REVV G3 & G4! - The Ultimate High Gain Pedals!

[@Yo_DJ_Llama]

I bought the G3 awhile back and I love it so much. It sounds like a great tube amp and just sounds mean. If you turn the gain down it gives a good bit of dirt as well. Great video as always! Keep it up DBG!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

I've wanted to get my hands on these REVV pedals for a while, and they did not disappoint! If you play with a lot of gain, I definitely recommend checking these out!

[@andyspark5192]

I searched your video history for "Plasma Pedal" There was no match. Also no match for "Ventris-Dual-Reverb" Why ?

[@Yo_DJ_Llama]

Love my G3! You should review more pedals. Check out Donner pedals. They're cheap but awesome! Cheers, Darrell! Thanks for the great channel!

[@pepitopruebatodo7976]

Greetings from Mexico, I've been binge watching your channel this whole week and started to consider going back to play guitar. It's been 8 years and I haven't play since I started college. I'm considering getting a Fender Deluxe Nashville, but haven't seen you review those pickups and I'm wondering if it would be a good fit for me (it would be my first electric guitar, but played acoustic for 3 years). Anyways, love your channel.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Hi! Arethese the models that have Fender noiseless Pickups? I've played on one before and it was very good!

[@shantmanoukian2430]

Which would you recommend I’m looking for a distortion pedal and I can’t decide between the g4, Friedman be od, and Jhs at plus?

[@greekosdarkness]

I can't focus on the pedal tone with how amazing your guitar looks. Daaaamn!

[@lukebierman6419]

You should try a versatility test to see which of your guitars can handle to most styles of music and playing. Love your videos, keep up the great work!👍

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Great idea! I'll add it to my list :)

[@alessandroworsham8892]

Dude your solos are always amazing. I always slow the video down and tab out my favorite parts cus theyre so damn tasty!

[@MartinCliffe]

Every demo I've heard of the G4 makes it seem it has a fizzy top end that would probably help cut in a busy mix, but heard on its own it's quite harsh. Maybe with a dark guitar and amp. The G3 seems generally more versatile IMO.

[@joker71172]

I agree, just got the g3.

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

G3 seems muffled imo.

[@nayaleezy]

the g3 is the g4 with an eq filter?

[@ShaneStoneOfficial]

@@nayaleezy no it’s not

[@Claimjumper55]

Great demo. I have the G3 pedal and it's terrific with all my amps as well as into my Helix. I also have the REVV Generator 7-40 Mk II so I didn't really see a need for the G4 in my case.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Nice gear!!👍

[@rockerbob949]

Good stuff. The AT-AT behind you is pretty awesome too!

[@min2youu]

2:05 who else thought he was playing RHCP cant stop?

[@babyyoda2190]

Same lol

[@ToxygenRecAll]

I thought of Ronnie by Metallica

[@keefer88]

guilty

[@robbah9939]

A G3,Rat and a tube screamer covers everything from blues to metal on a clean smp in the drive department!

[@jeronimomartinezfabregas]

I swear I saw the AT-AT bobbing it's head up and down at some point while you were playing...must be a metal fan

[@rayschoch5882]

I don't typically play with much gain, but this was a nicely done comparison - even an old guy can hear the difference between the two.

[@7387470]

Thanks for the review. I got the G3 as a gift. Really had no idea how to use it,not being a metal guy.

[@FabioStoppa]

wow

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Revv 3 for me. Another fair and informative comparison. Enjoying your channel. Love to hear these vs. the Amptweaker Pedals vs. the M1 Audio Crunchbox V2 ? Anyone try the Flamma $70 Preamp?

[@chotilottilot3431]

Very effective way of comparing both. Thanks for really helping the consumer in choosing wisely. Nonetheless, I like them both that's why it's really hard to decide.

