Three-channel tube preamp in pedal format
The Two Notes ReVolt Guitar is a fully analogue three-channel guitar preamp built around a PSVANE ECC83 (12AX7) tube running at 200V DC – full plate voltage, as opposed to the starved-plate approximations common in tube pedals. Housed in a pedalboard-friendly format, its three channels draw on distinct amplifier traditions – American clean, British crunch, and modern high-gain – covering a tonal range from warm, open clean sounds through classic UK overdrive to contemporary lead and heavy rhythm territory. A serial FX loop, TRS MIDI In and Out, a balanced XLR DI output, and a headphone output with aux input make the ReVolt Guitar a self-contained signal hub rather than a single-purpose preamp pedal. Alongside the preamp’s analogue hardware capabilities, it also ships with a lifetime GENOME licence, the comprehensive Two Notes software suite that turns the ReVolt into a complete amp-to-cab recording signal path, with DynIR cabinet simulation, effects and pedals, and flexible rig building – for direct-to-DAW or standalone use.

Three channels, one tube
The ReVolt Guitar's PSVANE ECC83 sits behind a glass panel at the centre of the front face, visible and always active across all three channels. The American Clean channel covers Fender-inspired clean and edge-of-breakup tones with Gain, Volume, and a two-band EQ; its large headroom handles both clean chord work and light drive with minimal compression. British Crunch delivers the mid-forward overdrive associated with classic British valve amplifiers – for a character that pushes through a band mix without excessive low end. Modern Lead handles high-gain rhythm and lead work, voiced for tight, focused distortion rather than the looser character of the British channel. The boost circuit – +0dB to +20dB centred around 1.1kHz – adds mid-focused gain, and can be activated separately via footswitch for each channel, indicated by a light in the tube housing when active.

Connectivity and integration
The serial FX loop runs unbuffered – the return connects directly to the output when active, keeping the signal path clean for time-based and modulation effects. Engaging the four-cable method via the loop switch integrates the ReVolt Guitar with a valve amplifier's effects loop, using the pedal's preamp section while retaining the power amp and cabinet of the amp. The balanced XLR DI output carries phantom power protection (+48V), making it safe for direct connection to mixing desks and interfaces without a DI box. TRS MIDI In and Out handle preset recall and channel switching in MIDI-controlled live rigs or studio recall environments. The 3.5mm headphone output and aux input allow practice and backing-track sessions without additional hardware.

About Two Notes
Two notes Audio Engineering is the brand under which the French company Orosys SAS markets its products. The company was founded in 2006 by Guillaume Pille in Montpellier. Pille's vision was to find a solution which allowed guitarists to easily record their favourite 100-watt amplifier at home as well as use it on stage under optimum conditions. In 2010, Two notes launched its first hardware product, the Torpedo VB-101, which turned this vision into a reality thanks to features such as its internal digital speaker simulation. Further hardware and software solutions for guitarists and bassists followed that continued this concept and have since established Two notes Audio Engineering as one of the most popular manufacturers in the field of load boxes, loudspeakers, and power amp simulations – as well as the "silent recording" scene in general.
Pedalboard, studio, and stage
The ReVolt Guitar is aimed at guitarists who want genuine tube preamp character without committing to a full valve amp – on a compact pedalboard for touring, as a studio direct recording tool, or as a silent-stage solution running direct to front-of-house. In a recording session, the balanced DI and DynIR cabinet simulation produce a complete, ready-to-mix guitar signal without microphone placement or room treatment. Live, the MIDI implementation allows full preset recall from a controller, and the four-cable method keeps the option of a real power amp and cabinet open. The headphone output with aux input covers practice and warm-up use without a separate interface or amp. At 830g, the ReVolt Guitar's robust all-metal enclosure makes it pedalboard-viable without being fragile.
In the spotlight
GENOME and DynIR cabinets
Every ReVolt Guitar device ships with a lifetime licence for Two Notes' GENOME software, including a selection of DynIR virtual cabinets spanning British, American, and European voicings – Marshall, Hiwatt, Mesa/Boogie, Fender, ENGL, Vox, and others. DynIR captures are phase-corrected and include multiple microphone positions per cabinet, covering dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mics, with continuous adjustment from close-miking to room tone and from cone centre to speaker edge. Two microphones can be blended simultaneously, giving access to the kind of dual-mic setups that define studio guitar tones – close dynamic for presence, ribbon at distance for air – without committing to a single position. The full DynIR Cabinet Collection is accessible via GENOME for expanded tonal options. GENOME also includes a range of studio effects, pedal simulations, and amp models, allowing complete, fully customisable signal chains to be built around the ReVolt for studio recording or hybrid workflows.
