Revv · amplifier
The Revv Generator 120 MkIII 10th Anniversary is a commemorative version of the company's four-channel 120-watt flagship, marking ten years of Revv Amplification. It carries the same four-channel layout as the standard Generator 120 MkIII, including both the Purple channel with its mix-ready midrange and string separation and the Red channel with its liquid distortion and long sustain, alongside the cleaner Blue and Green channels. Anniversary editions of this kind typically differ in cosmetics and appointments rather than circuitry. It suits metal, hard rock and progressive players who want the flagship Revv voicing in a limited-run form.
