yeah, not sure wtf was going on there, might have been streaming to too many platforms?
@@SpectreSoundStudios well these things happen

Just won this pedal from Revv 2 weeks ago. Wasn’t sure it was my thing, but just a ton of different tones and more to explore!
I treasure Nick's DVD on Heavy Metal guitar. Love when he throws his tuner across the floor.🖤Great video!
Looking awesome Glenn! also great content as always.
People in the audience will def notice my new sweet "blended" tone. Can't wait to order one .....

The only pedal that will always be on my board next to my Tonex. Glenn I can't thank you enough for bringing this to the market!
Oh, look, another new pedal that I didn’t know that I needed until I heard it!
Funny how that works… :)
@@SpectreSoundStudios Hey Glenn! This pedal sounds freaking awesome, I’m really digging it. Thanks again for sending one my way on your live stream last night! Cant wait to try this thing out myself!!!
Hey Glen just wanted to say thanks for the free IR's. My helix is sounding amazing now!
Congratulations, Glenn!!
Man, there's some gnarly tones going on there. Well done, sir.
is the video cutting to black at 1:22 for anyone else?
This is a great soft landing after the guitar review that came out yesterday. Awesome work!
Great video Glenn. That pedal sounds killer \m/.
Congrats Glenn!
Awesome pedal and video Glenn! Nick is a Heavy Metal Legend 🤘🏻😎🎸
Killer demo. Sounds amazing !

Cool pedal. Next year - with two audio outs ? That would be incredibly useful.
I ordered the Mauler Pedal a couple weeks ago to my home in Texas thru Sweet Water and I was told today my order will not be coming in until April. Why is my order taking longer than usual? 🤘🤘🎸
The shred pedal from bernth, the chug from ola, the soldano overdrive and now this thing. Easy pick, get a looper and run all four parallel...
my very first reacting was a stamnk face alongside a whisper to myself "that sounds so fucking good. SHEESH". well done guys holy shit
I love the idea of blending two pedals like that, only pedal I have with that feature is my Ibanez Nu-tube screamer, great feature to have.
Glad you like it!
I pre ordered this pedal from Sweetwater ,Great job on the pedal man.
With it being a Revv product, I thought it'd be twice as expensive as I would think, but it turned out to be half of what I expected, so it seemed to be even cheaper than I thought it'd be even though it's priced at what I originally thought it should be.
This is super badass and i love how you can blend them! Great fucking idea man!
Love it! Sounds killer on bass too!
Wow. Its not only winter that's coming.
lol!
GLENN! Any chance you'll re-release some form of noise gate? I hadn't the chance to get a Cockblocker but really want one!
Nick is such an awesome guy and such a great guitarist. That pedal is gold. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
I'm no expert, but when you turned the treble knob up was around the time I started really feeling it.
Not quite my pedal.. but have to say, the sound quality of the video is superb.. voice vs hearing the sound is very balanced. I guess that was a well treated room?

1:22 OOPS!
Great anecdote from Nick and much respect to Mide Judge \m/
great review and awesome pedal....and hey nicks using what else can you say !!!!!
Love how the pedal turned out on the Ghost Fret Pro 7 string. Definitely buying this nothern beast! 🤘
that sounds awesome! REVV makes some killer sounding stuff man. Don't think I've heard a REVV product that didn't sound awesome.

It's great seeing Nick and RIP to Grim Reaper vocalist Steve Grimmett!
I'm selling my DS-1 and Metal Core and buying one tomorrow. Excellent playing & review, Nick...

This pedal kills this new Soldano pedal in all aspects.
Accurate.
two completly diferent things
How about you do something smart, and wait till you play both...
@@morbidmanmusic I will not play any.Rev gives me different overtones.I like Rev.But I have all I need.
Awesome glen !! Sounds great !! Congrats !! :)
Ty!

Im not used to see a SnakeByte leftie! :D
awwww, shit, just when I had convince dmyself I was happy with my Metal Zone MT-2, along comes this video.
Ah well, money is meant to be spent!
Sounds awesome, Glenn....I think I have to have one!
Glenn, I’m from Belgium! I was trying order, but it’s only shipping to USA! Help!
I’m on it!
That sound great. Could you see if you can get some good sounds out a Gamechanger Plasma Pedal.
Glenn’s Great Northern Beaver Mauler!
Full mix the guitar that's a Chapman 7 string Z or explorer style I haven't seen that one before
"In Flames, Entombed, IKEA, Ola..." LMAO
Here's to all of you old enough to remember checking out those cool Grim Reaper album covers in the record store. I love Grim Reaper :)
with a heavy price tag im sure. okay not bad at all. I bookmarked the site. Awfully great timing too cause I've been looking to upgrade my equipment and heres a possibility
Just curious.. what would be the best way to use this? Straight into the front of the amp on clean? Or into the fx loop?
Grim Reaper kicks ass, epic video Glenn
Not too shabby at all. Saves having to stack a pedal or two with a HM-2 to round out the chainsaw tone. Might have to wait till we're out of the upcoming recession for the AUD to bounce back before I can order one though lol.
Ahhh chit maaan ,I didn't know u was at sweetwater ..love ta meet Cha brother .I live in fort Wayne lol
I did announce on the show that I would be there!!
Ahh ur correct as always lol so sorry , I got 5 kids,and stay at home dad, I'm watching ur stuff with craziness around me lol smh. But I catch ya some day brother. Big fan .
Btw outstanding pedal brother gotta get me one.
I'ma start saving for it, WELL done brother
Please, make this as a plugin and it will sell like hot cookies! Nice pedal.
'the show must go on' is the sleeper hit on that album. 80s grim reaper for the win.
I have a c-blocker already so I may as well get this as well.
I might've misunderstood. But,did they say on the live feed last night that this has the c-blocker in it to a degree aswell?
This episode is Nick's fourth appearance on Beavis and Butt-Head.
"Fear No Evil", is one of my all time favorite Metal songs!!! 💚🎸
*Macho Man Randy Savage Voice* -Oooouu, yeeeeeeahhh. Deadly pedal Glenn love the sound, and shout out to Nick as well, Cheers dudes!

A Revv style grindstein, I dig it.

Seems pretty similar to a Grindstein w a different knob layout. Sounds killer though.
I highly recommend the Grindstein! That’s a great pedal!
It be nice to get smg sticker with that....
But it sound amazing
That sounds fucking wicked!!
impressed with the spund.. the players not so much but good demo. lots of tones in there
At 6: 45, remind me carcass heartwork tone, that's awesome!
