Pretty pumped for my purchase! I preordered a long time ago! Small ask; a video showing how to hook this up with Bluamp1 Iridium edition, that is already in 4 cable with Boss MS3! 👍
Wow! OK - consider this added to our list! :)
Just got one. Let’s see what it can do!
Nice! That is great to hear! Let us know how you get on!
I have one of these and it’s really flexible with the various ways you can use it. I think Two Notes products in general are great. However, although there’s instructions in the user guide online on setting defaults regarding boost and the three channels, only the individual who wrote instructions would be able to follow them. Another point is that some people are colour blind so tube colour will change etc, does not help. You should make a clear video on setting up defaults like boost etc. That would be extremely useful.
Thanks for getting in touch and we're so pleased to hear you are enjoying ReVolt. Similarly, thanks for the feedback. If you have any specific questions concerning the setup menus, please let us know - we are always happy to help!
this really seems to be the perfect tube preamp for guitar. I really like how the treble booster tightens up the distortion, which is essential for metal styles.....you don't want a shrieking or nasal sounding tone, but not a muddy one either that turn your chugs into wool. Also the amount of gain seems very generous....a lot of tube preamps seem to be stingy with gain, with the exception of Peavey and their Ultra gain. And the fact that you can control cabs and effect setups in your computer software really make this an innovative product....nowadays is not enough to design guitar preamps with tubes in them, although tubes will always sound and respond better....the sustain is longer, the harmonics jump out of the strings, the intervals melt together in harmony.....a minor third with non tube distortion sounds just like distortion, but with tubes the minor third seems to come alive. There's no reason why you can't use real tube distortion with excellent cab sims. Well done Two Notes, I want a Revolt preamp too.
Amazing! Thanks so much for the great feedback! :)
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes , and kudos about the versatility too.... it's nice to have Fender, Plexi and Soldano tones all rolled into a single, killer little box. A good player should not be limited to a single genre ;)
@@luigipati3815 That was our thinking exactly! :)
@RossDaviesTwoNotes @RossDaviesTwoNotes while I do see your reply, i have a simple question for you guys, and hope the answer is not going to be a yes sure, our unit plays through ALL amps. I have made my decision in choosing this pedal and your brand and next step "buy it". Amongst other pedals through much of my own research and such. I am sold on purchasing this unit through (Deluxe Guitars) here in Australia, but not much is known unless I take my whole rig and all amps down to try it out. I play through several ENGL heads, combo's and my mainstay as an "amp expander", is my trusty Hughes & Kettner TUBE FACTOR, preamp pedal which is permanently on my board. Even though I have to tweak it by plumbing an eq pedal into it, I wish it had full midi capabilities so I can use CC patches to change different tonal channels like how the REVOLT does. I use a Strymon Riverside gainstacked before the H&K, which is not a bad pedal at all and serves me well, but side by side with the H&K, you can hear the massive difference in the actual tube drive and distortion versus "digital/analog" type drives.! Sorry for long explanation, but my real question is "Would the REVOLT work well with the clean channels of ENGLs higher gain structure type amps such as the POWERBALL 2s and Ironball series amps and others.. etc.? I can tell it would run perfectly through their models, such as the thunder, screamer, Savage, SE, and Sovreign model range, as they are built more for a rock/hard rock purpose and my TUBE FACTOR sits perfectly on the clean channels on these amps as i own them, but the Powerballs and Ironballs, including other amps like FORTIN, Bogner, DIEZEL are built for that ultra gainy structure. Put a preamp pedal into any of these high-gain amps and it literally turns to sh*t.! Like I said I love my TUBE FACTOR pedal, but I play live and love the BIG SPEAKERS and Amps type of headroom. I have other modellers and IRs in my Fractals, but I love the lotsa gear, lotsa speakers type set-up, and want to upgrade to the REVOLT (for midi channel changing purposes). Thanks for reading and I am sold, but hopefully can get my question answered by you guys. Once again sorry for epic explanation and ask.😑🤘
Hi Rikk, Thanks for getting in touch and a great question. It should work fine with your amps - in terms of connectivity, if front-loading your Amps with ReVolt we would suggest zero-ing the EQs to avoid any unwanted harsh frequencies from feeding a preamp with a preamp. For optimal use, we would suggest either lining ReVolt via the OUT output into your Amp's FX return or configure ReVolt in 4-Cable Mode to add the three ReVolt Channels to your Amp's channels. Let me know if this helps!
