Thanks for the support guys, please subscribe!
cant do that twice
Would have been sick if you found a Dragonfly fx bm-1 black metal distortion pedal to test out. it sounds sick but they didn't make alot of them.
I keep subscribing and unsubscribing.
Ola please revisit your old amt pedals!
Ill unsub than next year ill sub again
That thing sounds so badass. The saturation is perfect and the mids really pop. Also has a nice low end growl.
Agreed just bought one for my Damien Platinum.
He's in two amazing bands, funded his own guitar company and now he's a memelord.
Well done, Ola. Olé.
That chugging at 3:20 was incredible and his face said it all
That's one of the most musical distortion pedals I've ever heard. Has a lot of dynamics and depth. I like how much sweep you have with the knobs and like you said, you only need that pedal.
Damn. Those EQ knobs really change the tone A LOT. That's pretty dope.
Best pedal review honestly, you adjusted eq during the review, tested room mic audio, and took off the noise gate for the pedal itself. I love it man
It definitely has some real bit and grind to it. Great sound and Im a little surprised how quiet it was without the noise gate.
That is a huge plus for a pedal.
really liked when ola showed the sound on the camera mic too! it was only then that i looked to see where he mic'd the cab. wasn't surprised to see it out towards the edge of the cone. he's warming up and smoothing out that rather harsh tone expertly with his choice of mic placement! definitely worth mentioning. otherwise you get a sound more like the camera mic. of course, we don't know what his amp eq was on. his clean guitar didn't sound mushy, so he likely had the amp eq'd towards the super bright side. he got it pretty close to sounding like the full rev g amp. very nice!
Damn! Immediately best crunchiest pedal ive ever heard
This pedal sounds amazing. I recently got the Diezel VH4-2 pedal and was blown away by that, but G3 just has the sound I'm looking for and will be a nice compliment to the Diezel pedal.
Awesome vid!
This pedal sounds amazing all by itself, wow. Thanks Ola!
i understood that reference
Wow , that pedal blew me away, I plugged my iPad into a mixer , going into 500 watt QSC power amp, and into a pair of Turbo Sound concert PA speakers, cranked it up, and all I can say is wow. On a different note, I don’t have to shave today because it already blew the hairs off my face. BTW, when it’s listened to loud like that, there is a big difference between the red and blue.
Some of the greatest distorted sounds I've ever heard!
Revv Generator 120 is a killer amp. I been using one for a little while now. It does everything well
*clap* Meme *Clap* Review!
That pedal sounds killer!
Fnassau lel
Waiting for Ola to say something on the lines of "TH-cam's favorite show, hurray!!"
Pedal Review would be good

The treble on this thing is ridiculously good.
When he turned the treble up on the blue mode, I almost creamed in my jeans. That growl was magnificent. I was at work and didn’t know what else to do, so I stood up at my desk and just saluted. 🤣
I picked up the Revv G3 recently and must say I love it, it is truly great, and went beyond my expectations in all honesty. It's made me start practicing more because it's such a real tube amplifier feel, (probably the realest tube amplifier playing feel I have played yet), and I am using the set-up amp-less, for recording. I also own and played a Vox handwired tube combo mic'd up in my studio, for a long time, but needed a heavy sound and it's there now. Fantastic.
you use it as a preamp/in fx loop?
@yigit980 Sadly no, I'm waiting for the day I can get my hands on a proper high gain amp head. I'm using it on my pedalboard but mostly with my UAudio Engl Savage 120 amp emulation within my console, for recording. Luckily it still does a decent job with that but I seriously need an upgrade for those songs I'd like to make a serious demo with.
This pedal reminds me of Gary Holt's tone on the Exhibit albums
true!
5:16 - That's the sickest riff I've ever heard!
Yeah so sick! Wonder what the riff is from?
This might just be the first thing Ola convinced me to buy something.
This thing sounds kick ass!
I love listening to your demos on my monitors it sounds absolutely amazing.
