NAD Just ordered this REVV D 20
,I just now found and ordered this Limited Run, Red REVV D 20 tube Amp head
It is basically a 20 watt (2 6V6 ) switchable to 4 watt. But with Two Notes cab simulation and speaker load built in So you can run it as a straight 20 watt tube amp head, or you can skip a physical speaker cab and use one of the tweakable 6 preset cab sims or download and select up to 128 different emulations all adjustable as well as selection of different virtual tubes ,,,, and run direct to front of house live , or into a DAW for recording, or just use the Headphone out for silent practice I will be paring it with this Port City Amps 2 X 12 vertical cabinet I just ordered also Guess my Christmas is covered with a mix of one WGS Veteran 30 , and one WGS ET65 speakers ( been looking at Port City cabs and amps for couple years now and am really excited) I will review and post photos once they arrive, unfortunately the Port City Cab is 30 days out

The looks sweet. I use Torpedo cab emulations in my DAW from time to time and they sound really good and are very tweakable.

Congrats! I know you’ve been researching them for a while. My son loves the Revv line. He’s been using a G4 dirt pedal on his live board. It sounds really, really good. He’s been researching the amps as well.
Side note, he ordered a Keisel a month and a half ago. He’s anxiously awaiting its arrival. I think it’s down to the 2 weeks or sooner mark now. We’ve watched nothing but Keisel videos the last few weeks lol. Looks like a pretty impressive company. I’ll post pics of it once it arrives. Please keep us posted on the Revv and the Port City.

Saw your reference to the REV D20 in the recent Supro post, then googled it, and there you were getting info on Gearslutz. Was really impressed by the Shawn Tubbs video. Hope it arrives soon - and am waiting for your review. Looks like a really sweet amp.

Wow, glad I stopped to read this thread. This amp looks very interesting. Please do post a review when you can.
You were wondering about Kiesel guitars. Kiesel is the old Carvin guitar shop. I have two Carvins (pre-Kiesel): an H2 Holdsworth and a headless HH2 Holdsworth that is similar to Song's guitar. They are fantastic. The H2 in particular is a "never sell, bury it with me" guitar. Fit and finish is great and they are a lot of instrument for the dollar(s). If I needed another electric, I would look at Kiesel first.

I'm a Kiesel fanboy. I've bought 7 builds, some of them gift builds for friends. So yeah I think they're quality and finishes are excellent. And once I tried a headless electric I was sold. Johnny Hiland used to have a PRS signature model. Now he has a Kiesel. https://youtu.be/ZBGQMn5Nkc8 |

Thanks for all the replies much appreciated . Yes I will try to do a good review. Revv has been outstanding on communication so far, they just messaged me again, it is supposed to be here Friday (but with this winter storm we will see) In any case the REVV will be here long before the Speaker which being a "build to order" is 30 days out on lead time. But they were also having a Black Friday 15% sale so I jumped on that as well.
Port City Amplification is a small boutique builder of amps (very traditional type tube amps) and his own patented Wave Cabinets. Although not well known they do tend to get rave reviews . But I do have a Supro 1X12 Extension Cab, I will be using as soon as he amp gets here. Which I will then compare to the Port City when it arrives. Yes I have been looking at this amp since Jan. NAMM 2019 and decided to jump on the 15% Black Friday discount and this limited run in Red. Bright Red and Black happen to be our colors, started with Horse show & Ranch colors, (back when we were showing horses) and includes our truck, horse trailer striping, and our cars , as well as my avatar ! one of my wifes color pencil originals , (I know kinda weird but works for us )

Here are some quick videos of the Port City cabs and amps, both of these are the the flagship model 2 X 12 OS (oversize) Vertical Wave (reported to be close to 4 X12 output and presence in much smaller and lighter cabinet) . I opted for the smaller and 11 lbs lighter @ 47 lbs regular size , 2X12 Vertical Wave.

Kev - Congrats! I'm not familiar with REVV. Are they a boutique builder? Last edited by KevWind; 11-28-2019 at 05:03 PM. Reason: meant to quote not edit |