[@ShaneStoneOfficial]

I have the g3 and absolutely love it but definitely want to try out the g4

[@SkogliJotunn]

Great versatility demo. You don't really get a chance to hear them low gain very much. And a lot of the metal guys shy away from diming them too. It really showcased how different they actually do sound from each other. And how usable the full spectrum of gain really is. I like the G3 best

[@Terneyah]

Got a little confused over your suggestion to use the G4 for rhythm… I always thought that it‘s the other way around, because most of the people that own the Generator amp, use it like this: G3 (purple) for Rhythm, G4 (red) for Solo/Lead. 😯 Anyway.. good review, thanks! 😎👍

[@millieoreskovic]

Probably the best distortion pedal I have ever heard

[@JInfinity7]

How much for the AT-AT?

[@jcoulter43]

Great stuff! Love to hear your riffage. God bless and rock on 👏🎸😎

[@DBSG1976]

I always wonder what a pedal like the G3 will do for a single coil JB Jr or Hot Rails...nice demo Darrell!

[@caseyking8394]

Im very early but just saying your high gain playing is excellent in this demo!

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks Casey!

[@ricstormwolf]

ALL THE GAIN!!! (Someone had to say it.)

[@lunarwave1975]

NO MIDS!!!!! 🤘SLAYER 🤘!!!!!!!

[@dariuskohler251]

Or yoü wont be haired!

[@kornklone]

METAL ZONE! Be haired!

[@ZippyLeroux]

Hi Mr. Darrell! For these sorts of 'tone tests' it would be awesome if you could put text on the screen indicating which pickup you're using for that segment. :)

[@arthurfaizov4305]

Finally good review on these pedals

[@ALTDOK667]

Not really a pedal guy, but this was pretty cool. Good sounds.

[@max12fisher]

R. James Toth I thought the same way until I heard a bogner ecstasy red pedal

[@PhilipCockram]

Excellent review and comparison of these two great pedals Darrell

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Thanks Philip!

[@williamdistasio9358]

Dude, ok so I purchased the G4 pedal and it's on the way, but, can we discuss that kick ass AT-AT Imperial Walker behind you? Lol.....I freaking love it!!

[@gmrossi7863]

The distorted channels are fantastic and everyone knows it, but wow it' s great also the "clean" tone... With a tube screamer before I love all the sounds that come out of these pedals!

[@skye7690]

Wow both sound great.

[@zukiryder4006]

I really like the sound of the G3

[@diagofernandes3514]

Loved both the pedals but specially the lead solo

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Good demonstration! Thanks for sharing brother

[@Ryan_F.]

What do you think of doing a more budget oriented multi-effects pedal shootout? Would like to see you put the Moor GE200 vs the Helix HX Stomp CS whatever else!

[@Ryan_F.]

And awesome intro and playing in general btw!

[@Bartisoft]

Great Tones Darrel !!!...I loved the first jam. I wonder if that backtrack is downloadable somewhere ??. Greetings !!

[@grandesguitarristas635]

I like the G3. Good review!

[@joshwokojance3790]

Awesome playing as usual. I’ve been looking at these pedals, thanks for demoing them for us. Love that Ibanez, but how much would it have cost them to put a small gold plate around the switch? The plastic seems to take something away from that gorgeous quilted maple.

[@place_desjardins]

Nice comparison video.

[@standodge5536]

Im buying the Revv G3 because of this video.

[@jeffoefelein2812]

I love the G4 but my main distortion is the BAD94, from Perfecto de Castro....search him and that pedal, but it is a great pedal but missing some mids so the G4 completes this and makes the sound amazing....

[@rockerfromhk]

G4 sounds a lot more open than G3. Sounds like a blanket cover the speaker when using G3.

[@herrpepe1355]

Great video. What model exact model is that Ibanez?

[@jeffflowers5489]

Stays crunchy - even in milk!

[@rudyhamblee523]

i should have listened to this demo before buying the g3. the g3 sounded darker and middy than i thought..perhaps the g4 will suit me better

I'm going to get both!!

