The Revv Generator 120 MKIII 10th-anniversary edition takes the company's flagship amp, gives it artist-requested circuit tweaks, and dresses it up to commemorate Revv's decennial. This 120-watt, 4-channel tube head does it all ? articulate high-gain, crushing sludge, pushed crunch, and no-compromise cleans ? all the tones are in there. And there's plenty of room for customization, thanks to an array of sonic-sculpting controls, including powerful, per-channel 3-band EQs. You also get convenient power scaling, a serial effects loop for your pedals and processors, a studio-quality digital reverb and noise gate, and stage-worthy Bluetooth and MIDI control capabilities. To top it off, the Generator 120 MKIII boasts a stereo-out reactive load and cabinet simulator, powered by Two Notes Torpedo-embedded technology. Make no bones about it, the Generator 120 MKIII 10th-anniversary edition is a triple-digit-watt fire-breather. No matter what hard-hitting genre you prefer ? thrash, death, doom, black, or sludge metal; metalcore, deathcore, or grindcore; hardcore punk or crust punk; neoclassical, symphonic, or speed metal ? this high-gain titan will exceed all expectations.

Brimming with player-friendly features





The Generator 120 MKIII 10th-anniversary edition starts with four revoiced channels of signature Revv tone, including their Purple channel, which is celebrated for its tight, articulate sound, and their Red channel, which is lauded for its fat, saturated sound. And, as you'd expect from Revv, both channels deliver punishing levels of gain. Per-channel 3-channel EQs eliminate tonal compromises when switching between clean, crunch, and high-gain tones. Global Wide, Drive, and Aggression switches put a myriad of saturated textures at your disposal. Bright switches add extra bite and presence when it's called for, while midrange-sculpting Cut switches allow you to toggle between a bright, biting sound and a deeper, scooped-style distortion on the overdrive channels. You also get a Fat switch on both drive channels to thicken your high-gain tones. Power scaling facilitates muscular tones at bedroom-friendly levels, while a serial effects loop accommodates your pedals and other processors. A configurable and bypassable digital reverb and noise gate yield a polished, studio-quality result. The Generator 120 MKIII plays well with a variety of cabinets, too, thanks to a switchable 4-/8-/16-ohm speaker jack. You also get an easily accessible bias test and fuse.





Embedded Two Notes Torpedo tech for stereo, cab-free cacophony





With just the Revv Generator 120 MKIII 10th-anniversary-edition and a PA, you have everything you need to obtain a larger-than-life miked-cab tone, thanks to embedded Two Notes Torpedo technology and the amp head's stereo XLR outputs. Select between six customizable virtual cabinets via the amp's front panel; if that's not enough for you, you can access up to 128 via MIDI as well. You can use the Generator 120 MKIII's EL34-loaded power amp or bypass it and change the amp's character with a simulated power section. KT66s? 6V6s? EL84s? 6L6s? The options are endless. You also get the Two Notes Twin Tracker stereo doubler, an equalizer, an enhancer, and more ? all editable via Bluetooth. Best of all, the Generator 120 MKIII is a complete standalone solution: a reactive load automatically engages when a speaker isn't present to safeguard your amp. Whether you go direct to FOH, an audio interface, or headphones, the Generator 120 MKIII delivers awesome tone with killer effects ? in stereo!





Delivers killer tube tones





It's easy to get distracted by the Generator 120 MKIII 10th-anniversary edition's endless array of sonic toys. But even without its modern feature set, it's a killer amp. At Sweetwater, we bypassed all the embedded tech and cranked it up, and everyone agreed that it's a winner. Its clean tones are warm and inspiring, and they make a top-notch platform for gain pedals. Its high-gain tones are downright raging ? tight, full, and expressive. And its straightforward front-panel controls give you a lot of tonal space to maneuver in.
