Revv · amplifier
The Revv Generator 120 MkIII is the flagship of the Generator line, a four-channel 120-watt all-valve head that carries both of the company's signature high-gain voices where the smaller models carry only one. The Purple channel is the sound Revv is known for, a high-gain voice with a distinctive midrange, even saturation and string separation often described as mix-ready, well suited to downtuned metal. The Red channel is the opposite approach, offering liquid distortion and long sustain for soaring leads and wall-of-sound rhythm parts. Blue and Green cover cleaner territory below them. It suits metal, hard rock and progressive players who want both high-gain characters in one amplifier.
