Revv G2 (Green Channel Drive)

Revv · pedal

The Revv G2 is an overdrive pedal based on the Green Channel of Revv's amplifiers, developed alongside Nashville session guitarists to deliver touch-sensitive, dynamic tones spanning edge-of-breakup to transparent crunch. It shares its control layout with Revv's other G-series pedals: a three-band EQ, Volume and Gain, and a three-way voicing control offering Red or Blue modes for further tonal variation. It offers unusually generous headroom for a pedal in its category, staying open and woody rather than over-saturated, feeling closer to a dimed tube amp than a typical stompbox overdrive.
