All else being equal this will result in a more broken up oldschool sound, compared against letting the preamp take care of much of the gain in the higher headroom 40w mode. Revv Owner’s Manual - 9...

Power Tubes Our lower wattage amplifiers are designed with 6V6 tubes for the best tonal & feel performance at a wide range of volumes.

MIDI Note: Combos do not include MIDI. Versatile & optional MIDI control helps Revv amps seamlessly integrate into any rig. The amplifier will store up to 128 programs for program change commands as well as accept Continuous Controller (CC) commands to control functions directly.

External equipment just becomes more beneficial when integrating your Revv with additional pieces of a rig such as effects units. OMNI Mode OMNI mode off will allow the amplifier to be controlled via a designated channel (1-16), &...
As you press the switch you will notice the other LEDs turn on as you increase the MIDI channel number. Once you reach the chan- nel you desire, press the bright switch to save it to memory. Revv Owner’s Manual - 25...

The footswitch is connected to the rear of the amplifier with a shielded Ethernet cable & very rigid connectors. The amplifier & footswitch will work with any Ethernet cable should you be in a pinch, but the Revv cable is always recommended for best performance.
Note: Bright, Fat, & Contour functions cannot be changed via the footswitch as they are considered to be an extension of the EQ. They can be saved to a bank when in Preset mode however. Revv Owner’s Manual - 31...
