Revv’s high-gain head comes loaded with Two Notes Torpedo making it perfect for stage and studio – a small footprint with a huge sound

Founded in 2014 by Dan Trudeau and Derek Eastveld and based in Winnipeg, Canada, Revv Amplification is the go-to backline for artists as diverse as metal god Jeff Loomis and Nashville session star Jeff King, along with many of Canada’s best-known rock guitarists. Like most amp manufacturers, Revv saw the potential of a compact ‘lunchbox’ product but wanted to take things to a new level. Its D20 head certainly achieved that, being the world’s first amplifier to integrate the award-winning Two Notes Torpedo reactive load and cabinet emulation technology.

Now, Revv has shifted its lunchbox offering up a gear with the G20 lunchbox head, which features its flagship Generator amp’s high-gain ‘Purple’ channel and increased tonal flexibility.

Like its stablemate D20, the G20 is compact and portable thanks in part to an accurately cut and folded aluminum chassis, which helps offset the weight of two substantial transformers. It’s an understated yet smart design finished in polished black enamel, with conventional control knobs on a black fascia and illuminated push-button switches. There’s a hefty chrome carry handle that can be folded down as needed. The front of the G20’s cover is dominated by a large ‘Revv’ logo that lights up when the amp is switched on and changes colour depending on which channel is selected.
