got my revelation yesterday!!!

Post by Jack Ritter »

got my rev pre-amp and rack assy from brad yesterday and, not being the smartest guy about electronics, he helped me get it all set up. he also sent me a TC m-350 delay and reverb unit to use with it. i played it thru my n-112 as a powered speaker. when i fired it up and played, i was astounded. i could not believe my ears!
great warm and full sound and really balanced .
took it to a gig last nite and guys in the band went wild over the difference it made. i believe they were as pleased as i.
thanks , Brad for the rev pre-amp which i think is the greatest!! and all the help!!

Welcome to the "Rev" users clan!

Like I've said before, the Revelation isn't a "faddish" piece of gear. It's already a classic you will use after others have come and gone.

OH HOW SWEET IT IS!!!!!
I used mine the same way {N112s} for a while and it was great, but now i'm using a mosvalve 500 with 2 Marrs cabs loaded with 1203-4s and "WOW" it got even better.
Congradulations!!

Lest y'all think this is a one trick pony, my Revelation is gradually replacing a slew of guitar amps in general use. Brad claims to have reimplemented the Fender front end and tone stack, and IMHO he's nailed it. In fact, I think he's actually kept the tones and improved the usability: variable impedance, gain control, more flexible tone shaping...

I haven't tried feeding the Rev into a battery of McIntoshes into a bunch of Hard Truckers 4x12's (I don't have a stadium to destroy), but I'm tempted :D

SPLIT

Post by Pete Smith »

Jack,the SPLIT has more than 3 times the power and weighs 12 or 13 pounds less than a 112. It is a little smaller too.

Jack, I got my REV about 21/2 weeks ago, and also hooked it up with M-350 into my NV-112,LOVE IT... I am lucky enough to afford it,it's worth saving up to get one,alot of sound to play with, Brad also helped me with all hook up info,I also get confused with input,send,output,return,left,right outputs.. Brad was great helping me out. I am a effects junky,and use alot of BOSS effects on my 6 strings,tryed plugging the boss effects into the REV, but that was a night mare,they hook up totally diffrent than the M-350, also loaded them into a 4 space Gator powered rack, sits nice right next the my steel,easy to adjust any settings, Well, enjoy your REV, I am..LOVING IT....Have a great day, Dave

yes-David,
when i e-mailed Brad and told him i needed help with hooking the system up, he sent me immediately a set of instructions that even I could understand and also some basic settings as a starting point.
took about 15 minutes to get it hooked up. nuthin to it if ya know what your doing. played 2ng gig last nite at Enid Moose Lodge and boy howdy,----what a rig!!!
what a sound!!! using the n-112 in the system sounds fine, also.
Brad is a super nice guy to deal with.always very helpful and will definately steer you in the right direction. Jack-
glad i joined the "Revelation Revolution"!!!

What are you guys using for a reverb unit with the Rev?
Does the Rev have stereo inputs/outputs?

Larry I'm using a TC M300 for reverb and a little delay, as I believe Brad does as well - it was him that recommended this unit to me.

effects

Post by Pete Smith »

I'm also using the M300. I've had it for quite a while and I like it. The Rev has stereo outs, but they're not
independently controllable for output. What you can do, though, is send different effects to either side, or in my case send one side to my TC Furlong SPLIT, and the other side to the house mixer. I dont know what the FOH mix guy does with it but I'm lovin' my stage sound. Go to steelguitarblackbox.com and check it out.

i am using the new m350 tc electronics that Brad recomended and like it extremely well. it is user freindly , which is what i need not being the greatest on electronics. it has reverb and delay in the unit.
i also just ordered a TC Furlong "split" powered cabinet a bit ago and am anxious to get it. gonna try it with and without the n-112 just for grins. the places i play i really just need 1 amp , but everbody that has the split seems to really like them, so----i got 1 coming.!!
if you want to see and find about them, he has a new website at:www.tcfurlongcustom.com
