Foo Revv G3

This capture documents the tonal character of a Revv G3 preamp pedal driving into a Two Rock amplifier, profiled using Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) for accurate digital reproduction of the analog signal chain. The Revv G3 is a versatile channel-switching preamp/overdrive pedal known for its wide gain range, from clean boost through high-gain saturation, making it a popular front-end gain stage for players who want amp-like drive characteristics in pedal form. When paired with a Two Rock amplifier — prized for its clean, articulate headroom and touch-sensitive dynamics — the combination yields a rich palette that ranges from glassy clean tones to thick, singing overdrive, with the Two Rock's natural amp compression and harmonic complexity providing the foundation that the G3's gain stages build upon. The signal chain also incorporates two supporting Xotic pedals that shape the captured tone: the Xotic SP Compressor, typically run always-on ahead of the drive stages to even out pick dynamics and add sustain before hitting the Revv G3's gain circuit, and the Xotic EP Booster, an EP-3 tape echo preamp-style boost pedal that adds midrange push, harmonic saturation, and output level compensation — often placed after the drive stages to add final polish and drive the amp's front end a bit harder. Together, this NAM capture aims to reproduce not just the Revv G3's gain character but the full interactive behavior of pedal-into-amp gain staging, giving digital rig users access to a nuanced, dynamic tone that responds to pick attack and volume changes much like the physical setup would.
