personally i prefer the more scooped sound of the g4, indeed they are both awesome pedals.
Ok....right off the top. I have NEVER EVER seen ANYONE play a Leeway riff on a demo, let alone anyone that probably listens to them from
back in the day. Mikey Gibbons was one of my best friends back in the day and EVERYONE chased AJ's sound. Your good sir....are AMAZING ! ! !
Trying to work some more classic hardcore riffs in man! And yes, the tone on that record still holds up, IMO. Seems like a pushed Marshall of some sort
@@belligerentamateur Anytime I went to a rehearsal, they were pushing their Marshall's with those hard to find TC Electronic Distortion Booster pedal. I also think that AJ's SG had some of that magic in it as I have never heard another SG sound like his
@@waynefaircloth3423 really cool to know man. I figured it was a boosted 2203 or something! That pedal is unfortunately insanely expensive these days haha
@@belligerentamateur Last time I saw AJ playing with Cro-Mags, he was using a JCM 800 2203 and a Boss SD-1. I’m not sure what pickups he had in his LP custom though.
I love the g4. I just bought an orange super crush 100 and it’s been here 3 days and today I ordered a revv g4 today. I heard it and fell in love with how it chugs and sounds chunky. I love ur channel man. I found u like a year ago n said how I liked ur channel and how comprehensive it was and how u needed more subs and just rediscovered u and subbed. Keep doing ur thing man. Love the beating u put everything u test through
I also bought the super crush 100 recently hows it been for you so far? And do you play on the clean channel or dirty channel with minimal gain?
I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and like that the sound is un-altered and enjoy both amps and pedals. That deadwell is killer too. Subscribed
I can definitely confirm everything you said in this vid. I have a G120, and the other guitarist in our band uses both a G3 and G4 on his board into a clean tube amp so we've definitely played with comparing them. Your mini conclusion about the G4 being more recto'y and the G3 being more 5150'y is 100% correct. I absolutely gravitate to my purple channel on the G120, and don't often use the red as I prefer 5150 sounds. I will say on the real amp the bass difference is much less than between the pedals. It's still there, but it's not as drastic.
Interesting! I figured that would be the case since they are based off of the actual amps themselves.
The G4 ABSOLUTELY SLAYS I've got one coming in a couple days.
Congrats!
I have had the G3 for 2 years...Amazing tone for a pedal...With lots of clarity in the notes...
Agreed!
I kinda thought the g4 sounded like a uberchal, but ya man I traded these pedals to Jason for the revv generator 100 I got off him. Lol! He said u were doing a vid on em, I was stoked. lol! Awesome vid bro
Also recommend trying the orange pedal baby. The power stage is awesome, but the the pedal baby is class A/B which sounds more tube like. So when running pre amp pedals into it, it honestly sounds like a real tube amp. I’d be happy to let ya borrow it if you wanna try it
If u try a boost again, try a Ibanez ts9, with the level not dimed. That’s how I ran it, and it sounded great!
For sure man, dunno how much I'll run these back as I have too many amps to get to, but I figured lowering out put of the drive would prbably be the key
Revv G3 is bad ass! Once Kyle told me to play it thru the fx loop instead of the input on my 5150iii-Sounded killer! Thanks for the Info Kyle.
Another awesome video!! Keep kickin Ass on RUclips dude
MY guy
These channels sound absolutely killer in the Helix. I liked them so much I ordered the new generator. Hopefully you can demo that one soon. Great video!
To put that EQ section on the Duncan Powerstage was very clever, congrats to the guys who thought about that
Thanks. Just ordered the G4. Can't wait to rock with it.
wtf?! I like it even better when you plug the G4 in to the SD Powerstage.
😍😍😍
Weird right? That powerstage sounds great
Reminds me a lot of the amps which is why I have never been a big fan of the Revv amps. Thanks for doing this Kyle. For something warmer and more amp like, grab the Bogner Burnley.
Boy those pedals look really familiar! lol! Glad they went to a good home
To me the G3 sounds better, it's less scooped than the G4.
Nice review.
I just ordered both after watching this. Thanks.
Huge thanks for doing this comparison the way you approached it spot on.....I know which one to get now. CHEERS!!!
Scotland salutes you Sir!
love your honesty in your videos ! really helps when deciding on gear
Never truly know until you play it yourself. 🤘🏼💀
The g3 sounds better too me. That’s why I bought it. Then sold it. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
06:41 - It's Alive! Love the cab in the room sound. I mean, I get all the IR hype for mixing purposes, but nothing compares to that room vibe, when you're simply playing by yourself, left for some tone appreciations.
very informative and great playing skills.
I can not decide on these 2 pedals, so I will get both and stack them.
You nailed it man, nice work.
Thank you!
Leeway AND LOA riffs????
Perfect way to wake up today.
