Actually, it's great to see somebody do a demo and NOT like something. I watch too many gear demos where they never really have anything negative to say about the products, and it makes me not trust those reviewers as much. Over the years, I've found myself not liking a lot of amps and fighting to get a good and consistent sound. So thanks for the honest review!
I'm another here who really appreciates a good honest, unbiased review. The amp wasn't for him, and it doesn't mean we wouldn't like it, he tells it like it is. Well done.
I love your videos and really appreciate your honesty. Seeing how you were with this amp highlights how genuine your excitement is for a piece of gear when you DO like it. There isn't much authentic guitar gear TH-cam content out there, but your channel is 100% from the heart. Thanks for making this one!
Exactly Euge you said it perfectly when reviewing the Mig 50 all these amps have lots of different sounds & many bells & whistles but they lack that 1 great epic sound.
Love your honesty. Some other TH-camrs that I used to watch regularly seem to be losing their independence, objectivity, and honesty. They are sounding more and more like salesmen and company shills. With that, they are losing me as a regular viewer. I think TH-camrs that regularly make demos, are facing financial pressures to deliver positive reviews to help secure sponsorships and future demo opportunities. Ultimately, this hurts everyone. I think a way around this would be for manufacturers to commission a group of trusted, talented TH-camrs to "Beta Test" products set for new release so they have an opportunity to make sure their products deliver the goods, will be liked, and well-received. As a consumer, I want good products at a reasonable price, and the manufacturers to be able to achieve that. Thanks Euge. I hope you will always maintain your independence, honesty, attitude, and killer guitar playing. 🙏👍
3:10 to 3:25 it will be the most honnest thought on earth for 2021. Really you make my day Euge ... !! By the way i'm pretty happy with mine, recently have it (i use it on my two last videos with virtual cab, amp set everything at noon and deal with my pedals) and i think it should be use with pre amp kind of pedal like the Revv G3 for exemple. By the way, love your channel, really killer content, good for the ears, inspiring etc... i have my Tokai cause of you i have to say so thank you ! ^-^
Glad to see honest opinions. I would expect to see more differences in opinion than what I see on TH-cam these days. Refreshing. Check out the G20, curious to see if that does any different. Now we'll know how it does on whether we get an intro song 👍 or not.
This Chanel is Gold Mr Lightning Bolt 😅 honest Review, honest opinion and that's whats matters! Your stream with Thomas blug was pure Entertainment. Thank you for all the awesome content Euge 🤟
Thanks! Cool man! Yeah I have one too and it’s almost as mean as my Bad Boy 800 2203 from 1984 😎. They actually work really well together for hard L & R panned chunky rhythm guitars 💪.
Old school and honesty goes hand in hand! Cheers! On another, but related subject... I've tried many high-priced amps expecting some sort of voodoo-magical tone, but have usually felt disillusioned and disappointed. They sound OK, but not for the price they demand. On the other hand, I just acquired a Marshall DSL20CR for quieter home playing. It's a reasonably priced 20w, 1x12 combo. This amp blows me away...especially for the price.
Indeed. Thanks! Yeah the sound is in the hands and amps just amplify what is ”feed” into them. Obviously bringing their own tonal character etc. One can never go wrong with a Marshall 👌😎.
Thanks for the honest review Euge! I agree 100% about the EVH amps they are amazing. I've noticed almost anything people plug in to an interface sounds good. I'm old school myself I want to plug into a amp not a computer and let the beast come out. Thanks for sharing the love my friend!!! 🤘🤘👍👍
Thanks for the honest review. My experience with the Torpedo software was exactly the same. I just drag an IR into the Suhr loadbox and get on with it.
You want the G20 it has a crazy good dirty channel based on the generator purple channel. I’m pretty sure you would like it. For the price it is nice with the two notes torpedo built in. The D20 is a clean amp pedal platform. It’s basically a non master volume clean amp.
