Revv G2
Preamp/Overdrive/Distortion Pedal

An instant modern classic
Introducing the hugely versatile 'G2' from Canadian Amplifier/Pedal Wizards 'Revv'. Revv's 'G2' has collected hordes of fans throughout the Rock and Metal community, and for good reason too. Whilst the ‘G3’ and ‘G4’ are ferocious high-gain beasts, the G2 is a much more subtle affair. Based on the green channel from Revv’s ‘Generator’ amplifiers, this eye-catching little powerhouse has all the tone and power to match it’s vibrant housing.
The Revv G2 delivers a ‘crunch’ type tone that is responsive to the dynamics in your playing style and also your guitars volume knob, in much the same way as a valve amplifier. The G2 features a sensitive 3-band EQ, 3 separate drive modes, so dependent on the amplifier you’re running through, the Revv G2 can be adjusted dependent on the amplifiers characteristics.
The G2 is so much more than a light overdrive/‘crunch’ however, at lower settings, the G2 has a clear, boost-like tonality that can be put to use to give life to your clean tones, and when running through a high-gain amplifier, it will tighten your sound and add some serious saturation to your tone.
Broadest Gain and EQ of the Revv 'G' Series

one of the most versatile overdrive pedals available todayThe G2 has the broadest gain and 3-band EQ in Revv’s G series, which is a serious statement in itself, the G2 really is one of the most versatile overdrive pedals on the market available today. Choose to run it through your amplifiers effects loop and use it as a preamplifier, or choose to run it in front of the amplifier on your pedal board.
3 distinctive voices mean there is a lot of scope in tonal variety on offer here, especially once you factor in the incredibly responsive 3-band EQ too. All this is wrapped up inside a solid, road-worthy chassis with a simple, easy-to-use front panel with large, solid knobs to control the G2.
The G2, alongside it’s siblings, the G3 & G4, has been turning heads in the guitar community since it’s inception, it’s time to get onboard and find out why.
Choose from 3 Distinct and Unique Voicings

True VersatilityThe G2 features 3 main voices, all suited to different applications. Choose from, ‘Off’, ‘Blue’, and ‘Red’. With ‘Blue’ selected, you’ll tap into a touch-responsive overdrive and amp-like breakup, a sound popular with Nashville guitarists. With the ‘Red’ mode selected, you’ll be treated to fat, amp-like light-gain that’s ideal for classic rock crunch and country. In the ‘Off’ position, the G2 delivers a full-range boost and a wide gain range, this is best suited for when your valve-amp needs that little extra push.