YEAH BABY
7:45 ok hittin some Tooly Diezely tones there
I have a G4 running through an Orange Crush 20 on clean lmmfao! It sounds so brutal! At first it was totally unexpected. I still can't believe how good it sounds. These pedals are something special man. Somebody definitely knew what they were doing designing these lol. 🤘🏼💀🎸
I have an orange micro dark terror, if I run the g3 on high gain it’s a rock pedal at best, no where near enough saturation to be considered a distortion pedal imo. Massively disappointed I’ve had it 3 days 😢
Really enjoy this review! I went ahead and bought the g3.
I agree that Amps sound best, but after 30+ years of lugging around a head and 4x12, the tech is now there to roll into a gig with 2 hands instead of it taking 2 guys to carry it all lol.
For sure, these pedals are shockingly close to the amps they're modeled after!
Great video Kyle thanks 🤘🍻
Hi Kyle 🤘 heard a lot of good review on these pedals 🤘
I run them both.
I owns the purple one since that came out on the market and really sounded good but get tired after while and when back to my old setups (Maxon od808 trough dirty channel) but thanks anyway 👍 good job
Be interesting to see how it stacks up with the jayo Dark flame $80 good video
I'm takin the red pill, both sound good
I'd probably open up the volume on the pedals more and lower the Powerstage 170 volume. I use them into my Two Notes CAB M with the volumes around 1:00 or so. Opens up the sound quite a bit and sounds much better.
The G3 is my go to for viscious crunchy or cannibalistic clean metal
I had the Victory Kraken preamp pedal (I sold it, but shouldn't have...I'll get another one soon for my Peavey classic 50) for a while that I used in my 6505+ fx loop and it even cut better than the Peavey in our band mix, can you believe that? lol It has tubes in it and you can plug it in 4 cable method so you can still use your amp channels if you want. I highly recommend it if you never tried one. Channel 1 is more marshally(can have some great dirt clean tones too) and channel 2 is definitely more 5150 oriented.
I've been hearing good things about them for sure, I need to track one down!
Maybe the purple would sit better in a mix on its own. Would probably need to eq more with the red?? I’m so torn between the two. I own the g2 for crunch and low/medium gain stuff. But need something for when it’s time to blow the underpants off
Then the G4 would be best. Paired with the G2 it sounds amazing. Basically, the G2 dials the tone and presence... the G4 blows the windows off.
G3 seems better on its own. A little more processed sound but limited. The G4 covers a super wide range...
When switch goes from red to blue, it seems some frecuencies missing
hi i'm from brazil and i have Revv G3 this pedal it is killer!
Trading my B-52 LS100 Solid State for the G4 today. I’m excited to run this through my Bugera 6262 and hear some better sound! Working my way up to the big boy gear. 😂
Sounded good overall. I have the G4 and have always found it to have too much bass. The G3 seems like it would suit me better. With that said, get the KSR Ceres. It puts everything else to shame IMO.
I have the Ceres, and I have to Agree. As nice as these are, the Ceres is unreal.
@blackorbit416 don't by clones of good companies. You're literally hurting them by doing that.
I'll probably get the purple since you it sounds like peavy. I really want a tone good for both rythme and lead.
Rise And Fall!
But that doesn't make it funny
I had the g3. Sounded better coming from a tube power amp. Sounds more full. Nice video.
It sounded surprisingly good to me through the duncan but yeah, tubes will usually always sound more full
I use the Purple in front of my Friedman runt 50 with the Gtid slammer boost on it. Sounds pretty damn good. Using it in front takes out a lot of that harshness. Great pedals and Demo. 👍🤘
I should try that! May cure the weird high end issue! Thanks for the tip!
Yeah, I prefer the G Series pedals in front of a clean tube amp. I use mine in front of a Morgan SW50.
Agression on the G3 fer me 🤘🏻😜
def could see myself grinding on that purple one
It's fun man. I like where the highs are better on the red pedal though
Ahhh LOA...nice throwback.
River Runs Red is a masterpiece
@@belligerentamateur Top 5, all time. Saw them 5 times on that tour!
Unfair test, leeway sounds fire via any device lmao
Agreed
Nice demo as always! i own the G4 an i love it! can you tell me what riff is at 19:00?
Oh man, if you liked these pedals you’re gonna love the ISP Theta preamp!
Trying to find one!
@@belligerentamateur I’ll sell you mine, I already have the DSP version and Combo. I’ll be keeping the Theta X since I can just send to FOH and it sounds so sick!
@@Depurity let me know a price!
I Love my REVV G3 😈😈😈
Which is better for pantera?
Prefer the G3 and the crunch from a G2 is not to be overlooked.
Brother Kyle, you need their new crazy amp!!
Just wait, my friend......just wait
Sh&t now Im thinkin I should go with the Red, for the beefy low end.
Hi,
I'm trying to get a descent tone with Revv g3 using Boss Katana 50mk2.
I'm using les paul studio, 1 spot cs7 (new), boss ns (new), korg tuner (new). Dialed to clean channel but tones from the amp are muffled...any clue, please?