I know you are talking about the amp, but I can't stop looking at that guitar. I absolutely love it. I wish Zakk would still play his bottle caps guitar. I know Dime wouldn't put down his Dixie guitar. Plug it in the 800 and let it rip!!! Keep up the great work :D
Hey! I've been watching a lotta your videos. Good stuff! I feel like this amp can be a great platform for high-gain amp-in-the-boxes, such as Bogner Red/Ubershcall, AMT, Empress Heavy, ADA MP-1 etc. It's definitely lacking something in and of itself, and IMHO I wouldn't use it for what it is. The bottom line is, it's got real tubes and a great cab sim built-in which alone costs a few hundred USD, I'd say it's pretty bang for the buck. Cheers!
I'm a little late to the party but really glad to find this video. I'm considering a D20 that has become available... As a 6V6 pedal platform/edge of breakup kinds thing? It's got my attention. but yeah... Glad to hear this honest review and with a consistent setup as always (SD-1 FTW). Would really be interested to hear @euge review the G20 which is more designed for high gain/heavy sounds.
The D20 isn’t my favourite revv amp either, it lacked something, I did try the g20 and was blown away! I didn’t realize that the difference was so much
I recently succumbed to youtube paid demonstrators and bought the Quad Cortex. What a mistake that was. Every amp model and capture in the thing sounds the same no matter what built-in speaker ir’s are used. So it just sits in the storage unit now. Worst purchase of guitar gear I have ever made. So glad I did not sell any of my tube amps. The Quad Cortex has taken the edge off guitar sounds and made it sound too smooth. There is no real rawness to the sound at all, far too polite. Probably great for elevator music, but it’s not for me. In conclusion, so glad to see that you gave a truly honest opinion on the lunchbox amp. I wish more people would do the same. Good job as always.
@@EugeValovirta230V I keep falling for all the modelling crap scam hoping that one day it will be good, but it’s never the same as a real amp…it just isn’t. Modellers seem to be one homogenised “too nice” sound, whereas a tube amp is angry and aggressive…as it should be. I will sell the QC shortly, no good for me. Cheers man.
Gotta love the no BS opinion. I know another youtube guy that raves about REVV stuff but I don't know much about them other than they are crazy expensive - the BIG amps especially, and ya, this is also way too much dough. When you first played I thought listen to that thing farting. And you immediately being inspired by kit to create a tune is a great point.
I like others appreciate your honesty. You didn't like it and said so, that's the right thing to do. I'd let you review my soon to be former Mesa Mark V head if you were close to me in the states or I was in Sweden, but if I remember right you didn't like Mesa's much. I'm going completely Fractal Audio and have very little desire to play any of my tube amps anymore. The Dr. Z amp you reviewed sounded amazing for your style, but every amp doesn't fit us and drive us on. Thanks for all the great videos and music Euge. Keep up the good work.
The D20 is meant to be a pedal platform more than anything, The G20 is more up your alley which is a smaller version of their generator series which is their high gain flagship
Yeah I had quite a bunch of pedals but I just didn’t like the amp. I don’t usually like high gain stuff that much but good old school tube amps. But we’ll see if I get my hands on some of their other stuff some day 😎.
Yea! I would get the Engl Fireball 25 watt instead of the Revv D20 or G20 lunchboxes ...!! & I own the Revv Generator 120 MKII that's one of my best tone amps too...!!!
Love the review! :) I have the G3 pedal and it sounds really good wirhout any gain on the JCM crunch channel with passive injectors but EMG 81 nope. It looses the warmth.
Pirun mielenkiintoinen Video! Kiitos sun näkemyksestä ja vaikka näihin TH-cam-esittelyihin Ei voi sata prossaa saundin puolesta luottaa niin eipä tuo kyl herättäny mussakaan fiiliksiä. Oisko Revvin G20 ja mikä se oli Dynamis mahdollista kuulla sun testaamana? Terkkuja kotopuolesta ;)
THANK YOU! After years of hearing how great REVV is I was excited to try some of their products and all 4 heads I tried left me entirely flat and uninspired
@@EugeValovirta230V they have a huge presence online and are Canadian (as am I) so I decided to show some national pride and give them a go. They felt more like modelling amps to me…they didn’t really ‘talk back’ when I played them.
Hey Euge how are you? Loving your reviews I just wanted to ask you a question do you know of a good Auto Wah pedal? There's one I did on my fractal and it was awesome cuz you could set how you use a lot be up and down
All good thanks and glad to hear! I’ve always used just a basic old school wahs but I think Dunlop makes a good auto wah. At least I’ve seen Kerry King using one and praising about it but I’ve never tried one 😎.
