Q.I have some very cool Impulse Response (IR) files. Can I use them with ReValver MK III?

A.Yes. The speaker convolution modeler (RIR) can load files in .wav format, provided they are reasonably short. RIR is using a real-time engine that requires no particular sample chunk size, so it can operate less efficiently with larger files. All input is therefore shortened considerably if needed. No reverb, echo or delay type of IRs can be used.

Q.In ReValver MK III you can switch between push-pull and single-ended stages. What about the phase inverter?

The phase splitter, “Long Tail Pair Phase Inverter“ has two outputs, each being essentially the same signal but with one being inverted 180 degrees. This is a common circuit to drive a push-pull stage that in fact requires two signals, one being 180 degrees apart.

If you wish to drive a single ended stage you need only one signal, and there is little advantage in driving it with a phase inverter.

In a module that in fact has a phase inverter, you can still switch the push-pull stage to a single- ended stage. What happens is simple: the inverted signal is ignored. Only the top half of the inverter signal is used.

Licensing and copy protection

ReValver® MK III utilizes a copy protection system that is entirely software based. There is no need to buy or purchase a driver to make the program work.

A license for the program, or a sub feature of the program, is handled through license files in text format. These license files are locked to a particular hardware component on the computer in question. The actual component can be chosen from a number of types (but at the time of writ- ing, only the “system drive” can be chosen). You may upgrade your hardware any number of times, requiring a new license file (which can be downloaded through the Peavey web site, or the accompanying Activation Tool).

One of the key features of the ReValver MK III is its extensive library of amplifier models. Users have access to a wide variety of iconic amplifiers from different eras, each modeled with meticulous attention to detail. This includes everything from vintage tube amps to high-gain modern monsters, providing musicians with a versatile toolkit for crafting their unique sound.

The technology behind ReValver MK III is revolutionary, utilizing a proprietary modeling technique known as "Instrument Modeling Technology." This approach captures not only the sound of the amplifiers but also the way they interact with different environments and speaker configurations. Musicians can select various cabinet simulations and microphones, allowing for realistic recording setups right from their computers. This feature is essential for guitarists wanting to achieve studio-quality tones without the need for physical gear.

Another standout characteristic is the pedalboard feature. ReValver MK III includes a comprehensive selection of effects pedals, allowing users to chain together distortion, delay, reverb, and more. This enables guitarists to replicate their favorite sounds from famous recordings or experiment with new ones. The flexibility to customize effects and order within the chain means that players can take full control over their sonic palette.

The user interface of ReValver MK III is designed to be both powerful and user-friendly. It offers a visual representation of the signal chain, making it easy to drag and drop components, tweak settings, and instantly hear the results. Additionally, the software supports various input methods, including MIDI controllers, ensuring that players can interact with the software in a way that suits their playing style.

ReValver MK III also stands out for its advanced performance capabilities. With low latency processing and high-quality audio output, it seamlessly integrates into both live performance and studio recording setups. The software is compatible with various digital audio workstations, making it a flexible choice for musicians.

In conclusion, the Intel ReValver MK III is a groundbreaking software solution that merges sophisticated modeling technology with practical user features. Its extensive range of amplifiers and effects, combined with a flexible interface and performance capabilities, make it an indispensable tool for guitarists seeking to expand their sound without the burden of traditional equipment. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an aspiring musician, ReValver MK III promises to elevate your guitar playing experience.
