55 USA & Canada Compliance
We are a small company out of Winnipeg, Canada. Years ago, I set out to make an amplifier that
delivers the sound guitarists need that isn't in other amps, one that is extremely versatile in the tone
and application. Luckily, when other musicians played my early prototypes, they agreed! The tone was
fresh, unique and they all needed an amp for themselves! I quickly built a team of people as passionate
about guitar as I am, and Revv was born. To be honest, it grew bigger and faster than I had ever
hoped...
It has since been a long hard journey being a small business filled with long nights and people who
didn’t believe in us. After endless tweaking and customer feedback, I’m at a place where I know we are
building the best-sounding, durable, and most versatile amps that we can. It’s incredible hearing the
kind words of amazing guitar players using Revv around the world, and we are just getting started.
Thank you for believing in us and making this possible. Nothing makes this journey more fulfilling than
seeing musicians using what we’ve built to make music. That is what this is all about, making music.
Because we are still a small business, every little bit helps, and we would appreciate you sharing
pictures of your Revv gear on social media, using it to perform your music, or simply telling a friend
about it. Thank you for your support and for making music.

SETUP &
POWER UP FRONT PANEL
It is very important to place the amplifier in a dry location
that provides 4-6” of space between the rear of the
amplifier and anything in the area that is designated for
the amplifier. Tubes produce heat; anything flammable
should be kept away from amplifier tubes. Please
check the tubes, and make sure they are all seated in
their sockets. Look good? We are ready to move on!
First, ensure the power and standby switches are in
the o (down) positions. On the back of the amplifier,
confirm your D40 is safely connected to a load by
connecting either the D40 internal speaker cable to
the Speaker Jack or an external speaker cabinet to
the Ext Cabinet Jack and selecting the correct im-
pedance of the external speaker via the push button.
Alternatively, you can choose the internal load on the
Front Panel push button (In=internal load); for more
information, refer to Section “Two-notes Torpedo-Em-
bedded” Page 14. Once the speaker load is secured,
connect the AC power cord to the amplifier Mains
connector on the rear of the amplifier and then to an
AC outlet. Finally, connect any remaining peripherals:
Note: Use a high-quality shielded instrument cable
for guitar input and FX loop connections to prevent
unwanted noise. Remember that instrument cables can
sometimes impact the guitar’s signal quality, and trying
varying cable lengths can help achieve the desired
sound.
Once all speaker load and peripheral connections are
secured, move the power switch to the On position
and give the tubes at least one minute to warm up.
Now it is time to begin setting all controls while we
wait. We recommend setting the master volume
and gain controls to the lowest setting or zero (fully
counterclockwise) and all treble, mid, and bass controls
to the 12 o’clock positions to begin. Set the standby
switch to the ON (up) position, and you are ready to
start exploring!
Note: Upon power-up, you may notice that the LED
clipping indicator illuminates solid red. This is the
startup sequence of the amplifier.
INPUT 1
1⁄4” Instrument cable input.
CHANNEL 1 (CLEAN) 2
Selected by: 1. Pushing the designated front panel
button, 2. Foot switch button #1 or a foot switch preset
mode setting, 3. MIDI & CC commands. Passive treble,
middle, & bass controls with a wide range. Small turns
equal large tonal change,
CHANNEL 2 (CRUNCH) 3
Selected by: 1. Pushing the designated front panel
button, 2. Footswitch button #2 or a footswitch preset
mode setting, 3. MIDI & CC commands. Passive treble,
middle, & bass controls with a wide range. Small turns
equal large tonal change,
BRIGHT BUTTON 4
This button allows you to achieve a brighter or warmer,
crunch/dirt tone without compromising the full range
of your treble knob. This is also useful when using gain
pedals that are picky about which amp they are boosting,
BOOST BUTTON 5
The boost push button is also shared between the
two channels. When activated, it will produce a bolder,
more robust tone. This function adds gain and boosts
all frequencies. It’s another great way to shape your
sound, as you can use this function with MIDI or presets
on your foot control.
REVERB BUTTON 6
The reverb on the amplifier is toggled on and o with
the reverb button (MIDI control is also available). When
the LED is illuminated, reverb is inserted into the guitar
signal. The two channels share this button, but they
can be set independently of one another.
The reverb level control on the rear of the amplifier is
then set according to the amount of reverb desired,
and the decay control next to it will then set how long it
takes to have the reflections fade out. These powerful
controls allow you to shape your reverb sound in many
dierent ways!