Actually I just looked that up and that's a fixed wah all right if you hear of one let me know it's just my legs are fucked up and it's hard to balance when using the wah it fucking sux getting old lol
Dear Euge, will there be any chance for you to demo Laboga amps in the future? They're a boutique Polish brand, well revered, but very rare. A fresh professional review could help me out before I pull the trigger on one of their amps. Thanks!
Yeah I’ve played one a few times with Shining back in the day (rental backline) and it did the job. Not as good as the original UK made JCM2000 DSL but you can never go wrong with a Marshall, SD-1 and a Les Paul 😎💪.
Hey man! This is a wild coincidence since I just watch all your videos for fun already - I've worked with Revv for years (and I'm good friends with Timo!). Totally get why the D20 wasn't for you. If you wouldn't mind me getting in touch so you could maybe try some of our gear I think is more your style feel free to respond and I can DM you! Or if you don't feel like it that's fine too, I just love your videos & playing, no hard feelings either way haha.
I laughed so much in the first minutes, before you finally let it out “I don’t like it at all” 😂 I could hear your mind in the background thinking “Damn, this thing really sucks!” 🤣
Wall Of Sound? I have had some good tones using that software, but I also do not like the user interface. It does not feel intuitive to me. Currently I am liking the IR loader in Amplitube 5 because it just works and is not over complicated. I also like its new VIR tech for IK's own speaker sim IRs that makes accurate mic placement easy and feels a lot like placing a real mic. Overall I prefer the amp modelling of the Mikko plugins, but I prefer using IK's new stand-alone AT5 most of the time if I am just playing.
You should check out the little 5 watt Hotone Heart Attack I have all kinds of amps, preamps modelers and effects I keep coming back to the little cheap Chinese hotone
I like your honesty man, im pretty sure tho, the revv generator 100 head is a much better, heavier sounding amp. Should see if you can get one of those for your videos man, im sure itll be bad ass with you playing thru it. But i agree with you on this one Euge
I know this amp is touted as "a pedal platform" but from the demos/reviews I've listened to it either has a Huge thick juicy sound or it's flat & dead. This amp either has some quality issues or it doesn't match well with some pedals(specifically boosts/od/dist). Maybe it only wakes up with certain speakers' combinations.. who knows. I'm guessing it's mostly a circuit thing that doesn't work well with some boost/od pedals.... too bad, I guess this really isn't the one amp to rule them all :(. Thanks for the demo :) !
When I saw this...I was like noway he's gonna be a fan a this thing...not even close to his kinda style.or sound.. The d20 is like boutique amps n he Jus needs a Marshall w a boss super OD n front n crank it!
Rare thing, not (overly) positive review, nice! What would be cool, to hear pro opinion on something beginners and bedroom guitarist might get, something like Marshall MG15Fx solid state amp. I feel something like that together with fully digitized set-up for variety is something us non-pro, non-gigging people might typically have nowadays. Although fully understandable if not interesting to you at all.
wow. so sick of all the youtube idiots shilling for this garbage company. i actually bought the g20 and it was straight garbage. thanks so much for the honest review! you give me hope that not everyone is a shill!!
I’m not a fan of “amps with apps,” (except for a PC computer interface utility that aids in editing presets). I certainly don’t need the editing interface incessantly prompting me to purchase add-on products - yuk. The Revv G-3 or G-4 distortion might be the better sounding, more usable product, despite being an entirely different product category.
I've seen all the videos hyping this amp and I was considering it until I saw your demo.. The amp sounds flat and very one dimensional . I'm glad to hear an unbiased opinion Now I'll have to decide between the Friedman Runt 20 or the ENGL Fireball 25..
I was quite surprised about the amp too and was excepting a lot more ’cos of the reasons you said. But definitely wasn’t my cup of tea. Oh that’s a tough one. I’d probably go with the runt since I like Marshalls a lot and Dave Friedman’s amps are pretty much like his take on them and especially the good ol’ Plexis & 800s👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks for the advice and excellent demos you produce. I think I'm leaning towards the Friedman as well.. I had a great sounding JCM 800 in the 80's that I've always regretted selling.
