Revalver MKIII is in a class all by it's lonesome, I have been playing guitar for 20+ years and if I close my eyes and played through it, I would never believe it was software. Simply incredible that this sound and sonic feel can be created in a software. I have used every other guitar sim out there and they all pale in comparison. I can't stress enough how incredible this software is and the fact that it is cheaper than almost all the others is just ridiculous. I can finally make real guitar tracks without a real guitar amp. PEAVY, Alien Connections "take me to your leader" This is the fastest I have ever purchased a software because I was literally afraid they would run out :o) Honestly download the demo and prepare to be amazed. Sweet, ringing, warmth of tube amps in a piece of software WOW!!!!!!!

Revalver III is a grandslam!!! I'm writing this review while at work and I can't hardly wait to get back home, to use my new software some more.

The amp models are spot on, perfect. I,m using my pedal board with revalver stand alone and the sound is excellant. I've had no latency at all. For the price, Revalver can't be beat.

If you are a tone freak like myself, then you will love Revalver.

Call and talk to Ben Price at Sweetwater and he will answer all your questions and hook you up with everything you need. Installation and set up was a snap. Then just plug and play.

  Almost the best

I've tried all and more than that to get the sound I wanted into my HD recordings. I still own all the existing amp-sim softwares I've tried so far ... some are good for something others for something else. No one of them can cover all. Playing through an amp is one thing while going to HD recording the
same sound doesn't work as expected so amp-sims have
to be evaluated properly, case by case.
When it comes to typical tube sound used for heavy stuff etc., I have also tried a tube pre-amp or a tube-distortion on top of the chain but still not getting close unfortuntaley. Now I had the chance to try this Peavey MKIII and I was quite surprised about
the sounds I could get on my HD - the effects coming along are quite crap (delays for example) so that I'd
still to try a workaround by inserting Amplitube 2 effects at the end of the chain (no amps, no cabinets) and it's already much better. This is why
I give this four stars and not five. That said I reckon this highly recommendable.

  Unbelievable!!

I've used literally ALL of the software packages out there and have loved them until now. ReValver may not look as cool as some of them, but it's just as easy or easier to use. That said, the reason we all want software is the sound and NOTHING sounds as good as this. I read on Peavey's site that they used schematics to create the sounds and I believe it. I really don't get into the 'tweaking' thing all that much, but being able to change the power supply in a Marshall or Classic 30 to a undermathed and sagging supply really has a cool '70's vibe. You will not be dissapointed with this software, no matter if you want to 'tweak' it or not.

  The Holy Grail of amp modeling.

I have used pretty much every amp modeler, since the original Line 6 and Johnson gear that came out at the turn of the century, and none of it has compared to this. It's phenomenally good. It sounds unbelievable live, but the sonic quality can even be increased further upon mixdown (this takes 4-5 times as much CPU horsepower, so it is not suitable for today's computers). I'm just awestruck.

It has massive geek appeal. Every element that contributes to the sonic character of an amp can be tweaked. You can exchange all the tubes in an amp, mess with their electrical properties, design your own amp cabinets in a similar fashion, and you can even import your own impulse responses into the speaker and convolution reverb modules. However, you don't need to worry about messing with any of that if you don't want to, and the presets will likely blow you away.

All the competitors' products sounds much worse, and cost a lot more. This one is a no-brainer. I'll always be checking out every amp modeler I can, but I don't expect this product to be eclipsed any time soon.
