There's ways to do that....They are having hard time figuring it all out, as that channel would be better, if the amp could use chewier, saggier, softer power amp.
He said he don’t want to make any compromises and wants to have all channel 100% to his taste, so that’s the reason it takes so long.
DId a bit more REVV research on the new Green channels.Did a little REVV research tonight with the violet Custom 24. Tried all three of the Purple and Red channels through the '65 Bassguy 2x12". Liked Purple 2 the best of the Purples, and Red 1 of the Reds. Whipped up a preset each with them. With the gain dialed back to 0.7, it gives a nice, ballsy sound that works well for classic rock. Harder rock at 1.7, and insane sustain at 3.7. I'd've used the hell out of one of them in the '90s....

Shawn Tubbs does amazing demos for them , I agree there’s so much metal but Tubbs really shows the range of controls and what the amp can doI'd been wanting to start using a more modern amp tone and Revv was another one of those amps I ignored because my impression was 'metal'. Watched a Shawn Tubbs video, tried the Green and liked it a lot.
I really like how easy it was to dial in tones. Noon on all the knobs was a good starting point. It seems like on some amps, I need to discover that Bass on 2 or Treble on 0 is a good starting point and it takes me forever to dial something in.
I ended up with a decent preset using the Green, Purple & Red in under and hour (which is good for me.). Using a Dyna-cab couldn't have hurt either.

real revv amp is very picky about pedals and IME, it is one of the worst if not THE worst, when it comes to handling the boost/od pedals. Something about their preamp or gain structure is very different to majority of other amps. Soundwise it is really tight amp, but it feels a bit loose to play, or vice versa.. if that makes any sense.Is it anyone's else experience that Revvs take distortion pedals differently from other amps?
I have a few pedals like RC Booster and Horizon Precision set up the way I need it and use them with all amps to great success. The sound is... predictable, so to so. I know what I'll get if I hit the pedal with Marshall, Dumble or Vox.
But not with Revv. I had to change the setting on ALL my pedals for them to sound decent, and I'm still not happy. Feels differently, and the sound sometimes, well, phasey (Precision especially - I cannot use it with Revv at all, no matter settings, default or not).
Am I glitching in my head or what?... It's like this amp doesn't want me to stick pedals in it
For me, the Revv already has a nice thick complex distortion, tons of gain if needed….and so open sounding….still using Purple, haven’t had time to mess with reds yet…reminded me of feeling I got when Cygnus came out and played 59 Bassman with fuzz, but so much more refined….Is it anyone's else experience that Revvs take distortion pedals differently from other amps?

Damn it. I also have compressors set the way I need, and it works with every other amp, like Pedal comp right after the input just to get a little ~1.5 of compression. I stick them in 5153, I know exactly what I'm going to get. With this amp all I get is a hiss and so much noise from the strings that it makes it impossible to play a clean legato line.real revv amp is very picky about pedals and IME, it is one of the worst if not THE worst, when it comes to handling the boost/od pedals.

here’s a video, where this guy says basically the same thing as are my experiences with this amp, regarding that OD/boosting thing.
I love the Friedmans, control the bass and it’s awesome….IMHOI’m loving the amp, and agree for me it’s a great modern hotrodded Marshall, kind of what the Friedman amps are meant to be.
But for my taste, better/more intuitive eq. I struggle with Friedmans to be honest
Green will do a lovely near clean with the gain at 5 and my guitar volume knocked back quite a bit.