Yeah, I don't like this one either. For the same money, you can get an ENGL Fireball 25, which is really good. Or like you said, an EVH 50-watt amp head. We always appreciate your honest reviews. ( I don't think Pepita liked it either. He looks kinda bored, back there. )
I think there are a whole new group of players who enjoy these type amps including the digital stuff; Im old school. I just want to plug in, get a great sound and play without searching how do I make it sound good. Its the same reason I couldn't get along with my Mesa Boogie Mark IV
I think, the problem with this analog tube amps mixed with digital stuff is, that in a few years the digital part is outdated. I prefer a good analog tube amp which lasts forever and buy digital additions, if needed, seperatly.
The Revv G20 sounds better for hard rock and metal. But only connected to a real cab. I've heard demos with the virtual cabs and it didn't sound better than most amp sims. Honestly it sounded dissapointing for something that expensive. So no I won't buy one. I stick to my kemper and probably buy another guitar, new or used, for that amount of money.
Torpedo Captor (X or not) is not a good loadbox for recording because it doesn’t properly simulate a real speaker impedance. You can get good tones, but a Suhr Reactive Load (IR or no) will be much more reliable.
They really should have sent you a G20. You don't have to say anything I can see the disappointment on your face the whole time lol. It's very unlike you. Appreciate the review, I still enjoyed the video. We aren't going to like everything.
@@EugeValovirta230V Hi again. Euge, we are neighbours, and I have released metall music myself, also jazz an other things. But, you konow what, I have to ask you. My EVH 5150 III, 50 w, broke, on the red cannel, hadrdly used amp ! Thomann will not refudn as it is over 3 years. SO I lost 1500 dollars ! to go to raair in Norway...well, its same in Finland , about 100 doallrs an hour !. This map has such a great sound ! but what would You, buy next time, I have to repair noe, in a way, and then sell it, I can not trust this amp. You hav a recomendation,m in the same sound / category ? reliable, must be :)
Just take it to an amp tech. It might be just a broken tube. My tube amps blows & brakes every now & then since that’s life with tube amps 😎. Your amp has lasted surprisingly long without blowing tubes etc. Wouldn’t make any sense to me to buy new gear whenever something breaks ’cos that happens a lot. Especially on tours. I live in Switzerland so were not that close if you live in Norway.
Actually, it's great to see somebody do a demo and NOT like something. I watch too many gear demos where they never really have anything negative to say about the products, and it makes me not trust those reviewers as much. Over the years, I've found myself not liking a lot of amps and fighting to get a good and consistent sound. So thanks for the honest review!
You’re welcome and thanks!🙏

Exactly Euge you said it perfectly when reviewing the Mig 50 all these amps have lots of different sounds & many bells & whistles but they lack that 1 great epic sound.

Love your honesty. Some other TH-camrs that I used to watch regularly seem to be losing their independence, objectivity, and honesty. They are sounding more and more like salesmen and company shills. With that, they are losing me as a regular viewer.
I think TH-camrs that regularly make demos, are facing financial pressures to deliver positive reviews to help secure sponsorships and future demo opportunities. Ultimately, this hurts everyone.
I think a way around this would be for manufacturers to commission a group of trusted, talented TH-camrs to "Beta Test" products set for new release so they have an opportunity to make sure their products deliver the goods, will be liked, and well-received. As a consumer, I want good products at a reasonable price, and the manufacturers to be able to achieve that.
Thanks Euge. I hope you will always maintain your independence, honesty, attitude, and killer guitar playing. 🙏👍

Indeed 👌🤟.
I agree,if you can’t just plug it in and get a decent tone out of it there’s others that I can
Indeed.
Hey man! This is a wild coincidence since I just watch all your videos for fun already - I've worked with Revv for years (and I'm good friends with Timo!). Totally get why the D20 wasn't for you. If you wouldn't mind me getting in touch so you could maybe try some of our gear I think is more your style feel free to respond and I can DM you! Or if you don't feel like it that's fine too, I just love your videos & playing, no hard feelings either way haha.
Yeah sure! Please send me an email to: evalovirta@gmail.com
I know several Timos and glad to hear you know one too 😁.
@@EugeValovirta230V haha Delain's guitarist Timo Somers you mentioned - my mistake on lack of clarity. I'll be in touch soon!
