Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Red' setting boosts mid frequencies, providing more clarity and tightness for heavier styles, while 'Off' offers a more scooped, vintage distortion tone.
While it’s a high-gain pedal, the Revv’s design keeps noise relatively well-controlled; it’s generally very usable for recording, especially with careful gain staging.
The G4 offers a more refined, amp-like distortion with a wider frequency response than the DS-1, and a more versatile tonal palette than the RAT, which is more focused on a specific vintage distortion character.
