Revv G2 vs. G3 - Which is for YOU? w/ Shawn Tubbs

We get a lot of questions about the overlap of G2 & G3. If you're playing mostly classic distortion tones, do you want to use the upper gain ranges of the G2, or the more subtle settings of the G3? While you can get similar amounts of gain - they sound & FEEL quite different!

Shawn Tubbs uses his @fender USA Ultra Stratocaster to demonstrate the differences and talk feel so you can make the best decision on which is best for you, or even why you may want to use them together.

Another killer demo, Shawn. Thank you.

Thanks Shawn, I love my G3, and it cleans up really well with the right amp too. With the guitar volume around 50% thru the G3 (blue channel gain cranked) I can get the sweetest clean-crunch tone. You can’t get a bad sound out of these pedals, amazing tones all around. They sound so close to the amps I don’t even want the amp anymore...ok maybe a little 😁.

5:02 I hear a "Qua...Qua..." At the very beginning when he hits chords. It almost sounds like a really subtle wah pedal but only lasts a fraction of a second

Shawn, I have learned much about a large variety of pedals via watching your very well presented and informative videos. Not just great playing on your part (I've grabbed some of your 2 and 3 lower string rhythm chops :) ), but, also the fact that you continually go back and forth from your different pedal settings, play some examples from each setting...and....you ALWAYS go back and show us viewers how you've got the pedal set in re gain, volume, eq, toggle switches, etc. in order to get those sounds. Keep it up, my bruddah! And I'll keep tryin' my best to learn a few new goodies from you and your videos. T'anks, man...

G2 = 70's
G3 = 80's
G4 = KORN

[giancarlopaolini]

I agree with you ...two is better than one ....and since I got one already (G3) ...I'll have the G2 on my purchase list :-)

[dfifty]

The tone on the neck position (6:58) is amazing

[fredrikpihl]

Got both pedals and love them both!!! Revv FTW!!

My gain pedal search pretty much ended when I found a RevvG3. I've been using it in front of my Marshall DSL40CR, and now in front of my Soldano SLO30.
I've been considering buying another G3 for a spare. However, after watching this video, I'm considering adding a G2 to my signal chain, as well. These pedals are really that good sounding.

G2 for me. I have it and a D20. Couldn’t be happier

[trahnettilhcs]

Thanks for this, Shawn. Appreciate the detailed comparison. Both feel a little congested to me, but I prefer the G2 over the G3 for its less compressed nature.

[brevink]

Hi Shawn. When pushing a already dirty plexi amp, for heavier rhythm stuff, do you prefer the G2 over the G3? Thanks!

[DotyString]

I own the G3 and it’s badass. Does the G2 have as much dynamic response and feel as the G3?

[BalconyMusicStudios]

G2 but still a little to much gain for me and i feel a good amount of compression too.. Revv should do a low gain pedal till medium with less compression that would be awesome maybe a Shawn Tubbs Signature... ;)

[benradcliffe]

Shawn, what would you recommend for the most versatile sound...decent amount of gain, but able to handle the lower gain too. Zeppelin and Sabbath kinda sounds and for doomy kinda sounds on lower tunings, like Mastodon etc?

'So for soloing ...' @ 5:30 ?!!!

[matsnermark]

Hey Shawn! That sounds spectacularly good. Are you running the D20 direct or did you use a speaker/microphone?

[barrylafratta]

g-2 comming today . what is that chord your playing . you go to a to a almost g but with your fist finger low i love it..

[mr.novemberfoxtrot]

Between the 2, 3, or 4; which would be the most appropriate for an EVH brown sound? Guessing G3 or G4?

[againstthelight]

i got G3 but my problem was it creates too much noise or humming.
