set up & power up
It is very important to place the amplifi-
er in a dry location that provides 4-6” of
space between the rear of the amplifier
and anything in the area that has been
designated for the amplifier. Tubes
produce heat, and anything flammable
should be kept away.
First, make sure that the power and
standby switches are in the off (down)
positions. Next, connect the AC power
cord to the amplifier Mains connector on
the rear of the amplifier and then to an
AC outlet.
At this point, all other peripherals can
be connected to the amplifier as well:
Foot Switch (See 3.7)
FX Loop (See section 4 )
Guitar and cable (See 2.1)
Note: A good quality, shielded instrument
cable is recommended for guitar input
as well as FX loop connections to prevent
unwanted noise.
Once all your connections are made,
move the power switch to the On po-
sition and give the tubes at least one
minute to warm up. Now is a great time
to begin setting all controls while we
wait. We recommend setting the master
volume, channel level and gain controls
to the lowest setting or zero (fully count-
er clockwise) and all treble, mid and
bass controls to the 12 o’clock positions
to begin. Now set the standby switch to
the Revv (up) position and you are ready
to begin exploring!
Note: Upon power up, you will have
noticed that all LED’s light up for a couple
of seconds and then only the Channel 1
LED and reverb remains lit. This is normal
as the amp does a start up sequence at
power up then arms channel one to begin.

Low Input – The low input jack has been
designed to allow guitars with hot pick-
ups to be reduced in order to get lower
gain tones from the amplifier, however,
this jack can be used with any guitar
should a lower gain tone be desired.
Normal Input – The normal input jack is
to be used as the default input and does
not change the guitars signal output.

Channel One
Selected by: pushing the designated
front panel momentary toggle switch
up until the LED is blue, or foot switch
button #1 on the foot controller.
Channel one is equipped with a treble,
mid, bass, volume and reverb control
as well as bright option. The passive
EQ controls have a large range for all
different clean variations and should be
adjusted a little at a time while experi-
menting with different sounds. Channel
one is equipped with a wattage selector
switch that allows operation in 7 watts,
or 40 watts power output. This switch
sets the power for channel one only, and
can be handy when setting the amount
of power tube break up you want without
the total volume becoming too loud. This
can get you to a more aggressive clean
sound and will respond differently than
the higher power setting to give you
many different clean tone options from
the channel one clean setting. Use the
bright switch as you require. See the
reverb section of the manual to learn
how to use the great reverb options built
into this amplifier. (See 2.4)

Channel Two
Selected by: pushing the designated
front panel momentary toggle switch
up, or foot switch button #2 on the foot
controller.
Channel Two is equipped with a gain,
treble, mid, bass and level control as
well as dynamic, bright, and contour
switches and great reverb functionality
(2.4). The amount of gain from the chan-
nel can be selected by the relationship
between the gain control and dynamic
switch. There are 3 levels of use from
the dynamic switch that shifts up the
amount of gain, as well as the satura-
tion and frequency spectrum. The range
of the gain control itself in either of the
3 dynamic settings is fully useable and
will then dial in the amount of gain de-
sired from the dynamic setting selected.
The relationship between the dynamic
switch and gain control will provide
anything from a lower gain crunch tone
to a saturated lead tone but still remain
super articulate and well defined.
The EQ controls on this channel are
very broad and a little adjustment at a
time is suggested when experimenting.
The range is large and the channel has
been voiced to provide a huge frequency
spectrum so as to make sure nothing
is left out, but still remain very tight in
the bottom end and not too harsh at
higher frequencies. The midrange bite
is very much present and the amount
of cut can be easily tailored with use of
the EQ controls and contour switch. Use
of the bright switch adds even more EQ
functionality.
The contour switch shifts the upper
frequencies and changes the voice from
that of a darker focused voice to a more
open and bright voice that becomes pro-
jected and is almost 3 dimensional.
The dynamic setting can be toggled via
the optional foot switch controller for on
the fly gain changing, as well, the func-
tions from this channel can be saved to
the pre-set banks on the optional foot
switch controller for quick change amp
settings.
Just like channel one, the power selec-
tor switch on channel two is channel
specific and will unlock many more tone
options and power levels when used.
Choose between 7 and 40 watts and
then dial in your channel to taste.
Use of Reverb and the great functions it
offers can be found in the reverb section
of this manual. See (2.4)

