Thermionic Onanism: Peavey Revalver MKIIINah, you don't need to waste so much time trying to get more power out
of some tacky little guitar amp. Just get a computer and the right
software, which is the Peavey Revalver MKIII, and you can make any
valve distortion you can dream up:
"Finally, guitar amplifier modeling software from a company that
actually builds tube amplifiers! ReValver is state of the art virtual
guitar amplifier modeling software and the only software that captures
the true sonic nature of vacuum tubes. Choose infinite combinations of
classic amps, preamps, power amps, and effects to create your own
signature tone. No other modeling software allows as much access to
the engine that drives the virtual amplifier. Every tube in every
amplifier and preamp can be tweaked or replaced with any one of 17
included tube types. ReValver even lets you modify power amp
rectifiers, output transformers and tone stacks. ReValver also
includes 65 incredible, legendary stomp box and rack effect modules.
Building upon over 40 years of guitar amplifier engineering
experience, ReValver is the most advanced and best sounding virtual
amplifier on the planet." And so on, ad nauseam. More at:
