Page 2: What Is Revalver?
Revalver manual 2 what is revalver? Revalver is a software guitar amplifier simulator. -why would anyone want to simulate an amplifier? -because amplifiers designed for guitars are very spe- cial, and have very little in common with ordinary hi-fi amplifiers. Guitar amps distort the signal in a way ...
Page 3: How Does Revalver Work?
Revalver manual 3 constructing a program how does revalver work? Revalver is a directx plugin (a directshow filter). It can be used in any directx compatible program, such as many kinds of multi trackers and waveform editors. A revalver program is built from the combination of the revalver modules. ...

The modules follow cer- tain physical laws; for example: the following simple rules applies to the order of modules: speakers must appear after a power amp. Studio effects m...

When saving or loading settings for the room simulator module, only the reference to the ‘filename.Room’ is stored, not the...

Multi trackers a multi tracker is a host application that can play several waveforms simultaneously. This implies that you could have any numb...

Revalver manual 7 multi trackers information (such as stereo panning). Further more, using a stereo module (such as reverb or chorus) on mono audio will not produce a stereo effect because as described pre- viously, mono input generates mono output. Given a mono input, revalver will generate a mono ...

Revalver manual 8 multi trackers given a stereo input, revalver will generate a stereo out- put. Mono modules will merge stereo streams into mono automatically. Examples of mono modules are preamps, poweramps and speakers without room ambience. Examples of ste- reo modules are most effects and speak...

Revalver manual 9 handling of a module techniques for creating programs revalver was designed to be used in ways similar to real life hardware. The modules have the same look and feel as ordinary 19” rack modules. By constructing a chain of modules a unique sound can created. Handling of a module wh...

(sooner or later you will have more modules than will fit in the window...) if you feel uncomfortable with turning the round knobs, you can double click on the knobs and use th...

Revalver manual 11 a chain of modules! Thought of as stomp boxes (pedals). When an effect is used after a poweramp it can be thought of as a mixer- room effect. Poweramps a poweramp must be placed after a preamp. A poweramp does not have any user adjustable parameters. It is a slave amplifier. To dr...

Revalver manual 12 a chain of modules! Descriptions of modules this chapter will discuss the most unique types of mod- ules in revalver. The preamps most preamps have similar parameters: input drive (this basically controls the amount of distor- tion. It is the input drive to the preamp. The higher ...