Revv Dynamis 7-40w2.4
2.5
Reverb & Decay Switches
The Dynamis amplifier is equipped with
reverb and the ability to select between
short, medium or long decay reverb
tanks as well as the level of reverb on
each channel. To add even more to this
great functionality, each channel can be
set completely independent of the other
for even more options! And all of these
options can be changed from the foot
controller.
Upon start up, reverb is engaged and
with a short decay. To turn reverb on
or off, simply press the reverb toggle
switch in the up position, the LED will
turn on or off depending on the setting.
To cycle through the different decay
options, simply press the toggle switch
down towards the decay position.
The decay options are as follows:
LED off: short decay
Blue LED: medium decay
Red LED: long decay
Once you have found your desired decay
setting, simply use the reverb level
control to adjust the amount of reverb to
the selected channel.
Each of the two channels on the Dyna-
mis amplifier can have different reverb
settings. For example, if channel one is
set to a medium decay reverb with the
reverb control set to noon, channel two
could be set to a short decay with the
reverb level set lower or even turned
off via the reverb toggle switch, and
each channel will remember its setting
should a different channel be selected
while the amplifier is powered up.
Reverb settings are also foot switch
save able options should the foot
controller be used as a program patch
bank. See foot controller section of this
manual for more information.
Standby & Power Switches
The power and standby switches give
the amp power from the mains, as well
as high voltage through the circuit. First
turn on the power switch and wait a
minute to allow the tubes to warm up.
Turn on the standby switch to the Revv
position once you are ready to play.
Note: NEVER power up the amplifier with-
out the proper speaker connected!

Main Power Connection
When plugging the amplifier into the
mains A/C wall receptacle, always make
sure the amplifier power and standby
switches are in the off position. The
Required voltage and fuse ratings are
marked on the amplifier, verify that they
are correct before plugging it in.
Main & HT Fuses
The mains fuse and HT fuse are 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.
3.3
Bias Test Points
The amplifier is designed to allow the
user to set the bias of the 6V6GT power
tubes without taking the chassis out of
the head shell. Each pair of power tubes
needs to be set according to the recom-
mended bias setting per pair. (See 5.3)

Power Tube Fault Fuses
The power tubes are fused in pairs.
Should a power tube fail, the fuse will
blow and take the pair of power tubes
out of service. This has the benefit of
protecting the amplifier, but also allows
for playability, so as to allow the user
to finish the gig on the remaining pair.
The volume and tone will change but the
show will go on.
Note: Should the amp be run with 2 power
tubes removed from service (bad or blown
fuse), in order to get the same tone as 4
tubes, the amp should be run with an im-
pedance setting of half the speaker rating.
For example, if the speaker is plugged into
the 8 ohms jack, move the plug to one of
the other 4 ohm jacks. This will improve
tone and run the tubes more comfortably
when 2 are taken out of the mix! But make
sure to only perform this with the power
off! And also make sure to move the plug
back to the 8 ohm jack once the tubes and
or fuse have been replaced.
WARNING: Unplug power cord
BEFORE removing fuse!
WARNING: Replace fuses with same type/rating only!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock
service should be performed by qualified personnel only.

Impedance & Speaker Jacks
The amplifier must always be connected
to a speaker cabinet or speaker load
when it is powered up. The Dynamis
amplifier can be used with cabinets that
provide a load of 4 and 8 ohms should
you desire to run the amplifier from a
cabinet and not the provided built in 8
ohm speaker. Because the amplifier