Universal Audio dude
The best interfaces
Amazing sounding pedal, another pedal on my list that will piss my wife off!
6:16 the face of a happy man!
Love it when you demo things in the fx loop. It´s really smart cause all amps have fx loop´s. Smmmmaaaaarrrrrrthhhh.
What a great sounding pedal! I definitely need this pedal.
hi Ola, can you tell us if this pedal works for metal?
no
doesn't work or you can't tell us? be more specific please
Jakub Duda probably the second one.......
It's a chorus pedal can't you tell?
those rockstars youtubers that doesn't care about keeping things clear, you know...
I'm buying one....straight up what I've been looking for
After your glowing review I bought one of these - holy shit! This is the sickest distortion pedal I've ever used or heard. Thanks, Ola! Nailed it, bro.
Oh HELL YES. The look on Ola's face, was enough for a deaf man to want this pedal. I thought Rabea made it sound great, now it's a few levels above and beyond that! Thank you OLA, I'm fuckin' getting one because it's what I've been waiting for a pedal to be.
3:32 Pretty much nailed the "Hope Is..." (Killswitch Engage) tone by accident right there, lol.
Been watching your videos since you were a hardly known. It's nearly 10 years later and I still consult your videos for what to buy next.
I honestly only come to these videos to listen to Ola chug and hear the riffs he does they sound so good
I think I found my new distortion pedal I was looking for to go with my new amplifier. I think I have watched about 300 videos to find a few pedals I wanted. Thanks Ola for helping me make my choice.
"yeah I don't know what to say, let me play some more riffs" - I'm gonna start using that in my social situations from now on :D
It's perfect, everyone's a winner.
LMFAO
but how does the shirt sound in a mix?
Kimmo Kylä-Laaso oh hai Glenn
Kimmo Kylä-Laaso its very silent in the mix
Better
Kimmo Kylä-Laaso well they promised it sounds way better live.
like a solid "6" out of ten.
I have a distortion box collection that will soon be growing by one. Thanks for your awesome demo !!
Ok. That is serious metal pedal. I just love it! Thanks for the review!
That sounds pretty good.. especially the "room" sound.. ambient Mic?
Killer
Great video. I do a lot of punk rock and heavier pop punk and I like the tone of this pedal. I was using the Seymour Duncan Palladium but it crapped out after two years so I’m looking for a new pedal that sounds close to the Palladium that’s more reliable and this Rev sounds dope.
I love the way this pedal sounds here. I want this one, Horizon Devices and the EVH pedals just to hear what they sound like. Man I can’t wait. Those Barber pedals are the truth too. All of those too I must own. Thanks Ola.
I’ll vouch for the horizon. 5 years later 😂 I have a Hughes and kettner black spirit 200 and the grandmeister 40 and the horizon precision drive tightens the tone to a disgusting level
I can listen to Ola chug all day❤️
The problem with low tuning, is controlling the flappy bottom end, when you play tight and fast. Having control over this really helps! Liked how his Satan amps pioneered this new control!
If you're getting a flubby sound is more because you're using thin strings for that kind of tuning.
4:35 the look of approval XD Sounds great.
Great videos with a better personality! Love your vids, man. Rock on 🤘
That tone is sick af, giving me goosebumps 🤘😂
There's a serious missed opportunity by not having the LED change colors with the toggle switch. Have it be purple in the off mode.
Another flawless demo, love Ola's approach of just stretching a variety of playstyles in a short amount of time while tweaking it to what sounds good to his ears - which happens to be a fucking great set of ears. I don't think I've seen Ola's ears? Can I see them?
at 00:01 you can see his left one
xsundae I want 👂 cANAL
I was thinking the same thing about the leds not changing color DOH! :)
Griff Simcox I think it's just so cool for certain performances when you can only see the strange colors from a bright ass pedal board through the fog a la John Haughm!
