Virtual Cabinet Switch - This 6 position selector switch will switch through the first 6 positions of the Two notes virtual cabinet library saved to your D20. You can change the virtual cabinets and all of their options saved to each position by using Two notes Remote software, connected via USB on the rear of the amplifier.
The mains input is a 2 part assembly on the D20 , not only will it allow you to plug the amplifier power cable into it, the main fuse is also a part of the assembly.

Balanced Output XLR and Ground Lift - The balanced output XLR jack is a direct output from Two notes Torpedo Embedded. By connecting this output to front of house or an audio interface you can capture D20’s tone with no need for a cabinet or microphone! The ground lift switch will defeat the ground on the D20 should you encounter ground noise from other equipment you have connected.

The amplifier can support 4, 8 and 16 ohm cabinets. If you want to use a 4 ohm cabinet, set the D20 to 4 ohms by making sure the switch is “out.”...
Tubes & Bias Power Tubes - The Revv D20 has been designed to use 6V6GT power tubes in the power section, and it is recommended that Revv 6V6GT power tubes be used whenever replacement is necessary for optimal per- formance.
Make sure the D20 is connected to a speaker or the reactive load switch is set to internal load. Let the amplifier warm up for a minute then turn on the standby switch.
Control Change - For very specific uses Control Change signals may be appropriate. We recommend starting with PC signals (virtual cabinet preset recall) for the D20 then only moving on to CC signals for very spe- cific and advanced situations.
In order to run the output of the D20 to an audio interface, connect the D20 to the audio interface with an XLR cable. Set the amplifier up the way you intend to play, (EQ, volume) and then adjust the output of the bal- anced out with the small trimmer on the front of the amplifier.
The D20 can be connected to Two notes Remote software in order to manipulate all available settings and change the presets found on the front knob of the amplifier. This is via the USB port. You can find the Remote Software for the D20 here: https://www.two-notes.com/downloads...
Reactive Load The D20 comes with a built in reactive load to allow you to play without the need for a speaker cabinet. On the rear of the amplifier there is an internal load/speaker switch to switch between the speaker cabinet and the reactive load.