[@sergioserramusic]

Great video (as always) and great pedals! Anyway, have you ever had trouble with KZbin as far as property content goes? It's an issue which seems to increasingly affect music related channels

[@mxpwr4003]

I still have issue with making this pedal (REVV G4) work properly. I use it in the front input channel of Peavey Vyper 75w modeling amp .. definitely not sounding as it should based on what I see in videos etc.. maybe this pedal needs the loop effect , which I do not have on my amp

[@xDeegan]

I know I'm a year late but looking to get one of these pedals and I can't decide which. All the demos I've seen I prefer the tone of the G4 but surely it's also different in person. I don't gig I am just a bedroom player. I like playing lead but also rhythm riffs.. I want to get tones that are heavy like slipknot, pantera or a few metallica albums like and justice. I know thats a bit of a range.

[@chrisplaza1812]

Which one did you get? lol

[@xDeegan]

@@chrisplaza1812 Suhr Eclipse

[@97warlock]

I want one that can sound like that tight classic plexi tone like Eddie had in his early 80s stuff as wekk as newer brutal metal

[@akokJ619]

Bro Darrell, could you please do a review on Joyo Preamp pedals?

[@droogii1142]

Not a high gain player, but I must admit, they do sound good.

[@Superjet113]

REVV is good stuff!

[@Superjet113]

Darrell is getting his drop D on...:)

[@nicks4802]

They were cool until I saw the price tag. Thats when I realized how many dirt boxes i own already

[@joker71172]

Ya $325 delivered to my door in Canada.But I bought one anyways. A treat yourself pedal.

[@williamdistasio9358]

Yeah man, I got an "open box" G4 for $200 even from Guitar Center. I think they're $229 Normally I would never spend this much on a pedal, but, my Katana 100 watt amp can only get so much distortion and I want more, bigger, meaner, darker, angrier and plus these look good! Lol I'd like to eventually get the G3 as well.

[@VitaTristis]

They're worth it.

[@calebrice76]

Can you compare these to the Keeley Filaments high gain pedal?

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

Hi! I'll see what I can do :)

[@grandesguitarristas635]

Hi! Couldn't avoid noticing that our profile pictures are alike... hahaha! Greetings!

[@calebrice76]

Lol hi! Thanks Darrel!

[@bennyrobinson6110]

I love ur playing it can sound so soulful and beautiful how do u doit

[@christineblack4654]

just wanted to say the Boss Metal zone detroys this pedal! I had my cousins over yesterday to watch the game, Canadiens beat Boston in overtime by the way, and I had just bought the revv a couple of weeks ago and had rebough the metal zone. I had one in the 80's. so I start with the revv got an ok distortion but found that I couldnt tweek it any better and that it did not satisfy me, just missing perfection you know? this is paired with the Boss equalizer by the way in a v shap. so then I decide to try the metal zone that I know is very heavy, so I start tweeking to him playing this very heavy riff non stop and found many different cruching sounds but at the end of maybe 5min I found heaven no words could really explain it except for perfection. and even had room. but this spot simply was IT! crushed the revv to bites. it's distortion at max and the two middle button facing each other top and bottom buttons. the first 2 at 9 oclock and the second two at 3 oclock. around there you will find pure eargasm. Its the same as in the 80's I remembered I had the first 2 at 8 and the second 2 at 4 oclock. very close depends who's playing and pick ups etc.. but still around the same thing. this is in front of the amp. this amp has no fx loop but I remember in does days I had a peavy that had an fxloop and it sounded great both ways. The revv will be put on sale. I also have the Sabbra Cadabra for the sabbath sound that I will keep for now. I just got the Swollen Pickle for fuzz that I will be trying out. In conclusion for good distortion and huge versitility I recommend the metal zone hands down :)

[@pabeloesdeban6165]

Hello, i'm from URUGUAY. You áre making a great job man. I don't speak a good inglish. You can aggregate subtitles un hispanish. Sorry . Ahora en español. Espero se haya entendido. Soy padre de 4 hijos , y uno de mis entretenimientos en mi poco tiempo, es ver algunos vídeos. De guitarra los tuyos son mis favoritos. Pero no siempre entiendo todo. Perdón laolestia. Seguí así. Y como decimos en mi país. Vamo arriba!!!