MASTER VOLUME CONTROLS 7
The D40 is equipped with 2 MIDI & Foot-Switchable/
programmable master volume controls. These controls
come right after the eects loop & also work as the
FX loop return signal control. These controls can be
toggled from one to the other for complete volume
control. The controls can be toggled via the foot switch
button #4 (or programmed bank) or via MIDI.
STORE BUTTON 8
The store switch on the amplifier is important and
serves many purposes, from MIDI settings to save
channel settings. This is all covered in dierent parts
of the manual depending on what you are looking to
accomplish.
DEPTH & PRESENCE 9
The Depth control is a bass control & will add some low
end to the output. This control will be subtle in certain
settings but more pronounced in others. For example,
very low gain settings will only provide subtle results.
Whereas higher channel gain settings will result in a
more pronounced depth control range.
The Presence control has a great range of use! This
control can be very powerful when brightening up the
amp and adding amazing cut!
HEADPHONE JACK 10
The Headphone Jack output lets you use the amplifier
with any selected virtual cabinet settings through your
headphones directly from the Two-notes Torpedo-
embedded. Use headphones & engage the internal
reactive load to inspire silent playing. Please note for
your safety that both the Volume Control & the following
Output Level Control both aect headphone volume.
Note: The power delivered by the headphone output is
high enough to remain ecient even when using high-
impedance headphones. Therefore, getting very high
audio levels with that output is possible. We strongly
advise against the use of headphones with high audio
levels. The improper use of headphones can lead to
irreversible damage to your hearing.
OUTPUT LEVEL & CLIP LED 11
The Output Level knob controls the master volume
of the Two-notes Torpedo-embedded, which uses
the direct-XLR-out on the rear of the amplifier and
the headphone jack. If you see the Clip Warning LED
illuminate, you must turn the Output Level down to
avoid undesirable, harsh digital clipping.
VIRTUAL CABINET CONTROL 12
This 6-position control will switch through the first
six presets of the Two-notes DynIR library saved to
your D40. Included on your amplifier by default are 6
Revv DynIR presets created by Shawn Tubbs. You can
change the DynIR’s and all of their options by using
Two-notes Remote software, connected via USB on the
rear of the amplifier. Up to 128 presets can be saved via
MIDI.
Note: See Torpedo Remote & Active Load Section on
Page 15 for more information.
BLUETOOTH REMOTE 13
Your amplifier utilizes Bluetooth technology to access
the two notes technology for on the fly changes via
Two-notes Remote app.
STANDBY & POWER SWITCH 14
First, turn on the power switch and wait a minute for
the tubes to warm up. Turn the standby switch to the on
position once you are ready to play.
Note: NEVER power up the amplifier without the proper
speaker load connected or the reactive load switch
engage.
BACK PANEL
MAIN POWER CONNECTION 15
When plugging the amplifier into the mains A/C wall
receptacle, always make sure the amplifier power and
standby switches are in the o position. The Required
voltage and fuse ratings are marked on the amplifier
underneath the mains input. Verify they are correct for
your electrical mains supply before plugging it in.
The mains input is a 2-part assembly on the D40; not
only will it allow you to plug the amplifier power cable
into it, but the main fuse is also a part of the assembly.
Should the fuse ever blow on the amplifier, you will also
find the fuse in this assembly. A spare fuse compartment
is built-in to keep a spare fuse with you. The fuse type
is marked on the rear of the amplifier.
MAINS & HT FUSES 16
The HT fuse is in place to protect you and the amplifier
from overload conditions. Always replace them with
the same type and rating only! Always unplug the
amplifier from the mains before replacing the fuses.
Fuse requirements are marked on the rear panel of the
amplifier. Mains Fuse: 100V: T4A, 120V: T4A
220V - 230V - 240V: T2.5A
FOOT SWITCH JACK 17
This connection powers your foot switch and allows
it to control the D40. Should the provided foot switch
cable fail, any 5 PIN DIN cable can be used. For use
only with the included Revv D40 foot switch.
Note: This cable sends important data between the
amplifier and the foot switch. If a lesser quality 5 PIN
DIN cable is used, incorrect or erratic behavior could
occur. A high-quality cable is recommended, which can
be purchased on the Revv website should you need a
replacement.
