The Revv G3 Purple Channel Preamp Overdrive V2 delivers the tight articulate high-gain tones that put Revv on the map. First introduced in 2018 the original G3 quickly became a benchmark for modern metal distortion offering mix-ready clarity without the need for additional boost pedals. This updated V2 revision refines that formula with added low-end sag and increased gain range giving players more usable flexibility while preserving the signature focus and precision of the Purple channel. Designed as a fully analogue “amp-in-a-box” the G3 is optimised for clean amp channels FX returns standalone power amps and hybrid modelling setups. Its three Aggression voices powerful 3-band EQ and tight response allow it to move seamlessly from classic high gain to modern downtuned brutality. Whether youre chasing articulate rhythm tones or fluid lead sustain the G3 V2 delivers authoritative distortion with professional-level clarity and control.

Preamp & DI Pedals
A preamp brings an instrument signal to a controlled level and shapes its impedance, gain and frequency balance before amplification or recording. A DI converts the signal for a balanced, low-impedance connection and may include ground lift, pad and transformer isolation. Combined units can add drive, cabinet filtering, effects loops and parallel outputs while keeping the direct path stable.
Tags
Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
Hybrid
Combines analogue and digital stages within one signal or control design. A digital section may provide memory, routing or modelling while analogue circuitry supplies clipping, filtering or amplification, so the order and blend of the two domains shape the final response.
Overdrive
Uses moderate clipping and gain-dependent compression to add harmonics while retaining much of the original note contour. Bass filtering, mid emphasis, clipping symmetry and available headroom decide whether it sounds open and amplifier-like, tightly focused or heavily saturated.