[@mcleroy1967]

That's a heaping helping of gain!!

[@shinjiro8875]

So good but so expensive almost the price of a small cheap amp like Boss Katana with so many tone but i must say that pedal sound awesome indeed!

[@thedisciple1764]

So many gain pedals on the market with similar tones. I personally like the Friedman stuff but I'm aware if you a/b a lot of the stuff on the market these days the differences are minimal. Most of the time the decision will come down to price. Just my 2 cents.

[@Rollermanfromspace]

it would be cool if you did a review of the joyo/hatley benton pedals. Can a pedal so cheap really sound that good?

[@batty2259]

G3 sounds like what I want

[@MarcCoteMusic]

It almost seems as though these pedals take the place of an amp's preamp section. I'd be curious to hear it in the effects return of your Blue Angel.

[@weedshoes5089]

Distortion pedals kinda defeat the purpose of owning a mesa.

[@MarcCoteMusic]

@@weedshoes5089 - In some cases, perhaps.

[@chrislazz5632]

G3 for sure.

[@beefnacos6258]

best reviewer.

[@backlom]

Did you know Revv is a Manitoban company? Check out their D20 amp.

[@DarrellBraunGuitar]

👍 I'm hoping to try out the D20 in the coming months :)

[@fredericadda]

Did you have the opportunity to test the Fender Full Moon distorsion? I'd really like to know how it compares to Revv pedals.

[@shootgunblues2856]

G4 I love open high gain

[@ArielsSmartyPants]

scoop or mids, great pedals :)

[@jeremebonesaw]

Would this sound good with a tube amp or would it just sound over saturated?

[@Terneyah]

A bit late, but: I use the G3 on a Marshall Silver Jubilee and… it sounds great. Running it through a 2x12 V30 speaker and a greenback-combospeaker. There’s more than enough clarity in terms of sound, despite the V30s, which are very aggressive. I’m planning on to buy a G4 for the leads/solo-stuff. To draw a comparison: my transistor boss katana head.. well, its the other way around. It does kinda sound oversaturated, like the pedal too much to handle. It lacks clarity and the sound isnt well enough defined. Though it roars, and does the job.

[@cronenbergj]

Wich is better for a Fender style Amp like Princeton or Deluxe Reverb ? G3 or g4 ?

[@muziklistesi5739]

sorry. what is the 02:21 song name? i like all your videos...

[@algarridm]

Which one for Mastodon tones?

[@Lauri_K]

Here in 2024, the REVV G3 is one of the best distortion pedals, maybe the best? I'm not sure.

[@fizzervc7264]

Does anyone by chance know what the actual model of that Ibanez is?

[@angryktulhu]

I like G3 tbh

[@joeysgear1419]

Been wanting these for a while and I'm not even a high gain guy ;) You should also try out the Pal 800 gold. Some serious business.

[@draganm7823]

The Pal800 is a serious pedal for sure!

Red for me, garçon

[@marcionobrega5117]

👏👏

[@hanten10]

I think G3 more best than G4 because G4 is compressed the sound

[@zekehall]

Great demo, and the pedals sound awesome. Just not suited to my tone.

[@jeremebonesaw]

G4 all day. Less compressed. Natural tones come through better.

[@9hk38f]

Can be used for more then just metal, turning gain down. *shuts off video*

[@deanbawalan5392]

Hello, I have problem with my electric guitar... the problem is that my 15th and 16th fret on the high e have similar sound

[@Cloyster27]

Dean Bawalan check your neck for if it needs any truss rod adjustments. If it’s straight you might have a high 16th fret. Get your fret levelled and it should be good. Check for the high frets first just to be sure you need to level the frets though.