You didn't touch on this and the manual doe snot mentioned it either, but it's to my understading that the pedal has no stereo input, the send and return is also not stereo. The pedal seems great but why not make it stereo? Specially if I can connect it directly to an interface for recording. I undersdant that a normal setup with an amp would not be stereo but this product should have a more modern approach.
Thanks for getting in touch - Ross from Two notes here. Yes, the Pedal is Mono - adding Stereo functionality would have ultimately compromised the 4-cable integration which a lot of users are taking advantage of. Please let me know if there is anything else I can clarify for you today!
Can you do a more in-depth video with the Revolt in combination with the CAB M+? The manual says to use the CAB into the effects loop of the Revolt, but I have never seen a single video on this being done. And then what should the settings be on the CAB M+? Should the preamp and power amp be off?
Thanks for getting in touch - Ross from Two notes here! In terms of optimal audio connections between C.A.B. M+ and ReVolt Guitar, place C.A.B. M+ in the FX loop of ReVolt. For any spacial FX (including Reverb and Delay) please place these after C.A.B. M+. By configuring your connectivity in this manner, you ensure that your special FX affect your total signal without colouration of the FX-processed signal by C.A.B. M+’s Poweramp emulation and Post FX suite. For integration of Drive, Fuzz and Distortion Pedals, we recommend placing these between your instrument and the instrument input of ReVolt. You can also place effects in-between ReVolt’s FX Send and C.A.B. M+’s input, just like you would do in a traditional amplifier rig (a great example being Modulation FX). Finally, once the FX loop on ReVolt has been closed, connect the XLR DI Output of ReVolt to a PA, Mixer of Interface to hear your end-to-end signal complete with the analog preamp emulation of ReVolt and the DSP Powered Cabinet, Poweramp and Post FX emulation of C.A.B. M+. In this situation, please keep C.A.B. M+'s poweramp on and the Preamp emulation off. Let me know if this helps and if there is anything else I can clarify, please dont hesitate to reach out!
i am bit of confused....so can i assign a cab sim from the software to the cab out of the unit? or the unit comes with fixed cab sim output?
Ross from Two notes here! The Cab Sim on ReVolt is an analogue Cabinet Simulation and cannot be modified. However, we do ship a full license of Wall of Sound with every purchase - perfect for DAW/Recording scenarios where you need to further refine your tone. In addition, ReVolt pairs perfectly with a C.A.B. M+ for the ideal Analog/digital setup including our class-leading DynIR technology! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes hey Ross, I have a quick question on that. Looking at getting the revolt to record DI through my interface. I’d like extra cab sims so I could just buy specific DynaIR bundles from you guys and bypass the Cab M right? Is there anything else needed to make that setup work?
@@benjaminck6768 Thanks for getting in touch. That is a perfect use case scenario. Simply disable the Cab Sim on the ReVolt, line into your interface and load our Wall of Sound plugin in your DAW (which is included as a free download with your purchase, along with 10 DynIRs) to monitor / mix with our class leading DynIR technology. Alternatively, you could hook up both the 1/4-inch and XLR outputs, leave the analog Cab Sim on and record both outputs simultaneously; the 1/4-inch output never has the Cab Sim applied so you can monitor with your XLR output and record a "dry" signal with the 1/4-inch for processing later! Let us know if this helps! :)
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes perfect explanation thank you so much, I’ll be putting in my order soon!
@@benjaminck6768 Amazing! If there is anything else I can help to clarify, please dont hesitate to let me know!
Sorry TwoNotes, but a "Deep Dive" cannot be a four and a half minutes clip, where you don't actually hear any sound correctly.
You are missing out the other videos they have uploaded.
With enough weight, one can go pretty deep in four and a half minutes.
Ross from Two notes here. So sorry to hear you are not happy with this, however have you checked out the ReVolt: In Session Videos on our channel? ruclips.net/p/PLuHinmQXYh2E-JuNuIwNGHP7UqKXSEWnZ
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes thank you
리볼트와 캡앰플러스를 동시에 사용하고 딜레이 리버브를 사용할때의 최선의 시그널 방법에 대해 알려주세요~
Please let me know the best signal method when using Revolt and CapAmplus at the same time and using Delay Reverb
Good morning - thanks so much for getting in touch. In this instance we would suggest connecting the C.A.B. M+ to the 1/4-inch OUT output and setting the input level switch to 0dB. You can then add your Reverb / Delay to the FX loop of ReVolt. Please let me know if this helps!
@RossDaviesTwoNotes good morning- i'm not good at english sorry T-T revolt send>> reverb +delay >>revolt return and revolt out >>cabm right??
