MIDI
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 controlling
devices.
What does that mean?
1) You can set up “presets” of switch settings on the amp to recall quickly.
2) You can simply control anything’s on/off state (Wide setting 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
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 when the amplifier is the only piece of gear being controlled via MIDI, then
setting it to a specific channel is not really required & setting the OMNI mode on becomes
preferable.
In order to toggle OMNI mode on or off:
1) Make sure the power switch is in the off position.
2) Press & hold “Pre/Post” push button.
3) With the “Pre/Post” push button being held, turn on the power switch.
4) Release the “Pre/Post” push button once the Channel LED begins to flash. Once the
“channels” LED has stopped flashing, it has accepted the command to adjust OMNI
mode. The amplifier will adjust OMNI mode & then reset itself by completing its startup
sequence. Once the startup sequence is done (3 seconds), you are ready to go.
