To be fair, the Mesa Boogie Mark 5:25 or 5:35 have offered the combination of a superb sounding amp and an integrated load-box (Mesa’s own Cab-Clone) including headphone-out, the ability to work without a speaker cabinet, XLR-out and MIDI in a small head Version for several years. They also have loads of tones on tap from clean to extreme gain. Ridiculously expensive, but if you add the Revv Gx pedals to the equation, not too much of a difference. The Revv does get bonus points thanks to the Torpedo suite, which gives you loads of possibilities to control from your computer and the different cab simulations.
Yes Rabea! I just shot my first YT video for my channel and the Revv D20 is going to be the hub for everything I do. Writing for a kid's tv show I have to be quick and have tones that are on fire. This little head into the Apollo with two-notes inside is worth every single penny. Keep creating my friend. Hope to meet in person one day once I earn my own YT stars and stripes. :)
Nice thanks for taken me with ya on that journey threw the garden of azubar,wer in this world is that made Bea. You sold me in the first and clean as you can be part.Alwys a joy.Iv got to admit you can see when itasked you to bing it on over into this world..It deffently brings out the kid in you.Nice job Buddy.Take care my friend.
Best review of a guitar amp that I've seen. It was this video that kicked me off the fence. It's due at my home tomorrow, and I'm not even a guitar player yet! I'm actually a 25 + year drummer, finally getting into recording in my own project studio. My plan is to produce live drum tracks for clients, but this product will open the door to killer guitar tracks as well. Thanks !!
Your reviews are always amazing ! Versatile gear, your incredible ear for tone, you play such a diverse range of genres, and you play each of them so well ! You maintain such a friendly attitude, without the huge ego most other reviewers flaunt. Thank you.....this review made my day, and helped me decide on the perfect amp for my 1x12 cab (and use with my computer).
Dude-if you just did nothing but play- that alone would sell the Revv D20. Unbelievable sound. And your playing is amazing. You got me wanting to buy this.
Was not expecting Blood and Thunder. Absolutely killer demo. Might have to get one. Absolutely stacked with tunes and I’ve been looking for something this versatile and convenient.
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this review. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time and, thanks to you, I found one of these babies used for about 800$ at just the right time! Thanks again for this very comprehensive review, man.
Rev on - sounds freekin awesome - Great sounding gear - Nice demo Rabea - I really liked your hyper picking (metal chug stuff) ala Ola - Ola got nothing on you.
Kickass demo, Bea. And this is definitely a great tool. Probably gonna be my first Revv. I love their stuff , but I'm not a high-gain guy; this, however, is a whole other ballgame... Cheers
Sounds awesome in my headphones and in my studio! Hey Rabea, what do you use to listen when you make your videos? Are you listening with IEM or your studio monitors! 🤘🤘could listen to you play all day
I didn’t even know there was a G2 pedal! I wish there an eq bypass (without just plugging into fx return) for “pedal platform” amps. I still want the gain control and the preamp tubes, but I want my eq shaping from my “preamp” pedals.
I swear to fuck. Im convinced you're one of the greatest guitarists/riff writers alive right now. Your style is so unique and well sorted. Unmatched skill. I could listen to you noodle for hours.
First, the guys out at Revv are now kicking themselves for not getting the D20 into Bea's hands sooner! Second, the PT15 may be in a bit of trouble with competition like the D20 lurking about. Lastly, thank you, Bea! This video was off the chain and I'm saving up for a D20 and a G2! SiCk tones!!!!!!
I can't tell if I want this! On one hand, it's super portable, is made in Canada and has a very pleasing tone. On the other hand, it seems to be better suited for the studio vs. live use, most demos rave about the Two Notes vs. the head into a cab set up and technology changes so much that I fear this will be a trendy product!
Rabea, although I agree the tone is amazing,I do have a criticism. You are using your own IR's so the tone you are creating is not what the guy in the street who buys the amp will here, It would have been better to use the pre loaded IR's for a better representation of the amp. Having said that,I am very impressed with it and I'm looking to possibly get one.... also can you get hold of the IR's you were using? Or download them from yourself or somewhere?
Warren Bolton hey man, I agree, I could have used the on board IR’s I guess I just loved it so much I immediately integrated into my rig so I loaded my stuff in and then started messing with it before I shot the video. In hindsight it would’ve been better. But the IR’s I use will be available soon
@@RabeaMassaad HI Rabea, I was wondering if by now it would be possible to get hands on your IR's yet? Ive had the D20 for some time but I never am able to get close to this tones... !!
