ReVolt Guitar and ReVolt Bass have exploded onto the scene with a raft of positive reviews and feedback from our influencer and user communities alike. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past 2 months, these 3 channel all-analog guitar and bass amp simulators have been engineered to deliver on a singular mission: to empower you with the pinnacle in foundation tone. 

We all agree, DI is convenient. It’s reliable. It’s a pure unadulterated tone that’s surgically controlled to the smallest iota. There’s just one snag; It lacks the all-important warmth synonymous with tube amps. The ReVolt Series’ 12AX7 preamp tube running at 200V has been expertly tuned to enrich your tone with undeniable tube mojo. The result is revolutionary. You retain all the convenience of a DI signal, now with the warmth, the bite, the all-important response only tubes can provide. 

At Two notes, we pride ourselves on listening to – and acting upon – the feedback from our valued user community. Better yet, we’re committed to making our all-new ReVolt Series the best they can possibly be. With this in mind, we’re elated to announce ReVolt Firmware Update v1.15, featuring a raft of stability and performance enhancement to ensure you get the absolute best out of your ReVolt device. 

Head here today to download the latest Firmware, installation guide and release notes!

REVOLT SERIES V1.15 RELEASE NOTES

      Hi Rob, Ross from Two notes here. Yes the Firmware is updated via MIDI – in the firmware download package there is a full ReadMe that guides you though this – let us know if you have any questions concerning this!

      • Jesse Cantor says:

        The manual does not specifiy whether the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT need to be connected. Do we just connect to MIDI in? Do we only connect MIDI out? Or both? The suggested interface (the MIDIMate) has two male plugs so does that mean we plug into both the MIDI in and the Midi out on the pedal?

        Also, the instructions about sending the file is confusing. If we are using Windows 10 do we select “3-ARTURIA MIDI Out” ? I just purchased the pedal and am waiting for it to arrive. So I would like to make sure I have everything correctly up to date when it arrives. The computer screenshots in the instructions are also in French which is not helpful for those of us who do not speak French. Is there a clearer tutorial that we can follow?

        Thank you

        • ross says:

          Hi Jesse, Thanks for getting in touch. If you have just bought the unit new, you will likely not need to update it. In terms of your MIDI enquiry, you will need to simply plug this into the MIDI In of the ReVolt. Did you check the other folders in the download package? There is an English ReadMe file in there too! If you need any further support or would like to speak to a specialist, please contact out support desk at Support.Two-notes.com.

          Thank you!

      Hi Guillaume, Thanks for reaching out! Ross from Two notes here.
      We are able to action some updates via MIDI on the unit – the firmware itself does not effect the signal flow, rather it alters some of the switching functionality for a better user experience. Please let me know if there is anything else I can clarify for you today!

    Is anything coming allowing the Revolt to work better with the Cab M in a live setting? It would be amazing to be able to trigger changing Cabs/Mics/Rooms/Gain per channel, and even the boosts within the channels, at the stomp of a foot switch. Loving the revolt btw, thanks!

    • ross says:

      Hi Eric, Thanks for getting in touch. At this stage there is nothing planned that we can officially comment on, however we will stay that we are always working on new and exciting developments so stay tuned for updates! 🙂

  2. Matthew says:

    So this pedal is pretty great, DEFINITELY worth the price tag, but there were a few comments and questions I had; 1) the 4-cable method really steps on my tone and dynamics; felt like a blanket was thrown over the entire tone stack; kinda rendered the ‘modern’ tone virtually useless; maybe on a solid state amp it wouldn’t sizzle as much, but with my SVT it comes out waaaaay too distorted to cut through, a la Darkglass, though this may also be specific to my amp; the modern channel sounds great when I just go direct from the pedal output into the amplifier, so that is how I am currently configured; 2) my question, I cant find a schematic for the pedal; I’ve noticed it says the return is unbuffered, and the volume controls are pre-send, so; can I go straight to the amp input from the send without having to come back into the pedal? My impression is that no matter what I do within the pedal, once it gets outputted it sounds like the analog is getting stepped-on into a solid state grittiness which I am trying to avoid… 3) Are there other cab-sims INSIDE the pedal? I ran this direct into the board, at the last performance, and it was cutting through with the same frequencies I was trying to avoid (solid-state feel in the high-end), and I was hoping the 8×10 wasn’t the only option?