Ah yes indeed! 😎. Roger.
I laughed so much in the first minutes, before you finally let it out “I don’t like it at all” 😂 I could hear your mind in the background thinking “Damn, this thing really sucks!” 🤣
😁👍
The same problem I had with the Peavey Invective. The sound was there but that's it
Damn 😎
Pepita is dreaming of he return to Lapland :)
He’ll be there on Winter again 😊.
First off that guitar is exellent.
🤟👌😎
Eugene. Come to Idaho. I will take you camping and we can have an acoustic set by the fire.
Sounds great so maybe someday 🤟😎🙏.
Wall Of Sound? I have had some good tones using that software, but I also do not like the user interface. It does not feel intuitive to me.
Currently I am liking the IR loader in Amplitube 5 because it just works and is not over complicated. I also like its new VIR tech for IK's own speaker sim IRs that makes accurate mic placement easy and feels a lot like placing a real mic. Overall I prefer the amp modelling of the Mikko plugins, but I prefer using IK's new stand-alone AT5 most of the time if I am just playing.
😎
Sounds cool! 🤟😊
You should check out the little 5 watt Hotone Heart Attack
I have all kinds of amps, preamps modelers and effects
I keep coming back to the little cheap Chinese hotone
I just actually got a bunch of their stuff but haven’t yet checked out what. But you’ll see soon 😎.
I like your honesty man, im pretty sure tho, the revv generator 100 head is a much better, heavier sounding amp. Should see if you can get one of those for your videos man, im sure itll be bad ass with you playing thru it. But i agree with you on this one Euge
Thanks man!
I know this amp is touted as "a pedal platform" but from the demos/reviews I've listened to it either has a Huge thick juicy sound or it's flat & dead. This amp either has some quality issues or it doesn't match well with some pedals(specifically boosts/od/dist). Maybe it only wakes up with certain speakers' combinations.. who knows. I'm guessing it's mostly a circuit thing that doesn't work well with some boost/od pedals.... too bad, I guess this really isn't the one amp to rule them all :(. Thanks for the demo :) !
Euge, thanks for your frank opinion.
If posible, test Fortin Sigil please.
You’re welcome. If I get my hands on one some day 👌.
When I saw this...I was like noway he's gonna be a fan a this thing...not even close to his kinda style.or sound.. The d20 is like boutique amps n he Jus needs a Marshall w a boss super OD n front n crank it!
😎
Rare thing, not (overly) positive review, nice!
What would be cool, to hear pro opinion on something beginners and bedroom guitarist might get, something like Marshall MG15Fx solid state amp. I feel something like that together with fully digitized set-up for variety is something us non-pro, non-gigging people might typically have nowadays.
Although fully understandable if not interesting to you at all.
Thanks! Good suggestion. Lemme look into that 👌😎.
Cool bro!!!!
Thanks C!
You are wellcome E!!!!
Honesty! 🔥
🙏
@@EugeValovirta230V Would love to see you reviewing Victory lunch boxes, The Jack and The Sheriff. Keep it up! 💪
Yeah hopefully some day! I will. Thanks!
wow. so sick of all the youtube idiots shilling for this garbage company. i actually bought the g20 and it was straight garbage. thanks so much for the honest review! you give me hope that not everyone is a shill!!
Thanks!
I’m not a fan of “amps with apps,” (except for a PC computer interface utility that aids in editing presets). I certainly don’t need the editing interface incessantly prompting me to purchase add-on products - yuk. The Revv G-3 or G-4 distortion might be the better sounding, more usable product, despite being an entirely different product category.
I've seen all the videos hyping this amp and I was considering it until I saw your demo.. The amp sounds flat and very one dimensional . I'm glad to hear an unbiased opinion Now I'll have to decide between the Friedman Runt 20 or the ENGL Fireball 25..
I was quite surprised about the amp too and was excepting a lot more ’cos of the reasons you said. But definitely wasn’t my cup of tea.
Oh that’s a tough one. I’d probably go with the runt since I like Marshalls a lot and Dave Friedman’s amps are pretty much like his take on them and especially the good ol’ Plexis & 800s👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Thanks for the advice and excellent demos you produce. I think I'm leaning towards the Friedman as well.. I had a great sounding JCM 800 in the 80's that I've always regretted selling.
