Revv Generator 100w1.3
set up & power up
It is very important to place the amplifi-
er in a dry location that provides 4-6” of
space between the rear of the amplifier
and anything in the area that has been
designated for the amplifier. Tubes
produce heat, and anything flammable
should be kept away. Verify that the top
heat vent is free from obstruction so
that the heat produced by the tubes can
escape from the interior of the amplifier.
Now have a quick look at the tubes and
make sure they are all seated in their
sockets. Look good? We are ready to
move on!
First, make sure that the power and
standby switches are in the off (down)
positions. Connect the amplifier to a
speaker cabinet using a good quality
speaker cable and set the impedance
switch to the required impedance
setting (See 3.5). Next, connect the AC
power cord to the amplifier Mains con-
nector on the rear of the amplifier and
then to an AC outlet.
At this point, all other peripherals can
be connected to the amplifier as well:
Foot Switch (See 3.9)
MIDI (See 3.8)
FX Loop (See section 4 )
Line Out (See 3.5)
Guitar and cable (See 2.1)
Note: A good quality, shielded instrument
cable is recommended for guitar input
as well as FX loop connections to prevent
unwanted noise. Cables can color the
sound of a guitars signal, and sometimes
trying different cable lengths, can provide
a desired sound.
Once all your connections are made,
move the power switch to the On po-
sition and give the tubes at least one
minute to warm up. Now is a great time
to begin setting all controls while we
wait. We recommend setting the master
volume, channel level and gain controls
to the lowest setting or zero (fully count-
er clockwise) and all treble, mid and
bass controls to the 12 o’clock positions
to begin. Set the bright and contour
switches to the down position, the
standby switch to the Revv (up) position
and you are ready to begin exploring!
Note: Upon power up, you will have
noticed that all channel LED’s light up
for a couple of seconds and then only the
Channel 1 LED remains lit. This is normal
as the amp does a start up sequence at
power up then arms channel one to begin.
This sequence will also assist you when
setting other modes which will be touched
on later in the manual.