@@user-zm9yr2nt8h No worries at all - you are correct! :)
Do you have to manually reset the knobs for each amp If you switch between? It looks like you would, which would be a little bit impractical for live use.
Thanks for getting in touch. The only knobs that are shared between channels are the 3-band EQ on the British Crunch and Modern Lead Channels - we have found that you dont really need to tweak these too much to get a great synergy of tones. The only other shared control is the Boost level which again we have specified to work well across all channels at one setting. Let us know if there is anything else we can help clarify for you!
Any recommendations on what power supplies can be used with it? Would a Truetone cs12 work?
Thanks for reaching out! Idle, the pedal draws between 510 and 530mA depending on the channel. This goes up 10-15mA when playing.That is why we decided to go 600mA on the silkscreen. However, power brick outputs are often slightly more capable than what they are advertised for and most multi-output bricks with a 12VDC / 500mA tap will power the ReVolt no problem, as they have a little bit of headroom. Let us know if this helps!
As a Torpedo Cab M owner, I wanted to know if it was possible to assign a specific cabinet for each channel and if there is a particular interaction between the two devices. Thanks.
Ross from Two notes here. Thanks for reaching out. As C.A.B. M+ doesn't feature MIDI connectivity, this configuration would not be possible. However for FOH applications, a fixed cab setup is preferable by the associated engineers. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes thanx Ross, a little bit disappointed but ok.
The ReVolt is defined both amp simulation and preamp but does it have a power amp simulation like the CabM or is the CabM needed to obtain this tonal expansion?
@@FaberGT86 Thanks for getting back to me. With the analogue Cab Sim switch engaged, ReVolt models your end to end amp tone; if you want more options poweramp-wise, a C.A.B. M+ is the best solution for this. However, we will say this: we are always working on exciting developments here at Two notes HQ so keep posted across 2023 for some amazing releases we have in store!
PS. will you make a tutorial about how to setup the Revolt to switch cab setups and reverbs when one switches channels? This is needed particularly when one is videoing a performance in a home studio, for example over a backing track.
sure thing! However we have a great user guide on our site which details how to setup all MIDI connectivity on the ReVolt! Let us know if you have any specific questions!
@@RossDaviesTwoNotes , yeah, I already investigated the manual of the Two Notes Le Lead preamp, and I could not get the setup to work....I know everything about music theory and can read music in my sleep, but when it comes to tech, I am completely retarded :). Would be nice to see exactly, step by step, how to setup Revolt with Wall Of Sound software to get the switching presets working....a lot of us guitarists don't really know much about MIDI setups....many of us don't like obscure MIDI jargon, and know even less about it. We like knobs that we turn to change sounds,and footswitches :) I think that WOS is a killer feature of the Revolt preamp. Thank you and keep the great products coming ;)
@@luigipati3815 Noted and understood! Consider it added to our agenda! :)
actually, you don't have to, I found out it was because of my Edirol usb interface, its MIDI doesn't work on my Ipad. I tried again my Le Lead with an Irig Pro IO and guess what, the midi all worked great
@@luigipati3815 Amazing news! We are so happy to hear this is all working out well for you!
How does the midi work when the midi jack isn't a 5 pin din?
Because the MIDI standard only uses 3 pins. :)
Thanks for getting in touch. There is also a 1/8-inch to MIDI breakout cable included in the box! Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
Apart from the - me not really convincing clean channel - I did not hear a lot of tones from the Crunch and Lead channel, due to the constant speaking over. The former Twonotes pedals series sounded rather disappointing to me, some fake tube tones, but hardly really professional tube amp or tube preamp pedal alternatives. Next thing is, I do not like typical Fender clean tones as little as Rectifier high gain tones and in reality the amp world is a lot bigger than three 08/15 tones alone.
Also simulating three different amp channels with a single real tube authentically is almost impossible without any additional op-amps.
A so called in-depth dive for me sounds different!
Bad presentation without any representative, audible sound examples!
If I then also consider, that the Twonotes/WOS power amp simulations do not really sound very convincing, especially not the much too dark and dull sounding KT88 ones, but also not the onther ones, I hardly believe, that a professional setup can be created with this plugin, which seriously can compete with a professional all tube amp.
Revolt is not even cheap, for this price you get complete single or dual channel tube amps too meanwhile! Or other tube preamp pedals.
Thanks for reaching out! This video is meant to serve as an overview of the key features. With the resultant tone being the most vital, we have secured 8 tone example videos which can be viewed in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLuHinmQXYh2E-JuNuIwNGHP7UqKXSEWnZ
