@Odell Mateo :D

Well Elmo ‘this Guy’ Karjalainen, based on your video and in your advice, I bought one of these Revv, and I must say the pedal is really great! Thank you so much!!!!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Great to hear!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Had to see what you thought of this again. Thinking of using as a preamp into a power amp and ir direct into interface for recording. Thanks for always being honest kind sir! Hope you and yours are well sir.

[@THEJMILLSBAND]

Very Very Nice Playing and the articulation shines through with all the strings and frequencies. Great Job :-)

[@myuncle2]

I really love your honesty when you say that you prefer the Fender YJM pedal. The more you repeat that phrase, the more I like your clips :)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Haha :D Thanks!

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Thru my AKGs that pedal sounds outstanding.. Really sounds good. As a Preamp is sounds good in the loop too. I noticed after you were done talking and you said you had to re route some stuff, it sounded great while you were just noodling. Especially if you were still using the pedal in the loop. Lot's of clarity and yet gain. Very cool. Makes those stacked singles sound almost like EMGs or something. Wow. Very cool.

[@joeisitt1904]

Another informative video Elmo but you know you'll just go back to your fender pedal because you've got the sound you want, which I like as well. I play through a clone dod 250 which I built myself so I could tailor a couple of capacitors into a 1987. I really like that mahogany strat though, could you please send it to me with your left hand attached, oh and chuck the right hand in as well, just coz they come better as a pair and maybe some hair as well coz mine is falling out. Joking aside keep up the good work, I really enjoy your vids.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Haha :D I would, but postage costs so much :D

[@spottswoode8122]

Seems like it takes a bit more work to achieve the desired tone when used as a preamp. In front of amp position sounds like it gets you the typical Revv tones effortlessly and you're not fighting a volume/hiss/feedback battle.

[@daniellarson3068]

Hey! Elmo could you please provide a link to your friend Oolah Enlund? I did a search to check he / she out, but no obvious hits. Thanks.

[@Kadotus]

Most likely joking but here it is anyway: kzbin.info/door/fWdGyZaZODBPQc9Lu0y6aw

Great video! Now i know if its any good. We want more reviews like this! Greetigs from fellow finlander

Kiitos Eelis :)

[@youtubevideos415]

Hi Elmo. Have you ever thought about doing a video about the Boss ME-80? Seems so cool, because it's cheap, but contains all Pedals one needs and they are like real pedals with knobs.

[@MrPolevaulter]

I have now :D

[@yjm100playloud]

Hi Elmo i have a boss dd3 and i am trying to setup the delay like Yngwie Malmsteen and i could not do looks like you have the same setup can please help. You know the how to play fast by guitar world. Thanks

[@MrPolevaulter]

Thanks! Are you trying to get the stereo thing he does? If not, just add some delay with 400-500 ms time, and not too many repeats. That's roughly what I use .

[@jeffrivera6]

is the revv g3 pedal digital? because it has a slight delay when i turn it on..i mean, when playing clean chords then you turn the pedal on, youll notice a slight delay on the volume of the distortion..like the problem with some digital multi-effects where theres a delay in sound when switching effects, like the sound is cut. but in the revv g3, the sound is not cut but it starts with a very low volume for i dont know how many milliseconds, but its super noticeable..

[@MrPolevaulter]

Don't know.

[@darthshaggy9970]

its 100% analog

[@shredhead76]

i agree with your impression or opinion of it being good for rhythm tones. it seem a bit to thick for leads at times your runs seemed to lack the same note articulation that the fender over drive gives. But while chugging away on chords it had great note definition which was nice and odd st the same time that it didn't shine through with you lead runs. it also seemed to have a bit more clarity with it in front in stead of in the loop.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Cheers James :)

[@VanjaSpirin]

What do you like more, Styrmion Riverside or Revv G3? I want to buy one of those two, but I can't decide.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Riverside.

[@Theofanis1000]

Hey Elmo, i saw in the video you made very good sounds with revv and the vintage marshall, could you help me a little? specifically I have the marshall sv20, to which input of the amplifier did you fasten the guitar? I also saw how you connected revv to fx loop ... still, how much intensity did you set loudness 1 or loudnesa 2? can you tell me a little information about setting up revv? thank you ... Keep forward your videos are awesome, and each one video have something to teach me :)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Sure. I connected the guitar to the Revv, and from there to the high treble input of the Marshall. I might have tried bypassing the preamp of the Marshall, and gone straight from the Revv to the return of the amp, but I can't remember.