XLR OUTPUT & GROUND LIFT 18
In the rear of the amplifier is a direct output from the
embedded Two-notes Torpedo and not direct from the
tube amplifier output itself. The purpose of this output
is to be used with audio interfaces to exclude the use
of an actual speaker cabinet, using virtual cabinets
instead.
Note: The reverb or other eects that the Two-notes
Torpedo provides will only be available through the
output at the headphone or XLR jack and not a real
cabinet. The speaker output will always behave normally.

1110
REVV | Dynamis D40 REVV | Dynamis D40
The speaker output will always behave normally. As an
added bonus, some users will find this useful for “wet/
dry” setups in which they send a signal that utilizes
reverb to FOH (front of house), while playing through a
dry speaker.
The Ground Lift switch should be set to ground (pushed
in) for best results. However, if this produces a buzz or
hum because of ground loops between the amplifier
and the audio interface, press the ground lift switch to
eliminate noise.
Note: The level control under the headphone jack
controls your output level/volume to the XLR outputs.
The clip LED will illuminate if the signal is set too high.
BIAS TEST POINTS 19
This amplifier is designed to allow the user to set the
bias of the power tubes without removing the chassis
from the head shell. The power tube bias for the pair
of tubes needs to be set according to the tubes being
used. Always use a matched pair of power tubes in
your amplifier. (See Section “Tubes & Bias” Page 11 for
more information)
USB-B JACK 20
The USB Jack will connect your computer via the
provided USB cable to your D40 to use Two-notes
Remote software, which can be used for deep editing
of presets, creating new ones from scratch, or loading
third-party Impulse Responses!
REVERB LEVEL CONTROL 21
The reverb level control increases the intensity of the
reverb eect in your sound when the reverb switch on
the front panel is activated. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase reverb and counterclockwise to decrease the
Eect.
REVERB DECAY CONTROL 22
The reverb decay control will set the amount of
reflections from the reverb circuit. Increase the number
of reflections and the amount of time it takes to fade
out by turning the control clockwise. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to reduce this eect.
WATTAGE SWITCH 23
This latching push switch sets the overall power output
of the amplifier between 10 watts and 40 watts.
FX LOOP SEND & RETURN JACKS 24
The D40 features a high-quality buered, instrument-
level, FX loop. The send and return jacks connect to
any pedals or eect units you may want to use with the
amplifier.
Let’s go through it step by step, just in case you have
never used an eects loop and don’t know how to
hook it up.
The send jack will need to be connected to the input
Jack on your eects unit. The output jack on the eects
unit (or last pedal in your chain, if you are connecting
multiple eects in series in the loop) will then connect
back to the return jack on the amp.
Your eect is now part of the signal chain, verify that
your levels are set accordingly to the eect, so you
have a strong signal being sent to the amplifier, then
adjust the volume control on the amplifier to your
requirements.
INTERNAL LOAD SWITCH 25
This latching push switch engages the internal load
or allows a real speaker cab to be used when set
accordingly. If there are no speaker cabs connected to
the speaker jacks on the amplifier, the internal load will
be engaged automatically.
CABINET LIGHTING 26
The cabinet lighting jack on the rear of the amplifier
is used to connect the amp to Revv speaker cabinets.
Because the Revv badge on our cabinets lights up, you
can illuminate the cab badge with this jack. Simply use
the 4 pin Din cable provided with all Revv cabinets and
connect the amplifier to the cab lighting connector on
the cabinet.
IMPEDANCE & SPEAKER JACKS 27
The amplifier must always be connected to a speaker
cabinet or load when it is powered up and set to have
the internal load disengaged.
This amplifier can be used with cabinets that provide a
load of 4, 8 & 16 ohms. Because the amplifier provides a
number of speaker jacks with dierent impedance options,
it can also power 2 cabinets directly from the amplifier.
The speaker jacks must be used correctly for the
impedance to be matched between your amp and the
cabinets being connected.
Most setups are simple, one cabinet plugged into
the amp, select the impedance to that marked on the
cabinet & you’re ready to go!
However, when it comes to adding more cabinets to
the rig, more care must be taken to prevent damage.
Most rigs will not utilize more than 2 cabinets, so we
won’t go beyond 2
cabinets here.
Selects between 4 & 8 ohm impedance. This should be
set to 4 ohms for normal operation with D40’s combo
speaker.
