Cabinet Lighting; Foot Switch Connection; Midi Connections; Impedance & Speaker Jack - REVV Generator 100P MK3 Owner's Manual

Note: The reverb switch is also used to toggle the FX
Loop in and out of the signal path when held down for 2
seconds. This method is used to save the FX Loop state
to the "preset mode" of a bank on the foot controller, or
quick toggle from the front of the amp front panel.

CABINET LIGHTING

The cabinet lighting jack on the rear of the amplifier
is used to connect the amp to Revv speaker cabinets.
Because the Revv badge on our cabinets lights up, you
can illuminate the cab badge with this jack.
Simply use the 4 pin Din cable provided with all Revv
cabinets and connect the amplifier to the cab lighting
connector on the cabinet.

FOOT SWITCH CONNECTION

This connection both powers your footswitch & allows
it to control your Revv. Should the provided footswitch
cable fail, any 5 PIN DIN cable can be used.
Note: This cable sends important data between the
amplifier and the footswitch. If a lesser quality 5 PIN
DIN cable is used, incorrect or erratic behavior could
occur. A high quality cable is recommended, which can
be provided by Revv should you need a replacement.

MIDI CONNECTIONS

The MIDI IN connection is for external equipment
connections when your rig necessitates control of your
Revv with third-party gear.
The MIDI through jack allows for the connection of
additional MIDI devices in your signal chain in addition
to your Revv.
See MIDI Section of this manual for more details.
IMPEDANCE & SPEAKER JACKS
The amplifier must always be connected to a speaker
cabinet or load when it is powered up and set to
have the internal load disengaged. This amplifier can
be used with cabinets that provide a load of 4, 8 &
16 ohms. Because the amplifier provides a number
of speaker jacks with different impedance options, it
can also power 2 cabinets directly from the amplifier.
The speaker jacks must be used correctly for the
impedance to be matched between your amp and the
cabinets being connected.
Most setups are simple, one cabinet plugged into
the amp, select the impedance to that marked on
27
the cabinet & you're ready to go! However, when it
comes to adding more cabinets to the rig, more care
must be taken to prevent damage. Most rigs will not
utilize more than 2 cabinets so we won't go beyond 2
cabinets here.
Some examples:
•
2 - 8 ohm cabinets would be plugged into the the
two 4 ohm speaker jacks (one per 8 ohm cab)
located on the back of the amplifier.
28
•
2 - 16 ohm cabinets would be plugged into the the
two 8 ohm speaker jacks (one per 16 ohm cab)
located on the back of the amplifier.
•
2 - 4 ohm cabinets cannot be run in parallel with
this amplifier. This will cause damage.
Note: No damage will result when running the amplifier
set at a lower impedance (Ex: 4 ohms) into a cabinet
rated at a higher impedance (Ex: 8 Ohms). However the
opposite will cause damage to the output transformer
29
or other components & it is suggested that the amplifier
never be run into a lower load.
Note: Depending on the power tubes used, this amplifier
can supply 180 watts+ of power to the speakers at high
volumes, so it is important to be sure your cabinet can
handle that kind of power, especially when running
KT88/6550 type tubes.
