Taking advantage of being here early: I just wanted to say that since I discovered your youtube content and music, both Toska, Dorje and solo work, you have been the greatest inspiration to me Rabea. I've never been motivated to anything more than I am now to get better at guitar and develop musically. Thank you Rabea for everything you do, you really do help keep us sane in these times!
I worked part time at a guitar shop over the summer a couple years ago and we had a used Revv 7-40 for a bit and that was the BEST amp I've ever played through. These guys make absolutely colossal tones and I can't wait to own one.
I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see the thing AND hear the thing in the opening seconds of a video. So many channels I'm skipping around trying to hear music of any kind haha
Between the omega obsidian, victory vx100, Friedman be100 dlx, soldano slo, this amp, both your signature guitars, and some of the new Ibanez sig guitars...I have a lot of freaking gear to buy. And that doesn’t even include the home studio I’m wanting to build. You’re killin me Smalls! 😂
Dude, you’re one of may absolute favorite players right now. From the funk nasty Strat jams to the so tight riffing to the mountaintop leads. Seriously, your playing is special. Carry on, please. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Another sick video man, that Les Paul and that amp go together so well! What camera did you use for this? I'm looking to get a camera for videos in the future :)
Strat neck duller. Glad you corrected. Many people have a pickup with much treble in their neck on their guitar. Examples of those: '59, Jazz, SSL-1, SSL-5, _Classic Stack Plus_, Slash, Alnico II, Full Shred, Duckbuckers, Pearly Gates, Cruiser, Area 67, Area 58, _Sentient_, Antiquity II Surfer and Seth Lover. The neck pickup is bright on many guitars. And I like it that way. Apparently you do as well, looking at the Chapmans :)
Love how your demos are done with a LP and a strat both. Best way to see what an amp can really do. Start with the standard guitars most people use, then show what they sound like with other shit like hollow bodies and custom made shredders, etc. Love that old beat up LP custom btw. That thing looks like it’s been around the block a few times lol.
Thanks man! Yeah i try to do that where possible in my vids. Gives more context I guess! And yeah that LP is a 71 - man i wish i knew it’s journey until i got my hands on it!
Last comment. I did put Revv '15 Generator in my sheet for a reason. Like the Friedman '14 BE-100, Bogner '01 Überschall, Bogner '95 Ecstacy, Diezel '94 VH-4 and Mesa Boogie '92 Dual Rectier, it's (going to be) a modern classic. It should be on many stages post pandemic. In case a Soldano fan complains: I consider the last thirty years modern, that was '87. So I consider that a classic. And I should add the Blackstar '07 Artisan and '07 Series One.
Great Amp....... Off on a tangent, you ever considered adding a Ed O’brian strat to your guitar collection??? Thinking that would be a marriage made in heaven 😉
Hey Rabea, great review and playing as always! I wonder how a G3 pedal would sound going through this amp’s power section as compared to the actual purple channel of the 120 MkIII or the 100P? You could essentially get the equivalent of the 120 MkIII but for the price of this amp and the pedal. If you have a G3 pedal, could you try it and make a video of the results?
This is certainly at the top of the best recent trend in valve amps - the inclusion of features to allow silent recording, and the memory of all the switching for each preset is great. Question for you - you said you can't crank amps where you live, but how loud are you actually monitoring when recording/mixing? Is it loud enough for the guitar to naturally feedback, or....? Cheers!
@@goodman1127 Thanks. The Savage seems to be capable of some very fat, thick and smooth tones. I want some thick classic rock tones on the Revv along with cleans, fringe and metal.
@@goodman1127 Not a good idea since the Purple is my least favorite channel. I like it but much prefer the 100R and the 120 Mk III is even better. I wish the Green was a bit warmer like a Bogner. but a boost or EQ helps that.
Ah. It's Blue, Green & Red. If you want Blue, Green & Purple there's the 100P MkIII. And if you want all of the channels, there's the 120. But I agree with you, Rabea on the 100R, 'cause my two favourite Revv Pedals are the Green & Red (G2 & G4). R for Red, not for Reverb. :). In Revv's own words: "If the G3 is a scalpel, the G4 is a sledgehammer." Well, then. I prefer the sledgehammer in this 100R.
Hi Reba, Love your videos...big fan...your reviews are the go to for me 100%, you cover everything, no stone left unturned. Question, you mentioned you were running both a Zilla V30 and a Mesa V30 Two-Notes IR. Are you able to be more specific on which they are (as there are several)? I think they sounded fantastic and I would like to pick some up off the Two-Notes site to try with my Revv Generator. Thank you in advance.