Some examples:
• 2 - 8 ohm cabinets would be plugged into the
two 4 ohm speaker jacks (one per 8 ohm cab)
located on the back of the amplifier.
• 2 - 16 ohm cabinets would be plugged into the
two 8 ohm speaker jacks (one per 16 ohm cab)
located on the back of the amplifier.
• 2 - 4 ohm cabinets cannot be run in parallel
with this amplifier. This will cause damage.
Note: No damage will result when running the amplifier
set at a lower impedance (Ex: 4 ohms) into a cabinet
rated at a higher impedance (Ex: 8 Ohms). However the
opposite will cause damage to the output transformer
or other components & it is suggested that the amplifier
never be run into a lower load.
MIDI CONNECTION 28
The MIDI IN connection is for external equipment
connections when your rig necessitates control of your
Revv with third-party gear.
The MIDI through jack allows for the connection of
additional MIDI devices in your signal chain, in addition
to your Revv.
Note: See “MIDI” on page 13 for more information.
POWER TUBE FAULT FUSES 29
The power tubes each have their own fuse. Should a
power tube fail, the fuse will blow & take the tube out of
service. This has the benefit of protecting the amplifier,
but will result in a loss of normal operation.

TUBES &
BIASING
POWER TUBES 30
The D40 is designed around 6L6 and EL34 tubes,
but will accept many octal tubes (EXCLUDING 6V6) &
gladly display their tonal characteristics.
PREAMP TUBES 31
The D40 uses 12AX7 (ECC83) preamp tubes in the
preamp of your amplifier. Preamp tubes do not need
to be biased & usually have a long life unlike power
tubes, but a preamp tube can become faulty at any
stage of its rated lifespan.
POWER TUBE BIAS 32
You will need a voltmeter or digital multimeter set to
the lowest DC voltage range. (Make sure you refer to
the meter’s user manual).
1. Remove the rear bae cover from the rear of
the amplifier. If you are replacing tubes, do so now with
the power o & the amplifier unplugged from the main
power receptacle. Place the new tubes in the correct
socket positions.
2. Turn the trimmer down by turning the trim
pot with a small screwdriver in the counterclockwise
direction. You can access the trim pot through the
small hole in the top of the chassis close to the power
transformer. If any fuses had blown, make sure to
replace them as well.
3. Now plug the amplifier into the main power
receptacle, unplug any guitar cables from the inputs & turn
on the main power. Let the tubes warm up for one minute.
4. Turn down the master volume controls to zero
& turn on standby to the ON position.
5. Verify that none of the tube fault LEDs are on.
If they are, power down the amplifier, remove the plug
from the main power receptacle & replace the faulty
fuse & return to step 3. If everything checks out, move
on to the next steps of setting the bias. If it is still
blowing fuses, a tube is at fault. Try a dierent pair..
SETTING THE BIAS 33
1. Place the black lead from your meter into the
black bias test point on the amplifier & the red lead into
the red bias test point.
2. Refer to the chart below for bias set points for
the tubes being used & slowly turn the trimmer in the
clockwise direction until the value is reached.
3. Now let the amplifier sit powered for 5 minutes.
We want the tubes to reach their maximum operating
temperature. Keep an eye on the bias reading during
this time.
5. Once the bias is set at the required settings,
return the chassis into the headshell if removed and
rear bae panel to the rear of the amp & fasten it with
the screws you removed. You are done!

SETUP 35
Versatile & optional MIDI control helps Revv amps
seamlessly integrate into any rig. The amplifier will store
up to 128 programs for program change commands as
well as accept Continuous Controller (CC) commands
to control functions directly. The amplifier also features
OMNI mode to allow control options on 16 channels, &
phantom power to power control devices.
What does that mean?
1. You can set up “presets” of switch positions on the
amp to recall quickly. (this could be used for clean,
crunch, rhythm, & lead, for example).
2. You can simply control anything’s on/o state
(FX loop for example).
3. You can do a combination of both of those things.
4. You can do this with a computer for automatic
changes during songs, a MIDI floor control unit
instead of our footswitch, a loop switcher with midi
to control pedals as part of the “presets,” a multi-
eects unit with MIDI control, & more.
5. You can do this with just our footswitch, or not at
all if you choose. External equipment just becomes
more beneficial when integrating your Revv with
additional pieces of a rig such as eects units.
