Tweaking modules

One of the most powerful features of ReValver® MK III is the ability to tweak each parameter of a module other than the usual knobs and buttons on the front of the module. In an effort to explain the Tweak mode in ReValver, we’ve written some short explanations of each tweak in the tube tweak GUI.

TheTweak mode in ReValver was written on an engineering level using real schematics by a real tube amplifier company, and it takes years to learn tube amplifier engineering, so the awesome “tweakability” of ReValver MKIII will keep even the most experienced valve amplifier engineer busy for hours. Users who don’t have any experience with tube amps will have fun, and you’ll learn a lot about how tube amplifiers work.

Press the “+” but­on on the module, or select “Tweak Module” on the module menu to bring up the general Tweak GUI. The Tweak GUI is a general GUI that holds specialized tweakable components that differ from module to module. Some features include Frequency Analyzer, Oscilloscope, Total Harmonic Distortion analysis and save Impulse Response.

The Frequency Analyzer runs a frequency response test of the module in question. It does so by inserting a short “pulse” and performing a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) frequency analysis of the out­put. Please note that such techniques may not yield expected results in non-linear modules such as distortion modules. The Frequency Analyzer also accurately displays the phase response of the module. The analyzer window is displayed in logarithmic mode with the lower frequency shown in high resolution. This emphasis can be adjusted via the slider at the bottom of the win- dow.