Cheers for thinking alike lol
@@aamado1013 I just bought a Thorpy CamoFlange pedal that has 2 SUPER BRIGHT green LEDs. I don't need a night light in my bedroom if I leave it powered up, the always-on LED that ramps up and down to show the LFO tempo is plenty bright to light up the whole room. And if the footswitch is on, then the other LED is also on at full brightness. If there was some fog they would create nice green cones of light.
Thanks for this bipartisan review. I like the pedal.
Without a doubt one of the best distortion pedals on the market period🤙
Whaaaaat! That is sickkkkkk for a distortion pedal, blows away every distortion pedal I've heard. I'm kinda looking for something to use when I'm playing my Vox and feel like being metal.
There are two kind of suspicious people. Short hair musicians, and thin cooks. Love from Finland.
Im both....😂😂😂
Too much adderall in the industry.. the thin chef is a norm. And still suspect lol
Tattoo artists with no tattoos would be a third suspicious person.
And gypsies with myopia glasses. No racist, just joking
@@2triggered2comment55 q
Well I'm sold. Just ordered one of these after hearing how good this sounds!
How are you liking it? I just got mine today and can't get it to sound mean at all
@@stormswanson9594 I really like it man! Favourite setting is the red aggression mode and it sounds really good. Much better than the distorted sound from my amp
@@Wartooth885 I'm running mine on a clean channel. Maybe I just need to play with it some more. But so far I'm still liking the metal zone
@@stormswanson9594 yeah it took a bit of tweaking but hopefully you find the tone you like with it
@@stormswanson9594 it depends on your amp. I have my revv with volume and gain at 45%, bass at 65%, mids at 45% and treble at 50% and it sounds killer
That tone is just perfect
That pedal is breathing fire!! Awesome man!!🤘🤘🔥☇
Thank you for using the pedal in the FX chain like it's ment to be used.
Sound great, reminds me of my MXR EVH 5150 Overdrive but offers more EQ control.
But overdrive and distortion are different
@@ceez3841 the 5150 overdrive is a distortion pedal.
@@Ottophil what the frick
@@ceez3841 They just do that. LOL. EVH 5150 is definitely more of a distortion. The BE OD from Friedman is also a distortion, and this REV G3. But of course you can use them as OD in lower gains/volumes.
Initial impressions: sounds exactly like Glenn Fricker's (and his demo video guitarists, of course) tone when he's using a Revv.
So hey, good job, Revv.
Thanks again Ola. This helped push me over the fence.
Just saw this video and you demo of the Peavey amp and I like what you do so far, I'm not even a metal guy I'm a skatepunk /pop punk /melodic punk guy who likes palm muting and chuha chuga playing so that's why I enjoy your videos 👍
I gave a like just for the outro giggle thingy.
would have been cool if the LED light would change to republican mode too
Elijah Martin totally agree
Agreed, I was expecting for it to change.
I'm not the biggest fan of the party but that was funny lol.
Or Russian mode
The light is changing based on how much the sound is changing.
great video and cool little metal box. The blue light of the pedal fits good to the futuristic seat.
Blue or red switch sounds the same to me. But Switches are nice without compromises and shiny LEDs are fancy.
i like it
This pedal is gold! Everyone says it is expensive! I paid $300 Canadian. I am not a profit musician so maybe that is why I can afford it.🤪 Seriously I have a bunch of heads I paid alot for and this thing rocks! I also have the Friedman small box pedal. Bother serve their purpose and No Regrets here.
It’s that sound that says ‘don’t interrupt me until I’m done playing if you value your mortal soul.’
Damn Swedes with their reviews... Sounds awesome! :D
I have one. One the best distortion pedals I own. Like the saturation it gives without being muddy. Looks nice too on my board.
Delicious gain + clarity
Purple is so metal
Adam Seeve thanks ;-)
Well there are quite a few Soldano Head that were made in purple and it's quite metal ;)
Not as metal as pink but it's up there.