OMNI MODE 36
OMNI mode o will allow the amplifier to be controlled
via a designated channel (1-16), & OMNI mode on will
allow the amplifier to respond to commands on any
channel. If other equipment is being used in a MIDI
system, it is desirable to set each piece of equipment to
separate channels. However if the amplifier is the only
piece of gear being controlled via MIDI, then setting
it to a specific channel is not required and using the
OMNI mode setting becomes preferable.
To toggle OMNI mode on or o:
1. Make sure the power switch is in the o position.
2. Press & hold “Reverb” push button.
3. With the “reverb” push button being held, turn on
the power switch.
4. If the buttons were held correctly, then the CH1,
Ch2, Boost and Bright buttons will illuminate.
5. Release the Reverb and Store buttons once the
CH1, CH2, Boost and Bright Buttons Illuminate.
6. Press the CH2 button to select OMNI mode.
You have now toggled the OMNI mode setting. The
amplifier will restart automatically with the new setting.
If you experience any issues, cycle the main power
Note: The reverb LED will flash 3 times when it turns
OMNI mode on, & 4 times when it turns OMNI mode o.
MIDI CHANNEL SETTING 37
This amplifier can either automatically or manually
change the 16 MIDI channels you would like it to
respond to. The channel change is stored in memory
& only needs to be done when you need the amp to
respond on a certain channel.
1. To set the MIDI channel: With the power o, press
& hold the store button then turn on the power
switch. The amp will power up & begin to flash all
4 channel LEDs. Once this happens it is awaiting
the channel data to be received from the external
equipment (Automatic) or to be set manually.
2a. To set the channel automatically: (recommended)
With your external equipment ready (pedals,
computers, etc.) & set to the channel you want the
amplifier to be controlled from via MIDI, send a
command to the amplifier by pressing a program
change button or CC command on your external
equipment. Once the amplifier receives the data,
it will verify the channel it received & save it to
memory. Easy!

REVV | Dynamis D40 REVV | Dynamis D40
2b. To set the channel manually: Once step 1 has been
completed above & the channel LEDs are flashing,
press the CH1 CLEAN button. The CH1 LED will flash
& the other Channel LEDs will turn o, this signifies
that MIDI channel 1 has been selected.
Simply continue to press the CH 1 button to get to the
channel you desire. As you press the button you will
notice the other Channel LEDs turn on as you increase
the MIDI channel number. Once you reach the channel
you desire, press the STORE button to save it to
memory.
Note: There are only 4 channel LED, so the MIDI
channel count will be done in values of 4. MIDI channel
1 will be signified by CH1 CLEAN LED flashing, & as you
increase in number, MIDI channel 4 will be signified by
all four channel LEDs flashing, but once MIDI channel
5 is selected, only the CH1 CLEAN LED will flash again.
Every time you reach MIDI channel 5, 9, or 13, the LED
cycle will once again start from the CH1 CLEAN LED. So
keep count as you select the channel you desire. If you
go past MIDI channel 16, the count will start at channel
1 again. Once saved to memory, the Channel LEDs will
flash very quickly several times to verify the change has
been made & completed.
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE 38
This amplifier can remember up to 128 program settings
of the MIDI controllable functions. To set a program (i.e.
amplifier configuration) to be controlled via MIDI:
1. Set the amplifier to the configuration you intend to
save to a program number. (Ex: Ch: 2, Boost On,
Bright ON, Master Volume: 2, FX Loop: OFF, etc)
2. Once the amplifier is configured as you would like,
press the store button. The Store LED will flash &
the amplifier will wait now for a command through
its MIDI IN jack.
3. Send a program change command from your MIDI
Pedal or other equipment with the correct channel
& program number you intend to have the amplifier.
save the current configuration to.
4. Once the command is received, the amplifier will
save the current amp configuration to that program
number. The Store LED will flash 3 times & turn o
verifying that the command has been received &
Saved.
Now, anytime you send that program number to the amplifier
from your MIDI pedal or other external equipment, the amplifier
will switch to that saved configuration. This will allow for any
configuration of your settings to be recalled with any MIDI device.
MIDI CONTROLLABLE FUNCTIONS 39
The amplifier functions that can be controlled via MIDI
are as follows:
CHANNEL SELECTION (1-2)
Boost (All Channels)
Bright function (All Channels)
FX Loop in/out
Master Volume 1 & 2
Reverb On or O
TWO NOTES EMBEDDED FUNCTIONS
Reverb
Noise Gate
Twin Tracker
EQ L
EQ R
MUTE
These functions can be set & controlled in a MIDI
program change setting, where one program change
command will call up a configuration of the above
settings, or continuous controller commands, where
a CC command will switch any one of the functions
listed above, independent from any of the others. The
CC command functions are great for things like instant
access buttons on foot pedals etc.
