The NEW REVV G8 Noise Gate vs. my NOISY PRS MT15

[@Paul_Lenard_Ewing]

I have bought them all. From single end gates moving to the Boss, the TC Electronic the ISP etc. My board is wired as 3 separate boards. Each board is in effect used like an amp channel. The best is definitely the REVV8 for my very high gain. I do like the Ltd. Ed. defunct SM Cock Blocker for Crunch and I use a second for low gain/clean. My system works very well. All gates color the sound including the REVV8. but neither the SMG or REVV loose any girth which all others do. The coloration of both are different but are not obtrusive.

[@justinvzu01]

I wish the cock blocker was still being produced. Glenn nails everything he does, and he has a signature preamp pedal with revv at this point, so they could definitely produce them on a larger scale.

[@Jimmmco]

I have the MT15 as well, its such a great amp, but the noise... i tried also changing tubes and everything.. When i saw your video immediatly order the revv, cant wait to test it out!

[@KingDM83]

Run the 4 cable method it should help.

[@georgekalamas4859]

@@KingDM83 Hey, what's the 4 cable method?

[@eel.3170]

@@georgekalamas4859 1 cable connected from pedal input to guitar, 1 cable going from pedal to amp input, 1 cable going from pedal to fx loop send, 1 cable going from pedal to fx loop return. 4 cable method.

Hey, did it work?

[@REDDRAGON666ful]

I just ordered my new Revv G8 pedal, should be here in a few days! It’s cool that it runs through the loop and the front to, now I can remove the NS2 from the front and the cheap gate from the loop!!!

[@robbwylde2002]

Thank you for this vid; I was about to sell my MT15 b/c of the same issue...

[@louistorres]

Bro, never sell that thing. You almost have to work with it like you would with a bad horse. You gotta find its nice side. :)

[@tippss3332]

Good shit as always man!!!! Revv never disappoints.

[@louistorres]

Such a great company!!! They are going to be doing so many more great things! Literally changing the future of gear!

Yes sir! It's such an amazing noise gate! You'll love it!

[@markpenney46]

cool pedal no doubt, does the light change between open and closed? i know it doesnt matter a damn but even my very average sentry has that.

[@Ottophil]

I need that light for troubleshooting, can’t tell you how many times my rig has stopped working cause i bumped my threshold into impossibly loud

[@markpenney46]

[@PikaStu666]

I recently got a new MT-15 with the 5881 tubes and I’m pretty disappointed with the noise in the loop, but hell it’s nowhere as noisy as your one?! Great amp tho, besides the noise.

[@louistorres]

Stop it!! You're getting noise in yours?! I was told the noise was fixed with this newer design! Get a 5751 tube and put it in V3 to lower the noise.

[@kennethc2466]

My 5881 MT-15 is silent in the loop. Try keeping your loop cables away from the transformer, like all amps. Changing tubes does NOTHING, and gates destroy your tone. The noise is not from the preamp, it's from cable interference with two very large transformers being too close together, and to close to the loop jacks. Run the cables out and away, then pull them close to the output tranny. You'll see right away.

[@gagecee5129]

Hey Louis, what pedal would you prefer, the Revv g8 or the Fortin Zuul plus ?

[@louistorres]

REVV G8, bro! For real! Use the four cable method and done! :)

[@yousocrazy1199]

zuul noise gate is good too?

[@JoshuaPatrickGarrett]

But what about those little details, like the initial break of the silence with a single note, even with the decay at the max? The NS-2 muddles at that precise point, and of course cuts some sustain. That's the main concern in my book.

[@louistorres]

There are lots of great noise gates these days, so the days of NS2 gates are behind us.

[@musicinsession]

Did you try using the 4 cable method on the M15? I tried it and it broke the amp! After I tried that, the lead channel sounds like an air fryer!

[@edgardoarroyo7418]

Was the Revv G8 or wrong connection?

[@scottbrown9008]

Hey Louis great vid on this must have Gate, I was wondering what your preferred tuning is or if you have more than 1 tuning etc??? Thanks and Cheers from Oklahoma!!!!!!!!!!!

[@louistorres]

Wassup Oklahoma!! Hey Scott! I'm tuned down to C# Standard on most of my guitars. I think one is B Standard and two, which are my seven strings are both B Standard: BEADGBE. :)

[@timmylee1974]

Excellent review bro... A quick question... could you send me those settings and info on how you was running the dual rec. With the boost pedal please? Your tone was amazing and I'd love to get close to what you have going with that head.

[@Jeremynew98]

Bro that fucking amp is stupid noisy! But im definitely liking the revv. I had the g3, and that thing was pretty sick. High quality stuff from them

[@louistorres]

Such great pedals and amps! Even better is that they are really good dudes! They deserve the success they've created. Just really nice guys, that's always really important. :)

[@Jeremynew98]

That is definitely important to me. I dont want my money going to fund a bunch of douchebags. I do that enough by paying taxes 🤣

[@dildojizzbaggins6969]

@@Jeremynew98Hehe so you should never buy JHS-pedals :P

[@justinvzu01]

I love my MT15. It's noisy as fuck, but if you place any gate into the fx loop it cleans right up.

[@louistorres]

Yes! It's a noisy little monster but amazing with a gate! Glad you like yours!

[@xtian9072]

Decimator 2 G string From Djent to clean channel doesnt choke the tone of the clean

[@louistorres]

I have the Decimator 2/ G String and I actually prefer a few other noise gates over it. Get yourself an MKW Ball Gag. You'll never use anything else for years to come. Thing is ahead of its time.

[@fattone]

I know it's an old vid and comment but Ball Gag vs Revv G8 which one... lookingvto cut hiss during lead stuff and not too concerned about a hard clamp on rhythm stuff.

[@henrybelfiore8488]

Excellent review bro but I'm hanging out for the rev G9 not only does it suppress the noise it gets rid of all my wrong notes. Rim shot!!!!!!