👏🏻PEDAL REVIEW👏🏻
That thing sounds amazing!
WOW! That's unreal! Best I've ever heard!
Killer!
Amptweaker Tight Metal Jr is the best small pedal out there for heavy distortion and it has a built in noise gate to boot!
Yep they are damn good too,I have the Tight Metal and it does sound killer,but ordered one of these last night,so I will put it up against the Tight Metal and see who wins !
@@rosskrause3926 So who won?
@@DieJiji It was a difficult decision but I picked the Tight Metal for what I needed at the time..the Revv G3 pedal is awesome though..Tight Metal worked better for the small Pedal only rig as in I ran a Quilter Micro block pedal amp as my amp and ran the G3 and Tight Metal as my distortion boxes..I also used a EHX Holy Grail reverb pedal and an Xotic EP boost,and a MXR 10 band eq,the newer silver one..for me the Tight Metal was more forgiving and wasn't so precise so when I made mistakes which is often (Laughs) that it wasn't so noticeable if that makes sense ? Both pedals are very Tight when chugging along and for my half ass soloing abilities the Tight Metal won again. The G3 is a great pedal no doubt,the quality is top notch but it wasn't for me for what I was needing..I plan on getting a Revv Generator 40 or 100 watt version head when I can save the $$$$ for it.so might be a long time !
Great pedal!. It´s got bass, meddell and treble, love it!
This is a great sounding pedal! I need to get one!!
Where you always using a blend of both the cab mic and room mic?
Lmao thought Beavis was making a special appearance Cornholio.
Do you have TP?
Bungholio!!
Jaime Gómez pedals for me bunghole
ARE YOU THREATENING ME?!?
I Need TP for my bungholio!
True follower and metal guitarist....love to metal....love from India
Loco pedalzão, monstro mesmo, ja quero!
MEME RE...I mean, PEDAL REVIEW 👏👏
I see you Ola
8:18 when i learn something new and its blowing my mind XD
always a treat when do your thing,
"oh look there's Ola , the guy with great skills and a wonderful sense of humor, Where Pic I that your dogs name, a great on camera dog.
oh and by the way after seeing your demo I bought a Bogner Uberschall pedal .
Wow that pedal sounds great.
0:48 - Is it just me or you just said "bass, Metal, treble, volume and gain"? XD
bonus pedal ?
Love it! I'm buying one!! Thanks. Currently I use a Boss Metal Zone. Love the channel!
Hi Ola. Thanks for the review. I decided to go with the Revv purple based on your recommendations:)
an actually good pedal....fabulous
I can hear the difference between the 3 aggression settings but I’m struggling to quantify it
I’m hearing a slight scoop and a bump in the presence for the Red
and a bump in the mid range and resonance in the blue
Anyone else agree or am I tone deaf
Either way I reckon if I was tracking guitars with this I’d double track with red and blue on each track
Ola thank you for the awesome trve cvlt content and keep keeping the metal in our souls alive!!! \m/ \m/
Added to my wishlist after a new amp and guitar.
Ola, does it prog future djent?
Pewds is gonna take your money ! hahah
0:15 Perfect, amazing review. No idea what other crap you said after that review, since it didn't matter. That shirt wearing technique was insane.
Excelent review pedal t-shirt! Cheers from Argentina!
Chugs nicely, right off the bat! I liked the thicker tone of Blue Mode better, but I think they intend Blue Mode for Rhythm, Red Mode for Lead.
Seems to be very nice and controllable! I agree, Ola - this is a winner! Your guitars are beautiful, too - I’m going to research them a bit on my own. 🙂
0:19 SKRATTAR DU FÖRLORAR DU MANNEN
Jättebrååå
I think you mean jävla fitta, my Swedish ain't that good either tho
MANNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
meme review.....
Wow!! Very rare that i prefer the overall sound of the close mic to the room mic!! That pedal i insane!!
I know we're all about the CHUG here, but holy shit....
that clean tone is superb