CONTINUOUS CONTROLLER (CC) 40
To use CC commands, the amplifier Functions have
all been given a designated number & on or o
setting. When using & selecting a function the number
associated with the function must be used & then the
setting of the function (on or o) must also be sent.
Most MIDI equipment (pedals etc) allows you to select
a CC number & then designate whether it be turned to
on or o. (Consult the external equipment instruction
manual).
The following commands & their CC numbers need
only be sent an ON command (0-63) as they are used
to switch between channels which cannot be turned
o, only changed to a dierent channel or level, on &
o commands sent will produce the same result.
The following commands control functions that are
turned on & o. These functions require an o (0-63)
& on (64-127) command (byte) to be sent with the CC
number to either turn them on or o. If you are trying to
use them & are not getting them
to respond, chances are you are sending the wrong
command byte ( 0-63 is OFF & 64-127 is ON).

TORPEDO REMOTE &
REACTIVE LOAD
The amplifier can be connected to Two notes Remote
software to manipulate all available settings and
change the presets found on the front knob of the
amplifier.
This is via the USB port. You can find the
Remote Software for the amplifier here:
https://www.two-notes.com/downloads
Once you connect to the computer using the provided
USB cable, your computer will start recognizing the
amplifier. This may take a couple of minutes. Once
this is complete, simply open the Remote Software
and the amp will connect. Once connected, you can
tweak all available Torpedo Embedded settings to your
preferences!
Note: If you are new to studio practices such as
mic placement, the dierence in tonalities between
dierent speakers and more Two notes has a wealth
of resources available throughout their channels to get
you started. Of course, the presets are the best start in
this situation!
BLUETOOTH CONNECTION 41
You will connect to the Two Notes Torpedo inside your
Revv Amplifier from your mobile device via Bluetooth.
The connection has to be done in the following order:
1. Launch the Torpedo Wireless Remote app
2. Accept all the requested authorizations
(they depend on your tablet or phone)
3. The connection window should show up and when
it does, follow the on screen instructions.
4. Input the pin code to pair the Torpedo in your Revv amplifier
and your mobile device. The pin code is found with your
amplifier. Contact Revv should you misplace the Pin Code.
TROUBLESHOOTING 42
If after inputting the pin code the Torpedo does not
show up in the “Devices” menu in Torpedo Wireless
Remote, you will need to unpair the Torpedo in the
list of devices that are paired in the Bluetooth menu
of your phone. Once you have done this, please redo
the procedure detailed above. You cannot pair the
Torpedo from the phone or tablet OS, it has to be done
by Torpedo Wireless Remote. Some phones need to
have the location (GPS) activated to allow for Bluetooth
pairing. Try activating the Location if you find yourself
unable to pair with just the Bluetooth activated on your
phone or tablet.
INTERNAL REACTIVE LOAD 43
Your amplifier comes with a built-in, fan-cooled,
reactive load to allow you to play without the need for
a speaker cabinet. On the rear of the amplifier, there is
an internal load/speaker switch to switch between the
speaker cabinet and the reactive load.
Depending on what you need, you can switch between
the two on the fly. The speaker cabinet does not have
to be unplugged when switching to the reactive load,
the switch will bypass the speaker cab and only use
the reactive load or vice versa! So you have full control
by simply using the switch..
Note: If you forget to plug in a speaker cab and run
the amplifier without a speaker cab fear not! The
amplifier automatically uses the reactive load if there
is no speaker plugged into the amplifier. But be aware,
if there is a cable plugged into the speaker jack on the
amplifier but no speaker cab plugged into the other end
of the cable, this will cause damage unless the reactive
load is engaged by using the internal load switch!
SETTINGS &
SAVING CABINETS
The amplifier by default will power up with channel
1 loaded and all options turned o. But if you would
prefer to save how the amplifier powers up and how
each channel is set at power up you can!
Any combination of channels, boost settings and
functions can be saved so that the amplifier will always
power up in your favorite setting. In order to perform
this setting:
In order to perform this setting:
1. Select the channel you want to power
up with and set it up to your preference.
