Description

The REVV Amplification G3 is a high gain distortion pedal designed to drop a full modern amp channel straight onto a pedalboard. Built as an all analogue “amp in a box”, it recreates the Purple channel from Revv’s Generator 120 MK3 amplifier, a sound known for its tight response, strong mid focus and clarity under serious gain. It is designed to work confidently into clean amp channels, FX returns and power amps, or alongside modellers in hybrid rigs, giving players a consistent, controllable high gain voice in almost any setup.

The sound is razor tight, aggressive and articulate, with a clear attack that keeps chords defined and single notes easy to follow, even at extreme gain levels or very low tunings. The REVV Amplification G3 delivers everything from dry, punchy crunch tones to saturated modern metal distortion, without losing note separation. Palm muted riffs stay percussive and focused, while sustained notes bloom naturally rather than collapsing into fizz. The updated V2 circuit adds a thicker low end and more available gain, giving extra weight and sustain while preserving the Purple channel’s trademark clarity and mix ready character. This is a distortion that does not need an extra overdrive in front to stay tight, even when tuning down.

Under the fingers, the REVV Amplification G3 feels fast and responsive, reacting closely to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. The balance between tightness and low end sag has been carefully refined so the pedal feels more like a real amp channel than a typical distortion box. Chugs hit with authority, lead lines feel fluid and forgiving, and the pedal remains controlled rather than stiff, encouraging confident playing across rhythm and lead styles.

Control is straightforward but powerful. Gain sets saturation from crunchy aggression to full modern distortion, while Volume provides ample output for driving an amp or return. A full three band EQ allows precise shaping of bass weight, midrange cut or presence, and treble bite, making it easy to match different guitars, pickups and amplifiers. The EQ has enough range to tighten things up for dense mixes or thicken the sound for single guitar setups without becoming awkward or unpredictable.

A key part of the REVV Amplification G3’s flexibility is its three Aggression voices, selectable via the centre toggle switch. With Aggression disengaged, the pedal delivers a drier, stringy response that works well for lower tunings, articulate riffing and touch sensitive mid gain tones. The Blue setting adds saturation and compression, sitting in a sweet spot that suits many players for modern rhythm work. Red provides the most gain and thickness, making legato leads smoother and heavier rhythms easier to dial in, especially when the main Gain control is backed off slightly.

At its core, the REVV Amplification G3 uses a fully analogue circuit derived directly from Revv’s flagship amplifier design. It is voiced as a preamp rather than a generic distortion, with careful attention paid to how notes attack, sustain and decay. The V2 revision reflects years of refinement, improving low end response and overall feel while keeping the fast, defined attack that made the original REVV Amplification G3 a benchmark for high gain pedals.

The REVV Amplification G3 is housed in a compact all metal enclosure designed to handle regular gigging and studio use. It feels solid underfoot, with a dependable footswitch and hardware that stands up to repeated use. The finish and layout are practical rather than flashy, clearly reflecting its purpose as a serious tool for working musicians.

The graphics are clean and functional, with clearly labelled controls that are easy to read on a crowded pedalboard. The design fits naturally alongside other modern pedals without distracting from the rest of a rig, and settings can be adjusted quickly without guesswork.

A clear LED indicator shows when the pedal is active, providing immediate visual feedback on dark stages or in rehearsal spaces. The brightness is easy to see without being distracting, making it simple to confirm the pedal’s status at a glance.

The bypass circuit is designed to preserve the integrity of the original signal when the pedal is switched off. When disengaged, the REVV Amplification G3 does not dull high end or alter the feel of the guitar and amp, ensuring that it integrates cleanly into complex signal chains.

Top mounted input and output jacks, along with a top mounted DC input, make pedalboard layout simple and tidy. The REVV Amplification G3 runs from a standard isolated 9V centre negative power supply, drawing a modest 14mA, making it easy to power from most professional pedalboard supplies without fuss.

For peace of mind, Revv Amplification offers a one year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship when purchased through authorised dealers. Registration within 30 days ensures support should any issues arise, reflecting the company’s confidence in the pedal’s long term reliability.

In summary, the REVV Amplification G3 is a focused, no nonsense high gain distortion pedal that delivers authentic amp style tone, feel and control in a compact format. With its tight low end, clear note definition, flexible EQ and selectable aggression voices, it suits everything from classic high gain rock to modern metal and extreme downtuning. For players who want a reliable, professional sounding high gain channel that works across a wide range of rigs, the G3 remains a standout choice from Revv Amplification.