You’re welcome! My two 800s from the 80s are still on heavy use and pretty much ”the sound in my head” 👌😎.
top 3 best amp brand ( not ranked )
bluguitar amp 1
friedman amp
revv
Yeah, I don't like this one either. For the same money, you can get an ENGL Fireball 25, which is really good. Or like you said, an EVH 50-watt amp head. We always appreciate your honest reviews. ( I don't think Pepita liked it either. He looks kinda bored, back there. )
Thanks! Oh yeah the ENGL too and of course the Marshall Studio series amps 👌.
@@EugeValovirta230V Or the Amp1 Iridium! Which is actually cheaper, but sounds way better!
Oh yeah that’s the best! After The Bad Boy naturally 😎.
"it's a sound..." hahah
😁
I think there are a whole new group of players who enjoy these type amps including the digital stuff; Im old school. I just want to plug in, get a great sound and play without searching how do I make it sound good. Its the same reason I couldn't get along with my Mesa Boogie Mark IV
Yeah I like the good digital stuff too. If it sounds good, it’s good 👌😎.
I was looling at a Revv amp on Equipboard, and the ONLY “artists” listed were TH-cam influencers. 🙄
😎
G20 next?
Maybe some day.
I believe Delain dude used the Revv distorion in front of D20, maybe you'd like it with BE-OD in front of the amp.
I think, the problem with this analog tube amps mixed with digital stuff is, that in a few years the digital part is outdated. I prefer a good analog tube amp which lasts forever and buy digital additions, if needed, seperatly.
I agree.
That’s the same way I feel about most gear I buy…🤷🏽♂️
😁
The Revv G20 sounds better for hard rock and metal. But only connected to a real cab. I've heard demos with the virtual cabs and it didn't sound better than most amp sims. Honestly it sounded dissapointing for something that expensive. So no I won't buy one. I stick to my kemper and probably buy another guitar, new or used, for that amount of money.
👌
Torpedo Captor (X or not) is not a good loadbox for recording because it doesn’t properly simulate a real speaker impedance. You can get good tones, but a Suhr Reactive Load (IR or no) will be much more reliable.
I bought this amp 2 plus years ago. I know what you mean by not being inspired. I’m not too happy with it either.
😎
Love the honesty. And i agree it sounds like dog turd. And that´s my opinion ;)
🙏😎👌
Haha, you can tell how much he hates it.... Not too many honest youtubers around. KUDOS!
😎🙏
First time i hear you sound bad 😂😂
There’s a first time for everything 😁.
They really should have sent you a G20. You don't have to say anything I can see the disappointment on your face the whole time lol. It's very unlike you. Appreciate the review, I still enjoyed the video. We aren't going to like everything.
Thanks man!
Thank you,,,,, this thing is dead.
Hey, not everything is going to sound good 🤣
Nope 😁
The Revv amps make me want to stop playing guitar!!!
😁
G20 is more metal
It’s crap. Next!
😊
This Tube Amp sounds like a bad modeler.
cant like them all, no matter how popular they are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
😊👌
love that comment, I dont like it.......I will for certain come back to honeste reveer...so many sale hookeers around, yaah know .
🙏👌
@@EugeValovirta230V Hi again. Euge, we are neighbours, and I have released metall music myself, also jazz an other things. But, you konow what, I have to ask you. My EVH 5150 III, 50 w, broke, on the red cannel, hadrdly used amp ! Thomann will not refudn as it is over 3 years. SO I lost 1500 dollars ! to go to raair in Norway...well, its same in Finland , about 100 doallrs an hour !. This map has such a great sound ! but what would You, buy next time, I have to repair noe, in a way, and then sell it, I can not trust this amp. You hav a recomendation,m in the same sound / category ? reliable, must be :)
Just take it to an amp tech. It might be just a broken tube. My tube amps blows & brakes every now & then since that’s life with tube amps 😎. Your amp has lasted surprisingly long without blowing tubes etc.
Wouldn’t make any sense to me to buy new gear whenever something breaks ’cos that happens a lot. Especially on tours. I live in Switzerland so were not that close if you live in Norway.