FX Loop Connections
The FX loop connections are to be
hooked up to external pedals or effects
units. The Send level will supply the
signal required and needs to be set
accordingly with the send level control.
(See 4.1)
Foot Switch Connection
There are 2 different foot switch options
with the amplifier. The ¼” jack and the
RJ45 style jack allow for 2 different
types of control. The ¼” jack allows the
use of a one button foot switch that will
switch the channels between one and
two, and the RJ45 connector allows for
the 6 button foot controller to be used
with the amplifier. (See Section 6)
provides multiple speaker jacks, there
are a few options that can be taken
advantage of.
Some examples:
When using just the provided 8 ohm
speaker in the Dynamis combo, always
keep it plugged into the 8 ohm jack for
best results.
1 - 8 ohm cabinet AND the provided 8
ohm combo speaker: In this configu-
ration, plugging the provided speaker
into one of the 4 ohm jacks and the 8
ohm speaker cabinet into the other 4
ohm jack will provide the perfect load to
remain with the best possible tone and
keep the amplifier safe from harm. The
8 ohm jack MUST NOT be used!
2 - 8 ohm cabinet: In this configuration,
one of the 8 ohm cabinets would be
plugged into a 4 ohm jack, and the other
8 ohm cabinet would be plugged into
the remaining 4 ohm jack. The provided
speaker MUST be disconnected from the
8 ohm jack, and the 8 ohm jack MUST
NOT be used.
1 - 8 ohm cabinet WITHOUT the provided
8 ohm combo speaker: In this config-
uration, the provided speaker would
be disconnected from the 8 ohm jack
and the 8 ohm speaker cabinet would
be plugged into it (8 ohm jack). The
remaining 4 ohm speaker jacks MUST
NOT be used. The provided speaker
cannot be used in this configuration and
must remain disconnected.
1 - 4 ohm cabinet: In this configuration,
only one 4 ohm speaker cabinet can be
used with this amplifier. The provided
8 ohm combo speaker MUST NOT be
used, the remaining 4 ohm and 8 ohm
speaker jacks must also NOT be used.
2 – 4 ohm cabinets cannot be run in par-
allel with this amplifier. This will cause
damage.
Note: In order to prevent damage to your
Dynamis Amplifier, it is very important to
verify that the speaker load is correct and
that the Dynamis amplifier can support
the speaker load.

Revv Dynamis 7-40w3.8
Solo Level Control
The solo level control will provide the
amount of solo boost required when
using the solo boost option on the foot
controller. By pressing the Solo button
on the foot controller, the volume will
be boosted or lowered to the setting of
the solo level control on the rear of the
amplifier. In order to set the solo boost
level, first begin by setting the volume
of each channel to desired setting. Next,
press the solo button on the foot con-
troller to turn it on. Now adjust the solo
level control on the amplifier to increase
or decrease the volume level. Once you
have found your desired setting, press
the solo button on the foot controller
again to turn it off and you should
notice a change in the volume level. Use
this feature for a volume boost when
performing leads or anything that may
require a volume boost.
serial effects loop
4.1
4.2
SEND Level Control
Some effects units have meters on them
to show you what level of signal they are
receiving and some do not. For those
that do not have them, simply turn the
send level control up until you are happy
with the volume, or until your effects
begin clipping, in which case you are
driving them too hard and have found
your maximum setting.
The effects loop has been designed to allow it to be foot switchable and preset save-
able with the foot controller. It is designed to be of the highest quality possible and
is completely transparent. It is tube driven with the send output buffered.
FX Loop In/Out
The FX loop has been designed to be in
the signal path by default. If the 6 button
foot controller is not being used with the
amplifier, then the FX loop remains set
to the IN condition waiting for FX units
and pedals to be plugged in and used

Revv Owner’s Manual4.2
4.3
FX Loop Hook up
Let’s go through it step by step, just in
case you have never used an effects loop
and don’t know how to hook it up.
First, you need to hook up your effects
units to the Dynamis Combo. The send
jack will need to be connected to the
input or in jack on your effects unit. The
out jack on the effects unit (or last pedal
in your chain) will then connect back to
the return jack on the amp.
Next, turn on the amp and turn the FX
loop send level control up slowly as
you play your guitar. Once your desired
signal has been found, your done!
normally. If the FX loop is not being used
then there is no need to do anything
further as it is designed to sit idle
adding nothing to the instrument signal
travelling through the amp.
If the 6 button foot controller is being
used with the amplifier, as well as FX
units and pedals, then the FX loop can
be taken IN and OUT of the signal path
by pressing button five on the foot con-
troller. This allows you to put in effects
and take them out of your sound with
the press of one button quickly, on the
fly, with the foot control. The switchable
FX loop can also be saved to the preset
banks when programming your amplifi-
er settings for one button control of your
amplifier.
Note: The foot controller FX loop LED
will be illuminated when the FX loop is
IN (effects are part of your sound) and off
when the FX loop has been taken out of
the signal path (effects are taken out of
your sound).
5.1
tubes & bias
Power Tubes
The Dynamis has been designed to use
6V6GT power tubes in the power section,
and it is recommended that Revv brand
6V6GT power tubes be used whenever
replacement is necessary for optimal
performance.

