Revv D20 MK2 – 20/4-Watt Tube Head – Joey Landreth Brown Face Edition New | In Stock

Joey Landreth is a longtime Revv collaborator & award-winning touring & recording artist known for his baritone slide playing, impeccable phrasing, & deep appreciation of high quality guitar gear. The D20 JL features the same boutique tube clean / edge of breakup tones & direct performance technology as the D20 MK2 with custom voicing tweaks for Joey as well as his unique tolex, grille, chassis, & knob choices. Perfect with or without pedals, & with or without a cabinet, the D20 JL makes for a fantastic, portable centerpiece of your rig no matter how simple or complex.

Versatile ‘clean’ tones
Revv’s Dynamis clean tone is inspired by the classic Californian amps heard on countless albums with a few key changes. The Bright switch unlocks extra high end chime essential to so many genres. We say ‘clean’ tones because it has a wide gain range that can get quite crunchy but always stays together. We also took inspiration from D-style amps for a character in the mids that always cuts through.

Reactive Load & IRs
The D20 MK2 is a great tube amp to crank through your favorite cab. Do you have to use the direct capabilities? No. Will you want to? Definitely. The XLR-out provides a consistent mix-ready tone every time that still feels  & sounds like a tube amp – because it is! It works great for silent stages, recording, headphone practice & you can even edit & load your own IRs & add post-FX. 

The technical details
Unlike the original D20, D20 JL’s gain boost (which substantially changes the voicing of the amp) can be activated via MIDI or the included footswitch for ‘2-channel’ versatility. It also includes lush digital reverb & a transparent buffered FX loop for your favorite pedals. You can switch the power section from 20W to 4W, & despite its new tolexed headshell it only weighs ~16 lbs.

Joey’s custom mods
Joey’s style calls for a tight low end & fast attack that can handle lots of pedals & effects. Like the D25 JL, the D20JL has voicing changes to achieve a warm but clear sound. While slide in Open C with 19-65 gauge strings may sound niche, many players of all kinds told us they really liked the midrange of Joey’s custom voicing & found that it excels at slightly dirty tones.
