SETUP
38
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/off 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-
effects 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 effects units.
OMNI MODE
39
OMNI mode off 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 off:
1.
Make sure the power switch is in the off position.
2.
Press & hold “Reverb” push button.
3.
With the “reverb” push button being held, turn on
the power switch.
4.
Release the reverb push button once the reverb
LED begins to flash. Once the “reverb” LED has
stopped flashing, it has accepted the command to
adjust OMNI mode.
Note:
The reverb LED will flash 3 times when it turns
OMNI mode on, & 4 times when it turns OMNI mode off.
MIDI CHANNEL SETTING
40
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 off, 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!
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 off, this signifies
that MIDI channel 1 has been selected.