2. Press the store button and quickly release.
3. The store led will now flash
4. Press the CH button of the channel you have active.
The amplifier will now store your setting and confirm
it by flashing the store led quickly and turn o. That’s
it! Your favorite setting will now be loaded when the
amplifier is powered up. This will remain until changed.
Note: Each channel can be set up this way, however,
the last channel saved will be the first channel to
become active when the power is turned on. So when
setting your channels up the way you want them when
power is applied, just remember that you want to save
your power up channel last.
FRONT PANEL & CAB LIGHTING 44
While we know a lot of people like the color-changing
Revv logo and cabinet lighting, some do not. The
option to turn this feature on and o has been added
to your amplifier!
To disable/enable the cab and logo lighting:
With the main power in the OFF position
1. Press & hold the Reverb and Store push buttons
together.
2. With the push buttons being held, turn on the
power switch.
3. If the buttons were held correctly, then the CH1,
Ch2, Boost and Bright buttons will illuminate.
The logo LED’S will either now be on or o for
complete amplifier customization!
4. Release the Reverb and Store buttons once the
CH1, CH2, Boost and Bright Buttons Illuminate.
5. Press the BOOST button to toggle the Front Panel
and Cab lighting LEDs.
The amplifier will now restart, and the LEDs will be
turned o. Now, every time you power on the amplifier,
the lighting will be turned o.
SAVING GLOBAL/MASTERS 45
While the FX Loop and Master functions are considered
global settings across all channels, some players
might prefer that these functions are saved dierently
on each channel. In this case, the amplifier has been
designed to oer either setting so that it is possible to
have each channel call up a dierent setting for both
the FX loop as well as the master volumes.
This can be a pretty powerful feature if your settings
will always remain the same.
By default, these functions are set to global as most
players will require the FX Loop and master to remain
the same across all channels (global).
But to toggle the amp to store these settings dierently
among the channels, simply turn on the saved FX Loop/
Masters setting.

the FX Loop and either of the master volume controls
specifically.
Note: To toggle between the master controls and the
FX Loop on or o, you can use the foot controller.
SAVING A DIGITAL CAB TO A BANK 46
When you want to save a cab to a bank along with your
favorite channels and settings to be recalled when you
press the bank button, the save must be performed in
the following order:
1. Select the bank you plan to make the save to.
2. Select the channel as well as boost modes you plan
to save to the bank. At this point the bank LED on
the foot controller will begin to flash.
3. Next you will need to select the cab you want saved
to the bank. Note: If channel functions (Bright) are
selected first, the cab will not be saved. Boost is not
included as a function in this case.
4. Once you have selected your cab, you may proceed to
then select the functions you plan to save to the bank
(Bright).
5. Once completed, press the bank button to store
these settings, the bank LED will stop flashing
confirming the save.
SAVING A DIGITAL CAB TO A CHANNEL 47
One cool feature of your amplifier is the ability to save
digital cabs to each channel. This will allow you to have
many dierent sounds with every channel. In order to
save a cab to a channel:
In order to save a cab to a channel:
1. Select the channel and boost (If applicable, as
boost is considered a channel) you want to save a
digital speaker cab to.
2. Select the digital speaker cab bank you would
like saved with the 6 position rotary switch or two
notes remote software.
3. Press and hold the store button until the LED
flashes.
Now every time you switch to that channel, the digital
speaker cab you have saved will be loaded by the Two
Notes technology inside!
DISABLE/ENABLE CAB SPEAKER 48
For those that have no desire to save digital speaker
cabinets, this feature can be disabled so that only
the same cab will be used no matter what channel or
setting you change.
With the main power in the OFF position.
1. Press & hold the Reverb and Store push buttons
together.
2. With the push buttons being held, turn on the
power switch.
3. If the buttons were held correctly, then the CH1,
Ch2, Boost and Bright buttons will illuminate.
4. Release the Reverb and Store buttons once the
CH1, CH2, Boost and Bright Buttons Illuminate.
5. Press the CH1 button to toggle the Option.
FACTORY RESET 49
If you would like to clear the amp’s memory of all saved
program patches & restore all of the amps settings
to the factory default, which includes MIDI channel
(restored to CH1), OMNI Mode, FX Loop (Restored to
o at power-up) & a full memory clear, proceed with the
procedure below:
With power OFF, press & hold the CH1 button & the
CH2 button together & turn the power switch to the ON
position.