Damn, I recently bought a Marshall SV20H and if I could go back in time I think I’d have gotten this instead. Seems like a lot of amp for the money. I might just get one anyhow. Dammit! Great demo, by the way.
I would love to see you use 2 of the Revv D20 heads with the Kemper toaster as a stereo rig and wet/dry rig, similar to how you may use your Kemper with two of your signature Victory Kraken heads, but with the added silent option with Two Notes cabinet impulses/emulations
That internal load / speaker switch on the back should have been a rotary switch. I could see somebody having that push button switch set in the wrong position very easily.
For the price, I think Revv should have made this a true two channel amp with a genuine Generator channel instead of a single channel with a crunch mode. Or dropped the price by about 30%. Better value propositions lie with the Peavey 20w lunchbox heads like the Classic 20 (half the price) with comparable features. Of course, the Peavey cab sim DI output doesn't come close to this functionality or sound, but it's decent. That said, great playing and review as always
Suhr already makes a tube amp with built in IR. It's a version of the PT15 Pete Thorn signature amp, called the PT15 I.R. Not quite as geared towards high gain tones as this one and definitely more expensive. But really good!
True....But the PT15, awesome as it is and as Suhr generally is, is more than DOUBLE the list price of this Revv, with the PT15 at a street price of 2700USD vs 1300USD.
This is proof that the sound actually comes from the fingers. Looks handy anyways, great tone.. would you do comparisons between similar amps/effects? I already bought the Blackstar!
wow...i havent been excited about a tone in a good long while. thx for the demo. i loved the clean tone more than the amps dirty side. maybe using the amp for clean, one of those revv pedals for a rhythm, and then a boss eq for soloing...thx for a great video
Rabea, Finally. I've been wondering if youyd do this amazing Amp review. I have a Victory BD-1, finally saved enough for it. Now I dream of this REVV to play in stereo with that. One day. Thanks for your reviews and music. It always inspires!
REVV make such damn good amps / pedals. Unfortunately there are no suppliers in Australia that I have come across yet... Was lucky to find their G3 pedal.
@@RevvAmps Yeah that's where I bought my G3 from. They were the only supplier I found in the Country that had it... To answer your question, here is a short list of popular retailers that may consider it? Kosmic Sound Guitar World Sound Centre Manny's Music Muso's Corner Mega Music I would LOVE nothing more than to see more REVV products in Australian stores! :D
Great review! Do you think a product like this could replace a Kemper (I mean: be better than a Kemper) for studio or fly gig (as long as you want a clean platform and use pedals)? Thanks a lot!
Can you use a cab and balanced out to the PA at the same time? I'd like to be able to run this to the front of house but still use the cab to monitor my sound from the stage and at least hear myself.
Hi, awesome video. Quick question : where are you adding your delay and reverb in the chain? In front of the amp or in the effect loop? Also, they sound l.u.s.h, what reverb and delay are you using? Thanks
Interesting video, and interesting product. I know you're a big fan of the 2notes stuff, but aside from that software on board, how would you compare this to the Hughes and Kettner Grandmeister Deluxe 40? It seems to me that the H&K is maybe more flexible, also has the XLR out, cab simulators, etc etc etc, but doesn't have the software. Your review is what got me to buy the H&K, so just curious how you feel this stacks up, and where it may be more applicable than the H&K. Thanks man. Keep up the fabulous content.
"The product I've been waiting for"
-Rabea Massaad in a room full of amps
Mouth-“the product I’ve been waiting for”
Mind- “since they paid me”
@@TheOnlyGuitarFather "paid me the most recently"....
Yeah dude, tones for days with that amp and pedal rig!
hey Keith, what are your thoughts one the G20? Personally enjoying the shit out of mine
I could seriously listen to you noodle around all day. Your sense of melody, chord progression and changes is just memorizing. You're a savant man!
I genuinely love how much you genuinely love to play the guitar!!! Would love to hear the unedited version of your videos! Thank you for being you!!
You cannot fake that look of pure joy! Honestly, it all sounded incredible!
This is the absolute best demo of this amp that exists.

wow that amp is crazy good sounding, I have a mighty need
I read this in zims voice lol
Nice. I always find your chord work most inspiring
Same here. I've been playing for over 30 years and I always learn something nifty by watching Bea play...
Ditto!
Ditto
This is the exact feature set that I’ve been looking for as well.
