The Sledgehammer of High Gain.
The Revv G4 V2 is a 100% analog distortion and preamp pedal meticulously voiced after the flagship "Red Channel" of the Revv Generator 120 MK3. While its predecessor was known for its massive, chewy low-end, the G4 V2 takes that foundation and adds a level of clarity and midrange "cut" that was previously reserved for boutique tube amplifiers. It is an organic, "amp-in-a-box" solution designed for players who want a thick, sustaining distortion that feels alive under the fingers.
Thick Saturation and Modern Flexibility
The G4 V2 excels at providing a "wall of sound" that remains articulate even at extreme gain levels. It features a fat, low-mid focus that gives your riffs a percussive weight, making it the perfect choice for modern rock rhythm, heavy blues-rock, and liquid, sustaining solos. This new V2 circuit revision introduces a more refined midrange and increased pick attack response, ensuring that your notes don't get lost in the mix—even when using the most aggressive "scooped" settings.
Three Voices of Aggression
Like its amplifier counterpart, the G4 V2 features a 3-position Aggression switch that fundamentally changes the pedal's character.
-
Off (Center): Excels as a "cranked amp" old-school overdrive with a spongy, vintage feel.
-
Blue (Down): Delivers a thick, punchy rhythm tone with a balanced frequency response.
-
Red (Up): Provides maximum saturation, compression, and sustain—a "go-to" for high-gain leads and modern metal chugs. Whether you are running it into a clean amp, using it as a standalone preamp in an effects loop, or pairing it with a digital modeler, the G4 V2 delivers no-compromise boutique tone.
