It's a blessing and a curse when a skilled player like you can make ANYTHING sound great. You are a very talented musician. I watch your vids just to see you play.
Tone always has and always will be in the hands of the player. Just walk into a music store and listen to people play garbage like Green Day on a Friedman Deluxe, they make a $3000 amp sound like a $100 solid state practice amp with a metal zone.
Crisp tones. Wide EQ range too. This is a super versatile, well-thought product that really shines. Love how you explained the clean tones and then demo how pedal-friendly it is. That first 4x12 IR preset you showed us was like heaven. Thanks again Shawn!
Man, I love the lush sounds with the strat. The crunch is happening too. Smart little amp. The only gripe might be that the buttons look a tad cheap. Great demo, as always.
I have NEVER heard this Guy play something i didnt like,,,,what i would give to have the Talent he has in one of his little fingers....1:33 Man i Luv these Outside - In Licks
@@ShawnTubbs It's on heavy rotation at my house. Once upon a time, when I was working on "tone" and what to aspire to, a friend of mine said "ZZ Top 6 Pack: all the tones you'll ever need". Well, times have changed and, when anyone asks me about killer tone, now I can say "Shawn Tubbs, Demolition: all the tones you'll ever need".
The amp sounds terrific...BUT YOUR PLAYING, AS ALWAYS, IS THE REAL TREAT...MAN I LOVE YOUR STYLE ..AND YOUR U MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY! Keep up the great work and great videos
What a cool amp, and even cooler playing! Any piece of gear I consider buying, I always check to see if you've demoed it before I get it. I really enjoy the work you do, and your playing is second to none! I can't wait for your next video! Thanks Shawn!
OH man I'm loving all these cab-less options we have for amps these days. I play so often witch mic'd up acoustic instruments on in ears so it makes way more sense for me. Thanks for the amazing review!
loved it. i have a revv 120 p. it is great, and has lots of useful toggles which really sculpt the sound and feel of the amp. plus it has a super transparent effects loop.
About the same concept as the Suhr PT15 IR. Seems to sound as great and is almost only a third of the price. Downside (if I understand it correctly) is that you're limited to The Two Notes IR format, but since they sound terrific that's probably something you can live with. Also, thanks for pointing me in the direction of the Two Notes Wall of Sound plugin. Didn't know it existed.
Yeah, the fact that the PT15R has the name "Suhr" on it makes it automatically three times the price... but I would still like to hear a head-to-head (literally) match up between the two.
"oh yeah, that's huge"(that's what she said! ). Amazing amp and I love the built in IR's. I am looking for an amp and they just keep pushing out more and more incredible choices. Shawn as always the playing and tone is inspirational!
Hi Shawn. I just built a wet/dry/wet rig with my D20. I love the amp. When I went to the rehearsal room I needed to change a setting in volume in the Torpedo software. It did not start because I did not have an internet connection. Isn´t it possible to use the Torpedo SW offline? Otherwise it can get difficult if there´s not internet connection available. Thanks much, Sascha
Wonder if they’ll make more amps like this, from what I’ve heard, it’s all I would want bc it works so well with pedals, but hope there’s more in the future bc this is such a great thing for the price.
Just got around to this - excellent demo and playing. Do you think as a DAW input anything would be added if used in conjunction with a Line 6 (omitting the amp and cab part of the signal chain), maybe 4 cabling? Or is it more of an alternative to the Helix as an input device? Used stand alone as an amp would you think the Helix would work well with it as an alternative to pedals?
Hey all, I recently picked one of these up and very impressed, but so far I haven't been able to dial-in a full jazz or R&B tone on my Les Paul (R8). Any tips?
Probably not going to see this as it's a few years late, but how dynamic would you say this amp is? Specifically asking about more than just what people seem to refer to as "touch sensitivity", as I'm not only concerned with cleaning up from an edge of dirt sound. I'm more referring to dynamic volume output. Kinda like what you experience when playing acoustic guitar, if that makes sense. Cheers Shawn and thanks for an excellent demo
Great demo and masterful playing as always! Was that a nod to The Who in one of those rhythym parts? Best to you man, always inspiring. Great way to start the day with one of your videos!
can i attach an ipad with two notes app to d20 amp using a ios lightning cable to the D20 usb plug in using an adaptor? I ask Revv engineer and also two notes, they had no clue. and the manual is not very user friendly.
Nice review Shawn. Great sounding little amp. Wished those switchers weren´t push/pull type. Does the load and IR's work with the cab on, or is it just one option or the other? Thanks
Any suggestions on using this and having some backing tracks if playing through headphones? Is there any aux in type adapters for usb? I’m really not certain but looking for amps for more home playing at night and when small kids are napping. Thanks
I guess I missed this one when it came out. Great job as usual....when you switched to the cab emulations built into the amp: 1 - Am I hearing you playing over a track on your DAW? 2 - In your room is the sound you hear coming out of those 2 monitors behind you? ... (since you are not wearing headphones)
Thanks!! The signal chain when I switched to the embedded reactive load and IR is: D20 XLR out > Apogee Quartet Line Input. I'm monitoring via the monitors behind me but you're hearing the direct recorded signal.
I really can't decide if i want to save up and get a Synergy SNY2 or the Revv D20. Im a clean player, and very rarely use any type of saturation, but i want a nice tube amp tone and feel with a great sounding direct recording solution. The SYN2 is stereo, so with that feature alone im leaning more towards that one, but the Revv sounds great and i love the build in Two Notes tech.