Yes Rabea! I just shot my first YT video for my channel and the Revv D20 is going to be the hub for everything I do. Writing for a kid's tv show I have to be quick and have tones that are on fire. This little head into the Apollo with two-notes inside is worth every single penny. Keep creating my friend. Hope to meet in person one day once I earn my own YT stars and stripes. :)
I could seriously listen to you play just by yourself like this for _hours._
Glorious tones and sweet playing. You're always an inspiration.
That's one cool amp great demo Rabea
I just wished I could play as half as good as you
Nice thanks for taken me with ya on that journey threw the garden of azubar,wer in this world is that made Bea.

I never get tired of watching this video. Such an amazing tone. I’m torn between this head and the kraken
Me too!
I see you!.... n hear u
They make those amps where i live in Winnipeg MB 🇨🇦
I got mine last week and it's been the most fun I've had with a tube amp. Love it!
love the tones you're getting Rabea! They take me to my happy place
Was not expecting Blood and Thunder. Absolutely killer demo. Might have to get one. Absolutely stacked with tunes and I’ve been looking for something this versatile and convenient.
9:20 for the playing. If you just want to hear the amp.
Just wanted to say thank you for doing this review. I've been waiting for something like this for a long time and, thanks to you, I found one of these babies used for about 800$ at just the right time! Thanks again for this very comprehensive review, man.
That's the best sound I've ever heard. Seriosly. 13:17
Puf the G2 3 and or 4 in the head w foot and panel buttons and its game over.
Hey now, you can't just throw out Mastodon riffs and not acknowledge that you did it sir. I see you.
Whoa...Nuff said. Awesome gear. 😎🤘
Bea...as a 50-somethin proggy metalhead u constantly inspire me...awesome player even when ur noodling. 😎😎🤘🤘👌💪
Can’t believe they couldn’t make the crunch mode footswitchable, and a 16ohm output would be nice.
According to the manual, you can connect 16 ohm speaker when you have the ohm buttom in 8 ohms.
Rev on - sounds freekin awesome - Great sounding gear - Nice demo Rabea - I really liked your hyper picking (metal chug stuff) ala Ola - Ola got nothing on you.
Clarity and clean tone :) you can even hear it through the compression on youtube. Stunning
Made in Canada too! Definitely something I'll check out when I have the spare studio funds
+++ Rabea, you really made a fantastic , nice to watch, video+++ what i liked most was the balance of playing and talking+++ TNX Bro
Kickass demo, Bea. And this is definitely a great tool. Probably gonna be my first Revv. I love their stuff , but I'm not a high-gain guy; this, however, is a whole other ballgame...
Cheers
Such a great amp :)
Haha I just watched this video because I remembered the amp from your Sweet Saturday giveaways. My next amp for sure.
Sounds awesome in my headphones and in my studio! Hey Rabea, what do you use to listen when you make your videos? Are you listening with IEM or your studio monitors! 🤘🤘could listen to you play all day
On the other hand, this Mayones suits you very well :)
Amazing music Rabea, honestly.
Rafał Łysiuk do you know if it’s a regius model no?
Now that is a seriously cool bit of kit, great vid thanks Bea
22:42 literally thought you were about to play the top gun theme lol
I didn’t even know there was a G2 pedal!
I wish there an eq bypass (without just plugging into fx return) for “pedal platform” amps. I still want the gain control and the preamp tubes, but I want my eq shaping from my “preamp” pedals.
Would be awesome to see the torpedo in the Victory Kraken!
Stop that I can only get so erect
That's would be awesome! I think all big vendors should to start to look into this world of possibilities!
Great stuff. If I had a $1 every time Rabea said ‘product’ I would be able to go over and grab a Revv D20 tonight at Andertons 😁👌🏼
Brent Nel imagine if you got a £1 for every time he says “in a nutshell”
I swear to fuck. Im convinced you're one of the greatest guitarists/riff writers alive right now. Your style is so unique and well sorted. Unmatched skill. I could listen to you noodle for hours.
Yeah, and I like how modest he is by NEVER replying to complements like this! Must be a God given right or something!
First, the guys out at Revv are now kicking themselves for not getting the D20 into Bea's hands sooner! Second, the PT15 may be in a bit of trouble with competition like the D20 lurking about. Lastly, thank you, Bea! This video was off the chain and I'm saving up for a D20 and a G2! SiCk tones!!!!!!
NEVER apologize for being excited!
