    I'm only writing this for the benefit of future guitarists that are looking for gain staging help. This video is about stacking pedals and not gain staging. If you're a guitarist then setting your gains is about ensuring that you have the appropriate volume from the source to the output. The simplest way to do this is to make sure that the volume of your guitar is as hot as it can be, and that volume remains constant through your pedals. If the signal is too weak going into a pedal you will have to crank it, and this will bring in noise and hum into you signal that could easily be eliminated by adjusting the gain (volume) appropriately from the get go. This is by no means an exhaustive explanation - however - there is so little genuine information on gain staging for guitarists that I felt that a couple of pennies in the jar would be useful here.

    Yes guitar players should do this! I'll even stack 4 or 5 pedals sometimes. As long as you cut the low end on each gain stage, it works beautifully. Thanks Shawn and Revv amps!

    I like how you can set up your sound using two dirt pedals at the same time you can play with the gain and volume and tone of each pedal to dial in your sound

      I use the EP into my G2 and G3 for solo sounds.. I was using the Archer for the same purpose.. but I'm thinking I need to get that Morning Glory V4.. it has that bright low gain I'm looking for.. sounds great stacked into the REVVs.. and sounds great alone.

    @brentjackson9093 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have a similar set up - clean amp/light overdrive (almost always on)/heavy gain/and then like a super heavy tube screamer at the end. I find myself just adding one on to another when I want to get louder/heavier. Is it better to steer clear of stacking them all at once?

    The Morning Glory sounds good in front of the REVVs, and if you use the gain remote...
    You have even more tonal options, but the REVVs form the perfect foundation to build on.
    Top shelf post as always.
    Thnx Shawn.
    Thanx REVV.

    Always enjoy watching Shawn play! I'm considering a Revv G2 with either a Fender Princeton Reverb '68 + Torpedo Captor X or a Revv D20 with a 1x12" V-type. Love the dynamic feel on the Princeton. Don't have the possibility to try the D20 before buying. How different would it's cleans be to the Fender? Would the G2 pair good with both?

    • @RevvAmps
      @RevvAmps  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The G2 will be fine with either - the D20 has pretty "American" cleans but they have their own sound and also D20 has a crunch mode. I would watch some demos focused on the D20 itself (like Shawn's) and see if you like it.

    Nice stack. In addition to that, I would like to add a G4 and a boost pedal so I have wider range of gain stage. Lowest gain is morning glory and the highest gain will be G4+boost.
