REVV Amplification has announced the launch of the Revv Dynamis D20 MK2, a major upgrade to its pioneering lunchbox-style tube head. The D20 MK2 retains the pure tube amplifier soul of its predecessor while introducing critical new features and refined circuitry, solidifying its position at the forefront of the cab-free recording revolution.
Designed with input from Nashville session players, the D20 MK2 delivers the unmistakable warmth and immediacy of tubes, making it an ideal platform for both the studio and the stage.
Pure Tube Tone and Refined Headroom
The D20 MK2 is powered by a classic complement of two 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of 6V6 power tubes, capable of delivering everything from sparkling cleans to rich, crunchy overdrive. The updated circuitry provides enhanced headroom, giving players more dynamic range and pedal versatility.
Revv has incorporated two key front-panel features for expanded tonal control:
- Digital Reverb: A lush, integrated digital reverb adds depth and dimension, eliminating the need for an external effects pedal.
- Bright Switch: A new Bright switch offers instant high-end articulation, allowing players to fine-tune their sound for different guitars or genres.
For home use or quiet studio tracking, the D20 MK2 includes 4-watt power scaling alongside its full 20-watt mode. This allows users to push the 6V6 power tubes into sweet saturation at manageable, apartment-friendly volumes.
Two Notes Tech: The Heart of Cab-Free Recording
The core of the D20 MK2’s versatility is its continued integration of Two Notes technology. A built-in reactive load and virtual cabinet simulator mean players can leave their speaker cabinets at home.
This technology allows you to plug the amp directly into a recording interface, mixing console, or headphones via the balanced XLR output or dedicated headphone jack, delivering a polished, miked-cab sound every time.
The Two Notes integration offers unparalleled flexibility:
- Onboard Cabs: Six onboard virtual cabinet slots are available, providing instant access to classic speaker sounds.
- Massive Expansion: This can be expanded up to 128 virtual cabinets via MIDI, making the amp instantly adaptable to any sonic requirement.
- Virtual Power Amps: Players can even swap in simulated power amp sections—from the focused attack of EL34s to the smooth warmth of 6L6s—to perfectly match their tone to the gig or track.
The Ultimate Pedal Platform
The D20 MK2 is engineered as the definitive pedal platform. Its straightforward 3-band EQ (Treble, Mid, Bass) and ultra-transparent buffered series FX loop ensure that your favorite stompboxes, whether overdrives, delays, or modulation, shine through with pristine clarity. A footswitchable boost is also included, providing an easy-to-engage volume lift for solos.
Price & Availability
The Revv Dynamis D20 MK2 is now available for purchase, priced at $1,349. For modern guitarists seeking the uncompromised feel of a tube head coupled with revolutionary direct recording technology, the D20 MK2 represents a powerful and innovative solution.