I took a page from Fender and in my sheet on pedals, on the Revv G-pedals I put: "Revv '15 Generator [Colour]" as the description now. Yes, 2015 was the Gen 1. I'm writing this at the start and pretty sure you still have the same Clean (Blue, right?) & Green channels at least in this MkIII.
Yeah, baritones pretty much always come with them as it's hard to get that low without a wound string. I don't think anyone makes the solid strings thick enough anyways
Really enjoyed the video. I have a question about using the headphone out Jack. If I’m playing at home with headphones plugged into the headphone out, am I hearing just the straight amp, or am I hearing the amp with a cab simulation?
Hey Rabea ! \,,/ I've just started recording music at home and I'm having trouble dialing in a tight chuggy metal tone. It sounds all muddy and has no clarity. Could you please make a video for beginners on how you go about dialing in a modern, tight metal tone? Dos and don'ts kind of thing. In a previous video you mentioned you like your tone to sound pretty good from the get go before playing with the nuances because it makes playing and writing more inspiring, that's the kind of thing I'm going for. In case it helps I'm using an Chapman ML1 Modern Baritone into the Plini Archetype plugin.
I was watching this video and randomly had this thought. "What if Rabea straightened his hair?" I'm a dude too 🤣 I've just always seen the curls and now I'm curious.
Sounds great. If you get to keep the amp, I'd be curious if you could tweak the tightness and the phase settings to make the stereo widening work better for you. It seems to work fine when I'm tracking with my JVM and Captor X with the left and right inputs running into separate mono tracks panned left and right rather than summing into a single stereo track, so I'd be curious to see what you can do with it. (Admittedly I'm not a particularly good musician, so it might be that I'm just not noticing the problem.) I'm also wondering if the turning on the "Width" control on the amp isn't combining well with the stereo widening from the Two Notes.
Thank you so much for this video. Wonder how much that head cost......well...too much a think :-) anyway...it sounds killer and your playing is awesome!!! Thank you
I've been looking at another high gai amp head if not a modeler or Kemper profiler. I have as my more vintage high gain amp, my Bogner 20th Shiva, and I set it up to do clean, vintage gain, high gain and boosted gain with the included footswitch. With the Revv, can you set it up so that each channel l is a gainer version of the one before? I would want to set it up as clean - crunch - high gain - higher gain and then I'd use the loop for EQ and effects. I ask because I had a Mark V and I couldn't get it to work this way. Each channel was too different from one another. I love what I hear of the Revv and while it would be cool to set it up as four different or unique sounding channels but I need to set it up as four channels that blend well together more like gain stages or layers of gain. Thanks!
I'm looking for a second amp for a dual amp setup, so it doesn't need to be a great like this one... Anyone in the Bea community using a budget amp? Do Revv make anything more affordable? Can't be digital because it's too pair with a valve amp (Victory V30 MkII Jack), could be solid state though. If I didn't need to buy another load box all the better, so this thing having two notes built in is very interesting!
I like the tones you are getting on this 100r. Then I was checking out the difference between the P and the R model. They make a 120 Mk3. That has the P and the R in it. But all the videos I find make that amp sounds like a metal amp. Where this video makes it a dirty sounding high gain amp. Can the 120 mk3 do the same thing this amp does and more? I am more a Les Paul fender guy. Where this is what you are using were everyone else demoing this amp is using a Caparison or similar type guitar. Those are great guitar but not really what I use. So maybe it sounding super metal on other videos is because of that. What do you think? 120 mks or the 100R?
how do you adjust the xlr output level from the amp and your gain lvel fron the xlr in into your audio interface ? bc im having trouble with that turning the gain on my amp up bc when i do that my audio interface is gettintg way to much signal and is distorting...
So in general do you eq darker than most? Seems like your recordings are darker than other demos. Or is that more of the recording gear you're using? I know you have said in the past that you eq a little beefier because you're the only guitar in the mix usually.
Being the only guitar in the mix is a good point. That's why when you play alone you can have a beefy, low-end heavy tone, but as soon as you add drums and bass to that it's not gonna work. You have to have a lot more presence in your tone for it to sit in a mix well. The low-end is generally reserved for bass guitar and drums
@@oskarwroniewicz yeah that's why I wanted to get his take on it. I'm personally a Vox and Fender in stereo guy so getting a "dark" tone isn't really an option. I mean you can but you know what I mean.