Revv Dynamis 7-40w5.2
Preamp Tubes
The Dynamis amplifier uses 12AX7
preamp tubes in tube positions V1 V2
and V4. A 12AT7 preamp tube is used in
the V3 position for the FX Loop and
only
a 12AT7 tube should be used in this
socket. Preamp tubes do not need to
be biased and usually have a long life
unlike power tubes, but it is possible for
a preamp tube to become faulty at any
stage of its rated lifespan.
5.3
Power Tube Bias
The power tubes can be biased without
taking the chassis out of the wood head
shell. You will need a voltmeter or digital
multi meter set to the lowest DC voltage
range. (Make sure you refer to the me-
ters user manual and are familiar with
the meter).
Note: Use tubes that are matched! At the
very least, 2 matched pairs can be used,
but it is recommended that a matched
Revv brand quad of 6V6GT tubes be used
when replacing the power tubes.
Note: While the bias setting of the power
tubes has been made user friendly, we
do not expect everyone to be experienced
enough to perform the procedure and we
strongly recommend that it be completed
by an experienced technician to prevent
damage to the amplifier or power tubes.
To prepare:
1) Remove the rear baffle cover from
the rear of the amplifier and expose
the tubes and bias trimmers. If you are
replacing tubes, do so now with the
power off and the amplifier unplugged
from the main power receptacle. A new
matched quad of Revv brand 6V6GT
tubes is recommended.
2) Next unlock the bias trimmers by
turning the nut counter clockwise
and then turn the trimmers down by
turning the trimmer shaft with a small
screwdriver in the counter clockwise
direction. If any fuses had blown, make
sure to replace them as well.
3) Now plug the amplifier in to the main
power receptacle, make sure the am-
plifier is plugged into a load or speaker
cabinet, unplug any guitar cables from
the inputs and turn on the main power.
Let the tubes warm up for one minute.
4) Once the tubes are warmed up, turn
down the master volume controls to zero
and turn on standby to the Revv position.
Set the bias:
1) Place the black lead from your meter
into the black bias test point on the am-
plifier and the red lead into the red bias
test point (The red test point on the left
is for V1 and V3 tubes, red test point on
the right is for V2 and V4 tubes).
2) Refer to the chart below for bias set
points for the tubes being used and
slowly turn the trimmer in the clockwise
direction until the value is reached.
3) Next, place the red lead into the other
red bias test point and repeat step 2 for
the other set of tubes.
4) Re-check the settings of each bias
test point and make any further adjust-
ments as required.
5) Once the bias is set at the required
settings, lock down the trimmer lock
nuts by turning the nuts clockwise while
holding the trimmer shaft with a screw
driver so as not to lose the setting. Do
not over tighten the nuts, just snug them.
Once complete, return the rear baffle

Revv Owner’s Manual5.3
foot switch
There are 2 types of foot switches for your Dynamis amplifier, the 1 button foot
switch and the 6 button controller. Because some players do not require the exten-
sive functions that the 6 button controller offers, the 1 button switch can be used to
simply switch between channel one and two.
The 6 button foot switch that is used with the Dynamis is not like most foot switch-
es. This unit not only controls the amplifiers functions, it can also be used as a pro-
gram bank pedal. It has been designed with 2 modes, Control (See 6.2) and Preset
(See 6.3) modes.
Note: The foot switch will always be updated should a change be made on the amplifier
front panel.
Note: To switch between modes, press and hold button one for 2 seconds (See 6.4). The
LEDs will all illuminate then switch to the setting in the other mode. All settings will be
retained when switching between modes.
6.1
Hook up
The 6 button foot controller is connected
to the rear of the amplifier (See 3.7) with
a shielded Ethernet cable and very rigid
connectors. The amplifier and foot switch
will work with any ethernet cable should
you be in a pinch, but the Revv cable is al-
ways recommended for best performance.
The 1 button foot switch plugs into the ¼”
jack provided for the foot switch.
panel to the rear of the amp and fasten
it with the screws you removed and you
are done! Bias should be checked after
a few hours of playing to verify it has not
changed too much.
BIAS CHART (Measurements are for two
tubes per bias point)
Note: The leftmost bias trimmer is to set
the bias for tubes V1 and V3, while the
right most trimmer is for V2 and V4.
Note: If you are not able to measure a
voltage reading in one of the red test
jacks, you may have a blown fuse. Power
off the amp and check your fuses. Replace
if necessary. If the fuses continue to blow
after replacement, you may have a bad
tube and replacement is necessary.

