INTRO
Congratulations and welcome to the Revv family! Thank you for trusting
Revv Amplification with such an important part of your musical endeavors.
Enjoy tone, durability, and ease of use designed to inspire.
Please note that this manual applies to both our Dynamis head & combo
amplifiers.They feature the same tone & controls - the only difference is in
setup & safety instructions given the combos have built in speaker(s).The
short version is to leave the speaker plugged into your combo, & never
turn on your head without using the right cabinet.

safety instructions & warnings
Please read, understand and follow all safety instructions in this manual,
as well as those on the rear panel of the amplifier. These instructions and
warnings must be followed for your safety, and also to ensure that the am-
plifier will serve you for many years. Please use common sense when
operating, this instrument is designed for electric guitar amplification, and
should only be used with electric guitar signals.
• Do not store or operate the amplifier in
damp/wet areas.
• Do not keep items that contain liquid
on or near the amplifier
• Allow for 4-6 inches of space around
the unit when operating. This unit
produces heat and should be kept
away from flammable items/objects.
• Do not expose the amplifier to high
temperature, keep away from radiators
or heat producing/supplying items.
• Be sure to connect to an AC power
supply that meets the power supply
specifications listed on the rear of the
unit.
• Do not use an AC power cord that is
damaged, has been pinched or is miss-
ing prongs.
• This amplifier must be properly
grounded to local standards when
being operated. Do not use 2 pole
extension or power cords to supply
power to this amplifier.
• Remove the AC power cord from the
amplifier when changing tubes, fuses
or when moving the amplifier. Always
replace fuses with the correct type
and rating. Always remove AC power
cord when removing chassis.
• The AC power cord should be
removed from the outlet when left
unused for long periods or when there
is risk of electrical storms.
• No user serviceable parts inside, all
service should be done by qualified
personnel only.
• Always make certain the proper load
is connected to the amplifier before
operating. Always make connections
to the amplifier with the power off.
• Your amplifier is designed to produce
high volume/sound pressure levels.
Long term exposure to these levels
can damage your hearing. Please use
hearing protection when exposed to
these levels for extended periods to
prevent loss of hearing or hearing
damage.
• Keep away from children.

set up & power up
Only keep your Revv in a dry place that keeps 6” of space between the
rear and any other objects. Tubes produce heat, and anything flammable
should be kept away.
First,make sure that the power and standby switches are in the off (down)
positions. Next, connect the AC power cord to the amplifier Mains con-
nector on the rear of the amplifier - then to an AC outlet. At this point, all
other peripherals can be connected to the amplifier as well: Foot Switch,
FX Loop, Guitar, and cable
Note: A high quality, shielded instrument cable is recommended for guitar
input as well as FX loop connections to prevent unwanted noise.
Once all your connections are made, move the power switch to the On
position 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 counterclockwise) and all treble,mid and bass controls to the
12 o’clock positions to begin. Now set the standby switch to the Revv (up)
position and you are ready start!
Note: Upon power up, you will notice that all LED’s light up for a couple
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.

Front Panel Layout
Input
1/4” Instrument cable input.
Low Input
This input jack is to be used with guitars that have high output or active
pickups if you desire a cleaner sound & it provides the proper circuit to
keep the tone of the amp articulate & prevent unwanted compression &
noise. If you are finding the tone weak to your personal tastes - do not
hesitate to plug any guitar into the normal input to experiment with new
sounds. This operation is safe & will just hit the front end of the amp
harder if you are going for that sound.
Normal Input
This input jack is to be used with guitars that have passive pickups &
require high impedance for proper signal transfer.This jack is designed
to get the strongest signal from a passive pickup to the first tube stage.

Channel One (Clean)
Selected by: 1) pushing the designated front panel momentary toggle
switch up (LED turns blue), 2) footswitch button #1 or a footswitch
preset mode setting, 3) MIDI & CC commands.
Passive treble, middle, bass, & level controls with a wide range. Small
turns = large tonal change!
Bright changes top end response for a more sparkly tone. It is normally
best to choose the bright setting you prefer (on or off) & then dial treble
to taste. Also useful when switching between humbuckers & single coils!
Very warm & full-bodied clean channel. Takes pedals very well - or
decrease power to 7 watts for a more broken up sound with the Output
Power Switch. Channel output power is independent so you can use
this to control both tone & volume separately from the gain channel.
2.2
Revv Owner’s Manual - 8
Channel Two (Distortion)
Selected by: 1) pushing the designated front panel momentary toggle
switch up (LED turns red), 2) footswitch button #2 or a footswitch preset
mode setting, 3) MIDI & CC commands.
Gain, treble, mid, bass & level (volume) control knobs with a wide range
of operation - small adjustment = large tonal change!
The Dynamis contains 3 Dynamic Levels: crunch (green), open gain
(blue), & warm high saturation (red).This is an idea we borrowed from
the Generator’s Aggression Modes & applied to the Dynamis’ vintage
tones.You could easily cycle through these for crunch, rhythm & lead, or
find the mode you like the feel of best & always use it for all of your gain
tones!
2.3
Revv Owner’s Manual - 9
These dynamic levels can be cycled through both by repeatedly press-
ing the designated momentary toggle switch & by repeatedly pressing
the Channel #2 footswitch.
The amplifier has a midrange focus & to modify this you can either slight-
ly dial back the mid control or switch between the two Contour options
for a bright upper-mid focused sound (on) or a thick lower-mid focused
sound (off).
The Bright switch also controls Channel 2 (independently) & as above
can be set to taste to help you find your desired top end response.
As with Channel One, Channel Two has an independent 40 watt / 7 watt
Output Power Switch. 7w mode will help achieve satisfying sounds at
lower volume and/or give you the option of a tone featuring more power
amp saturation. All else being equal this will result in a more broken up
oldschool sound, compared against letting the preamp take care of
much of the gain in the higher headroom 40w mode.

Reverb, Level, & Decay Switches
The Dynamis includes a lush onboard reverb with 3 decay lengths.
These decay lengths & the level of the reverb are independently con-
trollable per channel using the front panel controls.
Upon startup, reverb is engaged with a short decay. To turn reverb on or
off, simply press the reverb toggle switch in the up position. The LED will
turn on or off depending on the setting.To cycle through different decay
options, simply press the toggle switch down towards the decay posi-
tion. The decay options are indicated by LED: short decay (off), medium
decay (blue), long decay (Red).
Note: These levels can be cycled through by holding footswitch button
#4. Reverb can be turned on & off entirely with a single momentary
press of button #4.