[@paulkielt9301]

Great sounding pedal, even if the aggression red position scoops too much mids to my ears. On the other hand, I prefer your Marshall sound with the Malmsteen's overdrive.

[@OrkhanJulfa]

Please! Make video with the new Boss Metal Zone Waza.

[@MrPolevaulter]

Been thinking of it. Might actually do it at some point.

[@JoaoMarcelo_1]

Great vid, as always. Although I didn't like the pedal. I think is too mid scooped. The Fender is much more open and less fizzy. But I'm an 80's guy.

[@MrPolevaulter]

I know what you mean.

[@Nghilifa]

I get what you´re saying. It´s more geared towards modern metal players. It´s got a much more "djent-y" sound, which obviously requires more high-end since lower tunings are often used.. It sounds brutal, but it´s not for me either. Megadeth´s tone on the Clash Of The Titans tour in 90/91 is sort of my "standard" as far as heavy guitar goes. Even though they played through Bogner Triple Giant preamps and a VHT2150 poweramp, the sound they got basically remind me of the sound you get if you boost a JCM800 with either a clean boost, or something like a Boss SD-1/Ibanez Tube Screamer.

[@davidjorgenpedersen8010]

Good Sounding Pedal Revv G3, 2 New Pedals I have Tried are the Moorer Brown Sound 3 Pre-Amp Pedal a Great Overdrive $85, And the Caline Tantrum Distortion W/Boost for$45 It is Surprisingly Hot.The Boost Increases Treble Response and Really Cuts Through the Mix, Have You Heard of These Yet?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Not sure. Maybe I should check them out :)

[@arkavagoswami3068]

Awesome video.if u have to choose between a horizon apex pedal n revv g3,which will be ur choice for metal?

[@MrPolevaulter]

I don't know. I haven't tried the Horizon.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Ok. Thru headphones it sounds terrific. I'm thinking it would be great thru a JC roland amp as a second channel. I like all the gain available because more is more! 🤣.. Now I have to see how good it sounds against the other colored ones. 🤟♥️. Thanks brother!

[@RisingPhoenixNK]

Have you tried G4 pedal as well?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Not yet. I probably will at some point.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Sounds great. When are you going to demo a Blackstar HT Stage 100? What is that Strat you're using?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Custom mahogany strat. A friend of mine built it for me.

[@chrisdaviesguitar]

Awesome thing. You using Dimarzio pickups?

Wouldn't mind having one in my gear arsenal, though I still prefer my YJM OD. Great vid!

[@MrPolevaulter]

Yep

[@trevorgwelch7412]

Thank You Your An Excellent Guitarist

[@MrPolevaulter]

And thank you :)

[@geovra1976]

Still prefer the Marshall Code :) Great video...again...this pedal is on my watchlist for some time now with the riot mini for heavier stuff...so many toys options so few money :)

[@MrPolevaulter]

Haha :D Yeah, I know that problem :D

[@JazzRuck1]

MXR M75 Super Badass Distortion vs Revv G3

[@MrPolevaulter]

That would be an interesting comparison.

[@alexdenton6586]

What is the brand of the guitar I can't see and where did you get that scalloped neck? That's nice

[@MrPolevaulter]

It's custom built.

[@ragingskeptic9753]

I honestly didn’t like this pedal through my EVH 5150 III Stealth. It was very boomy (even with bass down) and very oversaturated. By the time I got the saturation and boominess tamed, there was barely enough gain to play blues, much less metal. I went with the Wampler Phenom instead. It hits like a hammer, and notes are crystal clear. There is no boominess or mud.

[@robertclinger7351]

Great video! What noise gate do you use?

[@MrPolevaulter]

Boss NS-2

[@robertclinger7351]

Thank you. Bob

[@jessereyna7408]

The Revv G3 sounded much better in the front of your amp a lot better.

[@qrxtra9397]

i just wonder how they manage to put such massive pricetags on fairly cheap electronics in a metal casing :P

[@MrPolevaulter]

Easy. Just add more zeros to the price :D

[@AdrianNWB]

Considering that the amp this pedal is based off of costs over 2 grand, it’s really not THAT expensive. Plus, the G3 sounds exceptionally better than most distortion pedals.

[@robertolsen9721]

@@AdrianNWB Yes! And the development cost alot, it's not just the sum of components and mounting, laber cost is not that cheap since it's made in Canada.
