This file can be dialed in to a preset profile of the instrument you intend to play (Les Paul, Strat, etc.) to better tune the performance of the profile, but this isn’t necessary.
PEAVEY REVALVER 4 AMP STORE SERIES
To record an amp, you need to run an audio file generated by ACT Combo into your amp that plays a series of notes, feedback, and chords with varying levels of sustain and attack. This then becomes a preset tone unto itself. Imagine running a classic two-microphone setup (one at the edge of the speaker cone and one six inches away) and blending them just like you would for a recording to have the right amount of punch and presence. You can use multiple microphones to capture various aspects of an amp’s sound for later blending.

The Peavey ACT Combo analyzes the tone and profile of real amps and cabs recorded into a DAW (I tested Pro Tools and Logic) to create a model of the captured tone.

Using the same ACT technology to a different end, the Peavey ACT Rack profiles existing tones and EQ structure and applies them to parts recorded with ReValver 4 to mirror (or modify) how the track sits in the mix with the rest of the recording. The Peavey ACT Combo is designed to clone guitar tones in recordings or from a live amp and import them into ReValver 4 as a standalone preset. While Peavey remains committed to expanding the ReValver 4’s digital offerings, they’ve also decided to hand the keys to their proprietary sampling algorithm over to ReValver 4 users with their new ACT Combo and ACT Rack releases.īased on Peavey’s ACT (Audio Cloning Technology) modeling software, both Peavey ACT Combo and ACT Rack require Peavey ReValver 4 and are downloadable through the Peavey Amp Store or via an in-app purchase for Windows and MacOS. ReValver 4 continues to be a strong contender for affordable direct-to-HD recording, and has since added 19 amps, 21 pedals, 10 effects, 48 cabinets, 36 input models, and 12 presets to their growing library of sounds available for purchase.

Peavey ReValver 4 launched to great reviews in 2014 as an incredibly useful, guitarist-oriented amp and effects software modeling suite at a price point significantly lower than the competition.