Those Revv pedals sound great! I'm really curious about the Victory Kraken V4 and if it stands up to preamp pedals such as the G3 and the Ceres.
Ceres and Balaguer Fission Drive are my next preamp pedal demos, but I'll try to find that one as well!
@@belligerentamateur I've never heard of the Fission drive. This will be fun!
You just cost me $200+ of malevolent red... THANKS!
Oops!
Didn’t dig the G3 when I had one. It was by no means bad, but I thought it sounded thin / sterile / uninspiring. Plus it didn’t like being boosted. It’s probably better suited for low tuned stuff.
I could see that as well, definitely needs a little more low end content for me
@@belligerentamateur i'd kind of rather use a more wild, "pedal sounding" distortion pedal than one that sounds like a sterile amp. The MXR 5150 is pretty fun, but I preferred through a good clean channel (like the shiva) than through the fx return. Otherwise i'd just use a high gain amp.
I'm currently looking between the G3 and the EVH 5150 over with gate, I can't decide lol
You can't lose with either
First of all, I love your channel. Have you tried out the AMT preamp pedals? They do preamp modeling pedals, including ones with tubes in them- they're called "bricks". Really good stuff. Check them out.
I haven't, man but they were all the rage in preamp pedals 6-8 years ago. Have they come up with anything new since the 2 series?
Just the fore mentioned bricks. They sound like something up your alley; especially the Engl inspired one
Yo, Kyle. Been meaning to ask you: What's your favorite boost for the blue channel on your EVH's? I'm struggling with my LBX II's blue channel. It doesn't need tightening up, but it does need some more gain and aggression to the pick attack.
The Deadweald Duality DX is my new go to for everything!! Other than that, the Mxr m77 Badass is always a good choice
@@belligerentamateur Cheers!
Thumbs up bro and speaking of solid state amps I was wondering if you ever tried the Fender MH500 ( Fender Metal Head ). 500 watts of solid state brutality? Can you maybe demo one if you can find it.
Never tried that one! But I'd be down to try it out.
@@belligerentamateur hell yeah and their is not a single good video/demo of that amp anywhere on youtube so you would be the first to expose it for what it's really made of.
my Boss metalzone crushed the g3 I just bough big time so it will be for sale. even tweeking both pedals for a good while with my cousin playing amazing riffs with my other cousin there listening. I got a perfect just perfect beefy smooth and tight distortion that just gives you eargasm they both felt the same way. the metalzone is just the best and soooo versatile too. to bad but the revv is crap and when I have time it's getting sold. just trying to help. I had the metalzone way back when but got into tube amps and mods but now I want both so the metalzone is back. glad they didnt triple in price lol they certainly could have because they are the best because the 6 buttons that drastictly changes the type of dist you get and that just amazing. smooth round gritty perfect distortion at least 5 types too boot. Why waste 4 times the money what used metalzone are cheap and 10 times better.
Awesome me want!!!!!
Do you think this kind of set up is really better for play at low volume than a big tube amps?
Depends on the amp! Probably better than most two bands, but a lot of the newer modern two bands have a really nice sweep on the volume so you can get good bedroom tones. Depends on what you're working with my man
HOW would these sound.........on a Solid State amp. Randall or Peavey??
You'd have to try to know, dude!
@@belligerentamateur i got the red one in my cart......awaiting my card. I prefer a scoop mid & more lows over full mids & lack of lows. Red one just seems to have a bigger sound while the blue is more in your face yet not as big sounding. Both good but Like the red a tad better.
so ......the Blue one lacks bass & the red one lacks Mids, BASICALLY
UgHgggggg^ .......... ennie meenie miney mo ......... when Ola did the blue one, purple as they say ......it sounded INCREDIBLE............. but on here Im really leaning to the Republican side . Big & juicy
I think the dude from chamber uses a g3
In a nutshell: 11:47
Both of these pedals are horrible in my opinion. No bottom end at all and very noisy. Always going back to my Mt2 😅
Best way I can describe it is "dry"
Bruhhhh just buy a Kraken pedal and be done with the searching.
OH I'm not searching for anything! Just demoing them for the fine people of the internet
@@belligerentamateur Few of us are really searching but all too often something comes along and never leaves your house.
Adding presense from the amp, doesnt help a potential buyer though. the only real adjustments should be on the pedals.
Don't agree, most people are putting these through very similar power amps.
@@belligerentamateur Right...... but tweeking the amp is irrelevant because half of us dont have presense on our amps, half do but.just sayin........ tweeking the amp is a wase when it comes to demo''ing the pedal. imo. so when anything happens to the amp dials, we mentally have to be like ......... ok thats kinda cheating, even though iots not cheating but you know, like........ sorta because the point is to demo The [Pedal primarily, but granted you didnt cal;l it a demo but still. Not insulting you, just saying tweeking the actual amp is pointless & takes away from just how good you can make the pedal sound using just the controls on the pedal.
