Findingagreatsound:FAQ
Q.WhatcanIdotoimprovethefrequencyresponseofapreset?
A. Use an EQ or change the tonestack of an amp, but most of all, experiment with the speakers. A
surprisingly large part of the sound comes from the speakers.
Most amps have bass, mid and treble controls to adjust the tonestack’s lter parameters. You
should assume the default values are actually the best for most users, for that amp. However, the
power of Revalver is the ability to experiment with all aspects of an amp’s design.
Remember one important thing: every EQ you use before an amp will aect the frequency range
of the distoron harmonics. If you only wish to ne-tune the sound of a preset, primarily use the
EQ the farthest down the chain as possible.
Q.HowmuchdoesthesoundoftheGuitarmaer?
A. It maers a lot! One must never think that the nal sound is the same if you switch to another
Guitar. The sound of a single -coiled pickup is very dierent from that of a humbucker pickup.
Everybody has their favorite, and the sound and feeling diers as much as any two amps.
Q.DothetonestacksinReValverMKIIIactuallysoundlikethe“originals”?
A. Yes. The soware version of the tonestacks are very similar to those on the original amps. All
capacitors, resistors and pots have been accurately modeled.
Q.Whataboutthepresencecontrols?
A. The presence controls are usually not a part of the tonestack but are part of the power amp.
Most amps use “negave feedback” to control distoron and output linearity of the power stage.
By applying a lter in the feedback path, and controlling this lter with a knob, a very nice mid/
high-mid presence can be achieved.
Q.AretheampsinReValver®MKIIImodeledaerrealamps?
A. Most of them are. The program is able to model about 90-95% of the electronic components
in any given real amp, including the tubes, diodes, lters, transformers, power supply and more.
When modeling a real amp in ReValver MK III, the original or reissue schemacs have been used.
Somemes a blend of schemacs were used, and some amps have components that were
tweaked by ear aerward and do not totally match the original.
