The result of more than 10 years of tweaking and development, Revv Amplification’s Dynamis D40 merges the greatest American and British tube amp tones of the past with a vast array of cutting-edge functionality features. This 40-watt tube amplifier head comes equipped with two channels ? Clean and Overdrive ? designed to capture everything from full-bodied sparkling cleans to ripping leads drenched with preamp saturation. Each channel sports its own dedicated set of EQ/Gain/Master Volume controls, with global Presence and Depth knobs for further fine-tuning. It’s a fine foundation for old-school tube tones, but only the beginning of the Dynamis D40’s superior design ? a Two Notes Torpedo-embedded reactive load, DynIrs, buffered serial FX loop, 40/10-watt power scaling, and extensive USB/Bluetooth/MIDI functions elevate this amp’s stage and studio utility far beyond any retro-style tube amp. All in all, the Revv Amplification Dynamis D40 is a true revelation in the world of guitar amplification and a must-have for the musician who reveres the authentic tube tones of the past but demands all the best of modern amplifier design.

Tube Amp vs Solid State -?What's the Difference?


A traditional tube amp at heart





For all its modern-minded bells and whistles, the Dynamis D40’s design starts with a rock-solid 2-channel foundation well-steeped in the tube amp tradition. This amplifier’s classic 2-channel operation begins with a full-bodied Clean channel voiced to deliver pristine, full-bodied sparkle and harmonically rich edge-of-breakup bite. Next, the Overdrive channel delivers creamy tube saturation in spades, effortlessly capturing American and British-inspired gain characteristics. What makes the D40 Dynamis so versatile? A supremely flexible control section, offering a combination of channel-specific tone-shaping controls (3-band EQ, Master Volume/Gain), in addition to a host of global functions (Bright switch, Boost switch, Depth, and Presence). Finally, the Dynamis D40 features a vintage-voiced digital reverb circuit to widen out your sound with a bit of lush sonic space.





Transparent buffered serial FX loop





Ask any pedal-addicted Sweetwater guitarist, and they’ll tell you that a transparent FX loop is crucial for the musician running a powerhouse pedalboard. Fortunately, the Dynamis D40’s buffered serial FX loop is about as transparent as they come, making it a breeze to integrate your favorite time-based and modulation effects.





Integrated Two Notes technology





The Dynamis D40 continues Revv Amplification’s innovative marriage of tube amp design with Two Notes Torpedo technology, allowing you to record, practice, or even hit the stage anywhere without needing a guitar cabinet. From the stereo direct XLR outputs to the switchable internal/cabinet loading capabilities, the Dynamis D40 can handle any stage or recording situation, thanks to its embedded Two Notes Torpedo. Moreover, the Dynamis D40 harnesses the power of Two Notes’ DynIR virtual cabinet architecture to give you breathtakingly accurate cab tones when going direct or practicing through the headphone jack. Lastly, the Dynamis D40’s Bluetooth capabilities allow you to connect to the Torpedo Remote app to access additional effects, virtual power amps, and more for an almost infinite level of sonic possibilities.





MIDI, USB, Bluetooth, and footswitch control capabilities





Superior sonic options require superior sonic control. Luckily, the Dynamis D40 is packed to the brim with versatile control capabilities, including a 4-button programmable footswitch to flip through your channels and favorite functions. Furthermore, the Dynamis D40 features rear-panel MIDI thru and MIDI in ports for MIDI PC/CC control, plus Omni functionality for headache-free MIDI programming. Lastly, the Dynamis D40 also comes equipped with USB and Bluetooth functionality to edit and program your Two Notes parameters.