For a direct recording solution, the D20 truly is the better way to go in that it has the Two Notes tech with a reactive load. If stereo is an absolute must, then the SYN2 might be the better choice but you'll be sacrificing a lot of options for direct recording.
@@ShawnTubbs thanks for your response and suggestions. Been watching a lot of demos on both products and i think in terms of tone, the D20 is the winner. That amp sounds killer to my ears.
@@ShawnTubbs if I’m just going straight into logic without the editor software open, is the IR happening automatically within the amp? And does that IR get signal from the amp’s power tubes?
@@benkmurray Yes there are 6 pre-loaded IR's in the D20. You would have to download the editor software from Two Notes to create a preset that has no IR.
The D20 is more of a single channel platform although it does have a crunch mode. The Mesa Mark V 25 is a two channel amp. The D20 has a 6v6 tube power section which is going to sound different than the Mesa's EL84 power section. The Friedman Pink Taco is also an EL84 power section but like the D20 is a single channel amp. The D20 and the Mesa Mark V 25 and the Friedman are all excellent amplifiers. They are all at different price points. I believe the Mesa is $1599.00 and the Friedman is $1499.00 and the D20 is sitting at $1199.00. One thing that is unquestionable is the Two Notes embedded IR in the D20 is quite a bit better than the analog cab clone circuit in the Mesa or really any analog circuit. I guess the question is really what do you need? Would you rather not use pedals and have a channel switching amp? The Mesa might be the way to go. Do you need a great pedal platform amp with incredible IR tech on board? Maybe go D20. Do you want a great pedal platform amp that sounds more British and you aren't concerned so much with IR or Cab Clone? Maybe go Friedman...
Shawn: I am considering either a D20 or G20, especially to record at home. I play metal mostly, have a G3 pedal (and love it), and am wondering if it is best for me to go D20 to get the most versatility of style. Would I likely be happy with the D20 with my G3 pedal? Or would I be best to just go G20?
If you don't already own a good pedal platform amp the D20 is a way better solution just based on the cost alone. The UAD OX is one of the best cab modelers there is, but it alone will cost you $1299.00 before you get an amp.
Thanks so much for watching! The REVV D20 doesn't have power scaling, just a half-power switch. The only other amp that comes to mind that would have an onboard reactive load, IR software and a headphone out like the D20 would be the Suhr PT15.
@@ShawnTubbs , OK Thanks. Reason why I would like to see your Demo of the PT 100 is because you play a variety of styles, not just ROCK. It would be nice to hear how some Country lead sounds like on the PT100 clean channel.
Thanks Shawn, really interested in this amp and wanted to see what you thought about it. As always amazing playing!! Is it posible to use both the torpedo and the speaker at the same time, speaker on stage and torpedo to house?
I'm honestly very impressed with this amp! Sounds killer through a cab on the mic and has basically a Two notes Torpedo live embedded! Oh, and yes you can run both the torpedo and speaker.
I would like to see a Kemper used as a preamp and for effects used with 3 of these Revv D20 amps in a wet/dry/wet setup, just using the power amps with both live cabs and the built in Two Notes IR DI’s used simultaneously. 3 * 12” speaker cabinets loaded with Kemper Kone speakers by Celestion (allegedly coming mid-2019) and set up to switch cabinets and presets via midi using a RJM Mastermind LT midi foot controller
Maybe I missed it but is the torpedo reactive load and cabinet emulation always active on the XLR output? Meaning it's active whether you have a cabinet connected or are on headphones or want to record silently etc. Obviously that switch on the back turns off the speaker output but I'm wondering if that also enables the reactive load and cab sim at the same time so you can only have either the cab sim on, or the speaker on but not both. I would hope the torpedo is active all the time so you can send that signal to front of house or to a recording interface while still having the speaker active as well to hear yourself.
The Torpedo output is active all the time. You can run the XLR out at the same time as the speaker output, allowing you to use a cabinet for reference. The Virtual Cabinet/IR would not go through the reference Cab, just direct into your interface. You can also hear the VC/IR used through the headphone output at the same time. The loadbox is a Reactive load, not resistive. The speaker load button on the back is essentialy there to mute the cabinet if you have it connected. There is a fail safe that makes sure if you don't have a cab connected, the reactive load is engaged. This way the amp is always protected.
Would be even better if it had a dedicated drive channel that was foot switchable. I much prefer amp gain and drive over any pedals, especially to get thick punching and sustained leads, so it's the only oversight I see here on an otherwise really practical little amp. I have the EVH 5150 mini head and it honestly gets WAY too loud for bedroom. The REVV intrigues me for that 4 watt setting. Ironically, the EVH lunchbox has a 4 watt switch too and it sound nothing like that. It's literally just as freaking loud as the 15 watts, which are RAGING loud. Great to play with a full band in a rehearsal space, but I wanted the versatility of the low-wattage bedroom levels. It baffles me that making an amp that does all this is so hard for companies to develop. REVV is very close, but again, the lack of two channels personally makes it a pass for me.
Just so you know, my wife hates you. Lol. Every time you demo something, I talk about it all night. She may even sue you over all the money I’ve been spending 😂🤣. Great demo, as always!
I give it a like solely on the guys guitar playing . The amp is way overpriced it's a simple tube amp with stereo options available 20 years ago in top-of-the-line home stereos.

The Torpedo Embedded only affects the direct out, not the speaker cabinet.

Well the two notes reactive loadbox built into the amp is the selling point. Youd pay about half the price of this amp just for the loadbox.
Amps and amp heads are getting too sophisticated all The well known guitar players play older amps they don’t need to be NASA build amps