I tend to leave the EQ at 12 on most amps, though I’ll add some presence or treble when I need it. I generally find I lean towards less top end sizzle, but I find I usually add it back in a mix. But love I’ve always kinda had free reign as Dave’s bass tone isn’t a normal bass tone haha
Hay guys, try out the bareknuckle 550k pots, they are awesome. I have a set of standard pots and the push pull pots. They sound awesome. (I use a 0.022 k73-15a cap or "white russian" as I call them)
Hey! Love your video! Have you tried an Engl Savage or EVH Stealth 100? I'm looking at these amps, plus KSR for clean to classic rock to 90s hard rock and grunge to modern metal. VH to 90s to Slipknot. :) Thanks!!!!
I hope you’re all having a great day!
Hope you enjoy the tones :)
favorite youtuber by a long shot!!
baritone strings 64-14? ) and drop A ?)
i liked when you said "it had the girth, and the balls"
Good video, thanks for making it clear its paid content. Keep it up!
Hope all is well rabea, your silos sound similar to my evo2 and evolution set. Think I'll buy a set when I have some spare cash.
Using a Boss Katana as an amp stand is a pretty chad move. Both are great amps lol. Great tones
Ah man. It’s in here cause I jam on it instead of turning on all the rig all the time when I’m up here. But yeah it makes for a perfect amp stand too
Taking advantage of being here early: I just wanted to say that since I discovered your youtube content and music, both Toska, Dorje and solo work, you have been the greatest inspiration to me Rabea. I've never been motivated to anything more than I am now to get better at guitar and develop musically. Thank you Rabea for everything you do, you really do help keep us sane in these times!
Amen to That!
great comment! you think he would reply to this?
Might be the only amp in it's price range that actually belongs there.
This man is releasing cool gear demos like its his job or something. Love all the content.
Rabea can be considered an influencer in the guitar player community. I can say that he influenced me to improve my sound and 000-000-000s haha
Well... it is
Well it is a job:) he earns his living from these videos... can be expected...
Love when you play the baritone. It gets beautifully dark and clear
Beast amp! Great demo Rabea
LOL poor ol Boss repurposed as a table. Can’t say they’re not versatile 😂
I worked part time at a guitar shop over the summer a couple years ago and we had a used Revv 7-40 for a bit and that was the BEST amp I've ever played through. These guys make absolutely colossal tones and I can't wait to own one.
Been hip to Revv for years, but I've never heard one sound this great.
YES! Continue to look for Demos on the Generator series. Seriously considering buying a Generator 120 MKiii to just be the end all be all amp :)
Great review. When you rocked the Les Paul I just kept thinking Tool.
I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to see the thing AND hear the thing in the opening seconds of a video. So many channels I'm skipping around trying to hear music of any kind haha
Great demo and great amp!!
Sounds great. Your playing has been such a huge inspiration to me over the last few years since I've gotten back into guitar. Great video Bea! ❤
Awesome amp, awesome tones. Who was waiting for the baritone? 😉
Between the omega obsidian, victory vx100, Friedman be100 dlx, soldano slo, this amp, both your signature guitars, and some of the new Ibanez sig guitars...I have a lot of freaking gear to buy. And that doesn’t even include the home studio I’m wanting to build. You’re killin me Smalls! 😂
that amp with that Baritone Guitar its criminal!!
Dude, you’re one of may absolute favorite players right now. From the funk nasty Strat jams to the so tight riffing to the mountaintop leads. Seriously, your playing is special. Carry on, please. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I swear, Rabea just noodling about sounds better than half the songs I've listened to. I watch your videos just to hear your chords!
..... Is it strange that one of the biggest questions I have after this video is about how he maintains that Fro
Had no idea they are a Canadian company, i'll look way harder into them the next time i'm amp shopping.
👍 Thanks for going in depth I've seen so many play through this amp I like that you show everything even the software aspects.
Cool! Didn't know about this brand.
Lie, you should totally do an episode on Rabea/Toska.
Oh. Check out their G2, G3 and G4 pedals as well then.
That bright switch is killer.
Another sick video man, that Les Paul and that amp go together so well! What camera did you use for this? I'm looking to get a camera for videos in the future :)
Thanks for all the demos! You have the best tone and riff taste.
Come for the playing and the insight, stay for the bang on noise gate impressions 😂
in your hands, all sounds good!
Sweet Satriani "The Extremist" at 26:36!
Love watching your vids, your style of playing is amazing and how it comes through in different styles, particularly your resolves at the end of lines
The aging on your Les Paul binding looked very cool in the video.