My dream rig at the moment is literally just this paired with the KSR Ceres.
I can't tell if I want this! On one hand, it's super portable, is made in Canada and has a very pleasing tone. On the other hand, it seems to be better suited for the studio vs. live use, most demos rave about the Two Notes vs. the head into a cab set up and technology changes so much that I fear this will be a trendy product!
The clean tones are gorgeous!
been waiting for a good demo on this! thanks for delivering!
I like it!! Sounds great. Now I want my favorite pedal over that crunch
INCREDIBLE tone!
Love that G2 (red) drive tone!
Still sounds bright to my ears. I love darker sounding amps.
How much money\subs would it take for you to release a patch for the Katana with the tone at 10:40 and 13:30?
The amps i/o and sim features are impressive. As for tones, it seems like you need a group of pedals to emulate a 5150III amp (blue and red)
One of the very best amps and pedals you showcased. Try/showcase a Brunetti if you can please.
Rabea, although I agree the tone is amazing,I do have a criticism.
You are using your own IR's so the tone you are creating is not what the guy in the street who buys the amp will here, It would have been better to use the pre loaded IR's for a better representation of the amp.

In hindsight it would’ve been better. But the IR’s I use will be available soon
Rabea Massaad Hey Rabea.. where can I find your IRs for download once you upload them ? Thanks a lot and beautiful playing !
@@RabeaMassaad HI Rabea, I was wondering if by now it would be possible to get hands on your IR's yet? Ive had the D20 for some time but I never am able to get close to this tones... !!
What an amp...Great demo Rabea...Next on my shopping list for sure \m/
I've got a G20, Revv does really cool stuff!
that first lil bit on the g3 made me think of the starting riff of blood and thunder
Dude! Amazing product. Great review.
Great video. Love your playing as well👍
Damn, I recently bought a Marshall SV20H and if I could go back in time I think I’d have gotten this instead. Seems like a lot of amp for the money. I might just get one anyhow. Dammit! Great demo, by the way.
I bought a Marshall SC20H and ditto! I'm going to get one of these and see if it's worth keeping the Marshall.
15:20 - Brilliant - also sounds excellent with the G3!
I would love to see you use 2 of the Revv D20 heads with the Kemper toaster as a stereo rig and wet/dry rig, similar to how you may use your Kemper with two of your signature Victory Kraken heads, but with the added silent option with Two Notes cabinet impulses/emulations
The background music.... Faaaaaaaark!
Can I purchase your 2 custom IR's that you downloaded into the Revv?
I don't particularly like review vids, but this one had to be done and well done it was. Great product and great demonstration.
That internal load / speaker switch on the back should have been a rotary switch. I could see somebody having that push button switch set in the wrong position very easily.

basically perfect. i'll be checking one of these out fo sho.
Rabea could you do a lesson on The Forge. It would be cool to see how you came up with the chords at the beginning of the song?
Rabea, Finally. I've been wondering if youyd do this amazing Amp review. I have a Victory BD-1, finally saved enough for it. Now I dream of this REVV to play in stereo with that. One day. Thanks for your reviews and music. It always inspires!
How would you say this compares to the Hughes & Kettner Grandmeister tone wise and as a pedal platform?
Good question. 👍
Exactly what I was looking for.
Awesome! It would've been great if you compared the Revv D20 + Revv G pedals with the Revv Generator to see if it's close enough
Wait isnt the G3 purple?
REVV make such damn good amps / pedals. Unfortunately there are no suppliers in Australia that I have come across yet... Was lucky to find their G3 pedal.

When you're using these are you hearing the DI results through the Monitor speakers behind you or are you doing something else?
Watching from the US sounding amazing think I just found my 6v6 amp
What a great amp!! 🔥 that playing tho - awesome
We are watching this...always 👍🤘
How do you hear it in the room? What’s your reference speaker? Is it a cab or do you come through your monitors?
Great review! Do you think a product like this could replace a Kemper (I mean: be better than a Kemper) for studio or fly gig (as long as you want a clean platform and use pedals)? Thanks a lot!
Can you please show us how this Amp will sound with your regular Pedalboard plugged in? And maybe with a Speakercabinet? That would be awesome.
I've got a revv mk1 7:40 and was aiming to get a 100p, but man, that d20 sounds fan fucking tastic.
Amazing lick 14:40
@Rabea Massaad Is the Revv D20 Loud enough to gig with ? I agree that the tones on this demo sound great !