    This pedal is amazing, please don’t mistake me; the ability to just bust out my board at home and plug in headphones along with any backing tracks I may need already makes it worth twice what I paid (imho), however; the grit seems to get exaggerated in the same kinda way which has made me wary of any VCA-based amplification/effects.

    • ross says:

      Hi Matthew, Thanks for getting in touch – Ross from Two notes here. This may be to do with your Amplifier’s power amp section – have you had a chance to test this with another amp by chance?

      In answer to question 2 – you most certainly can! 🙂

      Sadly there are no alternative cab sims in the unit as this is an all-analog cab sim, however you could try combining with a C.A.B. M+ which will give you access to our DynIR archive in a live context. For convenience I have included a link below for more information on this.

  3. Anthony hill says:

    I can update revolt through one of the torpedo cab sims. What about the cabinets I can’t use cause can’t connect to internet?

    • ross says:

      Ross from Two notes here! Thanks for getting in touch Anthony. There is an offline update procedure for DynIRs when using ReVolt in conjunction with Wall of Sound – more information on this in the link below!

      > https://support.two-notes.com/knowledgebase.php?article=124

      In terms of the analog cab sim on the ReVolt itself, this cannot be updated. As such, we advise using Wall of Sound or the C.A.B. M+ if you would like to experiment with different cab tones

      Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with today.

    I bought the Revolt for guitar. Congratulation, it’s amazing! The only down side is the boost that I found not enough tight compare to a tube screamer (it’s actually the set up I’m using) and a little bit harsh. I hope this post will help, but I stronghly recommend this pedal. Sorry for my english, I’m from Quebec, Canada.🤘

    • ross says:

      Hi Jean-sebastien, Thanks for getting in touch and we are so happy to hear you are enjoying the ReVolt. Please note, the Boost on the ReVolt is a hybrid subtle overdrive and boost circuit – in addition, it has been configured to take your pedals like a dream which is likely why the Tubescreamer is working out well for you! If you have any questions, please dont hesitate to let us know! 🙂

  5. WesT says:

    Hi, I was attempting a firmware update on my Revolt Bass. The erase went smooth, but the update to 1.15 made SendSX freeze and the revolt unit flash 3 orange and four blue lights? Just sits there. Unplug it and plug it back in and it is back to one green and five blue, waiting for the update.

    Any suggestions? A Windows 11 pro OS.

    Thanks, Wes

    • ross says:

      Good morning Wes,

      We’re so sorry to hear this, could we ask that you contact our support desk at Support.two-notes.com and we will get you up and running in a snap!

      Kind regards,

      Ross

    • WesT says:

      I did find a solution. I used a Macbook Pro, which failed on the first attempt. I then decided to upload the erase file and retired the update. This time it worked…..

      Thanks, Wes

      • ross says:

        Hi Wes, that is great news! Thank you for letting us know! If there is anything else we can help you with, please do not hesitate to let us know!

    Hi Guys,
    Just got the Revolt for guitar,it really is a superb unit well done!

    Quick question: I have a delay in the FX loop of the Revolt, when recording into my DAW via the DI the delay is also getting recorded. Is this normal? I was hoping the delay would not get recorded so I could add this in the mixing process. Thanks so much.

    • ross says:

      Good morning John,

      Thanks for getting in touch! The DI out is post the FX loop and as such, anything that is included in the FX loop will be sent via this output – the same applies for the 1/4-inch output.

      May I ask whether you are using a C.A.B. M+? If so, you can add this to the first position in your FX loop and send the DI signal from this device which would accommodate your needs perfectly.

      Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with today.