Control Mode
The foot pedal will always power up in
control mode. This mode works like
most other foot pedals; it simply controls
the functions of the amp. Here is how
the buttons respond in control mode:
Button One – This button has 1 function
- it switches to channel one when the
amp is not in channel one.
Button Two – This button has 2 func-
tions in control mode - it will switch
to channel two when the amp is not
in channel two, and it will change the
dynamic level but only when the amp is
already in channel two.
Note: The foot pedal will not change the
dynamic level of channel two unless the
amp is in the channel.
Note: The LED for channel two will
change according to dynamic level. Green
is low, Blue is medium and Red is high.
The last 2 colors match those found on the
amplifier.
Button Three – This button turns on/
off the solo boost function. Solo boost is
on when the LED is illuminated and off
when the LED is not illuminated.
Button Four – This button turns on/off
the reverb of the current channel and will
cycle through decay settings on the fly.
To turn on/off the reverb of the current
channel, simply press and release the re-
verb button on the foot controller. When
the LED is illuminated, reverb is on and
when it is not, reverb is turned off.
To cycle through and select a different
decay setting from the foot controller,
press and hold the reverb button on
the foot controller. After 2 seconds of
holding the button, the color of the LED
will change to signify the change. Using
this procedure, the decay settings can be
changed from the controller.
Reverb LED colors signify these decay
settings:
Green: Short Decay
Blue: Medium Decay
Red: Long Decay
Button Five – This button toggles the FX
loop In/Out. The FX loop is IN when the
LED is illuminated red and OUT when the
LED is off.
Button Six – This button toggles the
mute function. The amp is muted when
the LED is illuminated red and not muted
when the LED is off.
Note: Bright and contour functions cannot
be changed via the foot switch. However,
they can be saved to a bank when in
Preset mode.
It is recommended that the 6 button foot
controller be connected to the amp with
the power off, but should you plug it in
once you have been using the amplifier for
a while, it will power up and automatically
set itself to the amps current settings. So
if you have been jamming for a bit, and
have set the amp to your favorite setting
via the front panel but then decide to plug
the pedal in afterwards, it will update itself
automatically!
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 amplifiers current configuration.

Switching Between Modes
The Foot Switch modes can be changed by
holding down button one for two seconds.
Preset Mode
When the foot switch 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, dynamic: red, bright: on, FX loop:
in, contour: on, reverb: on, decay: blue,
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 and the
amp would change to this setting. Each
button on the foot controller can save
settings.
Note: When a preset is set into the foot
switch, it will not be lost if power is
removed from the amp. The Dynamis foot
switch has memory and will retain the
settings.
Each button is identical in Preset mode
and will be considered banks. Each bank
can hold an amp preset.
Note: Buttons one, five and six however,
have 2 functions in preset mode. But-
ton one will switch between the modes
(Control and Preset – See 6.4), button five
will toggle FX loop In and Out and button
six will activate mute in the same way as
in control mode. Holding either button for
2 seconds will activate their other ability,
otherwise simply pushing these buttons
and releasing will toggle the bank preset.
To set a preset to a bank:
1) Put the foot switch in preset mode
and select the bank you want to save to
(buttons one through six).
2) Set the amplifier to your desired config-
uration from the front panel of the amp.
3) The bank LED on the foot switch 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 bank button on
the foot switch to save the setting into
that bank and your done. The LED will
stop flashing verifying that the change
has been saved.
Now every time you press that bank but-
ton, the amp will switch to the configu-
ration you saved to it.
Note: Any change made on the front panel
of the amp will result in a bank LED blink-
ing which means that the current bank
setting is different from that of the amps
new configuration. To save the new setting
press the bank button on the foot switch
(blinking LED), or, to reset the configura-
tion and not keep the change, simply press
another bank button and the change will
NOT be saved.