The amplifier will flash the Reverb LED to confirm that
the factory defaults have been restored..
Note: When resorting to the factory reset, just remember
that ALL settings in the amps memory will be erased.

REVV | Dynamis D40 REVV | Dynamis D40
The Revv footswitch can be configured to either
operate as a normal footswitch (with some bonuses) or
a tool to quickly recall presets on the amplifier.
Control Mode: Select between channels, FX loop on/
o, and master volumes.
Preset Mode: Select combinations of channel and
functions + master volume select & FX Loop on/o that
can be recalled with one button press.
Note: To switch between modes, press & hold the
footswitch button 1 for 2 seconds. The LEDs will all
illuminate, then switch to the settings in the other mode.
All settings will be retained when switching between
modes.
HOOK UP 50
The footswitch is connected to the rear of the amplifier
with a 5 PIN DIN Cable. The amplifier & footswitch
will work with any 5 PIN DIN cable should you be in a
pinch, but the Revv cable is always recommended for
best performance.
It is recommended that the footswitch be connected
to the amp with the power o, but should you plug it
in during amplifier use, it will power up & automatically
set itself to the amps current settings. Upon power-
up, all LEDs will turn on for a couple of seconds as it
initializes. Once complete, the foot pedal will set itself
to the amplifier’s current configuration.
CONTROL MODE 51
The foot pedal will always power up in control mode.
This mode works similarly to most other foot pedals - it
simply controls the functions of the amp. Here is how
the buttons respond in control mode:
BUTTON 1
This button has 3 functions, it switches to channel
one when the amp is not in channel one, switches
between clean and clean boost & switches between
foot pedal modes when held for 2 seconds (control
& preset).
BUTTON 2
This button will switch to channel two when the amp is
not in channel two. It will also toggle through Channel
2 boost when in the amp is in channel 2.
BUTTON 3
This button toggles FX Loop In/Out.
BUTTON 4
This button toggles between master volumes.
BUTTON 5
This button toggles FX Loop In/Out.
PRESET MODE 52
When the footswitch is in preset mode, each button
can then be used to save amp settings, much like a
MIDI program change command. For example, if you
wanted to save an amp setting like ch2, boost on,
bright: on, FX loop: in, Master volume: 2, you could
save this all to one button! Then every time you want
to use this amp configuration, all you would have to do
is press that one button & the amp would change to
this setting.
Each button on the foot controller can save settings.
They can also save digital cabs utilizing the Two Notes
Torpedo tech inside!
Note 1: When a preset is set on the footswitch, it will not
be lost if power is removed from the amp. The Revv
footswitch has memory & will retain the settings. Each
button is identical in Preset mode & will be considered
banks. Each bank can hold an amp preset.
Note 2: Button one, however, have 2 functions in preset
mode. Button one will switch between the modes
(Control & Preset). Holding the button for 2 seconds will
activate the abilities.
TO SAVE A PRESET TO A BANK 53
1. Put the footswitch in preset mode & select the bank
you want to save to (Buttons one through four).
2. Set the amplifier to your desired configuration from
the front panel of the amp.
3. The bank LED on the footswitch you have selected
will begin to blink stating a change has been made
on the front panel of the amp.
4. Once you’re finished configuring the amp, simply
press the desired bank button on the footswitch to
save the setting into that bank & you’re done! The
LED will stop flashing verifying that the change has
been saved. Now every time you press that bank
button, the amp will switch to the configuration you.
Note: Any change made on the front panel of the amp
will result in a bank LED blinking which means that the
current bank setting is dierent from that of the amps
new configuration. To save the new setting press the
bank button on the footswitch (blinking LED), or, to reset
the configuration & not keep the change, simply press
another bank button & the change will NOT be saved.
FOOT CONTROLLER RESET 54
The footswitch memory can be cleared when it is
needed. Each of the 4 banks will be returned to factory
defaults. To reset the memory & return the unit to
factory defaults, begin with the amplifier’s power o &
the footswitch plugged into the footswitch jack on the
amplifier.
Next, press & hold buttons 1 & 2 down & turn the power
switch to the ON position on the amplifier. As soon
as the footswitch powers up, it will return all memory
locations to factory defaults as long as buttons one &
two were held down properly at power-up.
Note: This will erase all your settings from the foot
controllers memory!