      Kind regards,

      Ross

      • John says:

        Hi Ross,
        Thanks so much for the reply. I have just ordered the C.A.B M+. Should be delivered tomorrow 👍 I’m not sure how I would connect this from your description above (So sorry new to all this lol) Would you be able to give me more detail on how to connect this up? Sorry to be a pain.

        • ross says:

          Hi John, No problem at all – we are happy to help! You can connect the C.A.B. M+ to either the effects loop or the 1/4-inch OUT output to add our class-leading DynIR cabinet emulation to your rig. Let us know if there are any other specifics you need!

          • john Boswell says:

            Hi Ross,

            My CAB M arrived today and I just to confirm the setup is correct with Revolt and delay pedals.

            1. come out of the Revolts FX loop Send onto the CAB M input. Input set to 0db.

            2. Come out of the CAB M line out into my Delay pedals input.

            3. Come out the my Delay pedal output into the Revolts FX Return.

            4. Come out of the CAB M DI into my Interface.

            Is this correct?

            Thanks

          • ross says:

            Hi John,

            Thank you for getting back to me, I would suggest the following actually.

            1. come out of the Revolts FX loop Send onto the CAB M input. Input set to 0db.

            2. Come out of the CAB M line out into my Delay pedals input.

            3. Come out the my Delay pedal output into the Revolts FX Return.

            4. Come out of the ReVolt’s XLR Output into my Interface – please ensure you have turned of the cabinet emulation on the ReVolt.

            Please let me know if this helps!

  7. john Boswell says:

    Hi Ross

    Thanks so much for this. I’ll give this a try when I get from work.

    With this setup will be able to hear the delay but it will not get recorded to my DAW?

    Thanks again.

    • ross says:

      Hi John,

      Thanks for getting back to me. In this setup you will hear the delay and this will be recorded to your DAW. If you dont want to record your delay, please configure as follows.

      1. come out of the Revolts FX loop Send onto the CAB M input. Input set to 0db.

      2. Come out of the CAB M line out into my Delay pedals input.

      3. Come out the my Delay pedal output into the Revolts FX Return.

      4. Come out of the CAB M DI into my Interface – used for recording only and not monitoring

      5. Come out of the ReVolt XLR Out into your interface – used for monitoring only and not recording

      Let me know if this makes sense and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

      Kind regards,

      Ross

    Hello,
    I’m using the revolt guitar in replacement of an Amp and I’m very happy with the result !
    I have tried to update the firmware because of the “pop” I get when I swith from crunch to clean and I did not managed to do it succesfully.
    I’ve connected the USB/DIN cable to my laptop (windows) directly to the revolt guitar.
    I’ve used the Bome Send SX software on my laptop. It says that the erase file has been sent sucessfully but the lights are still 1 clean and 5 lead.
    Then I sent the v1.15 and I got the same result.
    When I check the firmware version I’m still in the 1.12 and not the 1.15.

    My questions :
    – What did i do wrong ?
    – When I launch the SendSX software, and I select the Midi out option I only have the choice between Microsoft MidiMapper and Microsoft Wavetable synth (and not the Arturia midi out). Which is the good option ?
    – The USB/DIN cable has 2 DIN connectors. How do you recognize the IN and the OUT ?

    Thank you for your answers.
    Bernard

    I have another “issue”.. when im checking firmware version i have two blinks on channel A….. i have firmware version 2.00???

      • lucas says:

        Ofcourse Ross, i will. I think that unit works fine, there is no loud cracks while changing channels, maybe a little. Thank You for Your reply! Best regards!

  11. Victor Beaumont says:

    Hello, I just bought the revolt bass edition and it sounds great. No noise for the headphone and xlr. Unfortunately when I use the output into my amp I get an awful hum. This happens even when the amp and revolt are turned down.

    • ross says:

      Hi Victor, Ross from Two notes here! So sorry to hear this – are you able to detail how you have this connected please? Ideally you would want to send this into your amplifiers FX return as ReVolt outputs a line level signal. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
