Powerful, Modern Distortion with Magnificent Clarity,
The 'G3' from Revv

Achieve the REVV 'Purple Channel' on any rig!Introducing the spectacular 'G3' from Canadian Amplifier/Pedal Wizards 'Revv'.
When it comes to pedal-based modern metal distortion, few can stake such a claim to the throne as Revv’s ‘G3’. With 3 selectable voices, or ‘Aggression’, as Revv prefer to call it, the G3 is able to adapt to almost any metal/rock application you’re likely to come across. The G3’s thick distortion is impressive in it’s valve-amp like tones, offering ample girth and presence dependent on how the EQ is applied.
Unlike many other distortion pedals around, the G3 is far from a one-trick pony, it can handle anything. Single notes pack a serious punch, whilst chords sound distinct and precise in their definition. The real jewel in the G3’s crown is its versatility and adaptability, place the G3 in front of your amp, in the effects loop, straight into a cabinet modeller, or before a modelling processor.
In short, the G3 from Revv is the modern distortion you’ve been searching for.
Based on the 'Purple' Channel from the Revv 'Generator'

‘Smart Filtering’ technologyThe G3 is based on the flagship ‘Generator’ Amplifier’s ‘Purple’ channel. It’s immediately noticeable just how tight and focused the G3 stays at any volume, and with any EQ settings dialled in. This is due to the ‘Smart Filtering’ technology inside, which removes any muddy or unpleasant frequencies, whilst keeping your core tone intact.
Revv went through 16 revisions of the G3 before finally settling on the finished model. It’s this attention to detail which has paid dividends in the end, the G3’s attack and ‘bloom’ of the notes has lead to a pedal-based distortion which behaves and truly feels like an amp-based distortion.
Choose from 3 Voicing Options

clear, tight, modern distortionThe G3’s secret weapon is the ‘Aggression’ toggle, whereby 3 different voicings are offered. In the ‘Blue’ position, the G3’s distortion opens up to a more, ‘throaty’, low end roar. A very distinct and heavy distortion, not for the faint hearted, although it must be stressed that the presence and clarity remains clear.
Next up is the ‘Red’ position, this position offers a tantalisingly intense modern metal distortion, heavy, thick but never suffering from the ‘fizz’ that plagues so many high-gain distortions, this is clear, tight and remains so even when playing chords.
In the off position, this is more suited to rhythm playing rather than leads, perfect for those palm muted sections with magnificent response and attack.