The amp sounds great. But I'm kinda really thinking - that Les Paul is so awesome ❤️

Love the use of the chords from Burn it Down by Alter Bridge at the beginning lol
What a great sound. Modern incarnation of Mesa Rectifier
Love how on the close ups at the beginning it just shows "ASS" below the bass knobs
Last comment. I did put Revv '15 Generator in my sheet for a reason.

Great demo , i m very impressed by this amp
I love your demos always tasty, and the amp is sick.
Great Video bro 👍I have wondered about this Amp, and u did good review.
Nice cheeky bit of Satriani 'Extremist' there sir!
What a amp, & that Les Paul is hot, reminds me of a 74 Black Beauty I once owned, sweet playing as well.
The bright switch adds saturations and upper mids presence.
I'd love to see Victory building amps with something like the Torpedo built in.
Great vid Bea!
i absolutly need one
Always great content
Great Amp.......
Off on a tangent, you ever considered adding a Ed O’brian strat to your guitar collection??? Thinking that would be a marriage made in heaven 😉
super complete your videos of amplifiers good work a hug am from 🇧🇷 🤘
If you and Drew Goddard made a record together i think I'd spontaneously combust!!

The fact that playing a Les Paul on medium gain instantly sounds like Tool has gotta be a testament to TONE WOOD there I said it.
@13:17
Such a great amp. I can't decide between this and the Engl Savage 120.
Revv is much better
@@goodman1127 Thanks. The Savage seems to be capable of some very fat, thick and smooth tones. I want some thick classic rock tones on the Revv along with cleans, fringe and metal.

Just read your comments in Guitar Player, 10 Future Prog Legends, the recognition is long over due.

would love to see a review of the bogner ecstasy, i have this same REVV. love it.
That amp sounds great
Rabea, can you PLEASE do another video showing off your baritone guitar? Idk like a whole video dedicated to it lol.
🤘🏽REVV Rules 🤘🏽
Great demo....turned me on to a killer brand.
"the heeh... hhheeeehhhehh" im dead 😂
Really enjoyed the video. I have a question about using the headphone out Jack. If I’m playing at home with headphones plugged into the headphone out, am I hearing just the straight amp, or am I hearing the amp with a cab simulation?
The Extremist by Joe Satriani at 26:36 is heavy as f@ck!
Damn! hahahah
@BLUBLUDit's kind of weird that nobody else noticed that song...
@BLUBLUD except you ofc haha
Holy shit, you didn't start out with a strat. Thanks.
Any chance you can do a toneprint for a HOF or show us a hof set up for a lush ambient reverb... Love your sounds Bea..👍🎶🎵
That Boss Katana be like: "these big boys are damn heavy"...or are they? =)
Your Soldano slo demo sounded better although this has a tighter sound
Hey Rabea ! \,,/ I've just started recording music at home and I'm having trouble dialing in a tight chuggy metal tone. It sounds all muddy and has no clarity. Could you please make a video for beginners on how you go about dialing in a modern, tight metal tone? Dos and don'ts kind of thing. In a previous video you mentioned you like your tone to sound pretty good from the get go before playing with the nuances because it makes playing and writing more inspiring, that's the kind of thing I'm going for. In case it helps I'm using an Chapman ML1 Modern Baritone into the Plini Archetype plugin.
Less amp gain and boost with a light drive 😁
I was watching this video and randomly had this thought. "What if Rabea straightened his hair?"
I'm a dude too 🤣 I've just always seen the curls and now I'm curious.
winnipeg represent
34:30 you wanna watch this
…pssst… did you capture some tones on the Quad Cortex?
It’s actually 120w. All three of the new amps are 120 even though the 120 is labeled differently.
Sounds great. If you get to keep the amp, I'd be curious if you could tweak the tightness and the phase settings to make the stereo widening work better for you. It seems to work fine when I'm tracking with my JVM and Captor X with the left and right inputs running into separate mono tracks panned left and right rather than summing into a single stereo track, so I'd be curious to see what you can do with it. (Admittedly I'm not a particularly good musician, so it might be that I'm just not noticing the problem.) I'm also wondering if the turning on the "Width" control on the amp isn't combining well with the stereo widening from the Two Notes.
If you release all of that b-roll guitar playing footage, ill watch all of it.
boosted green channel would be sick
Great demo! What happened with your JVM? You used to play that one a lot
Thank you so much for this video. Wonder how much that head cost......well...too much a think :-) anyway...it sounds killer and your playing is awesome!!! Thank you
