Revv Amplification D20 JL Edition Amp Head (Joey Landreth Edition)

The Revv D20 JL is a special collaboration between Joey Landreth & Revv Amplification. Built on the brand new D20 MK2 platform, it is a versatile clean / edge of breakup amp made to Joey's specs with modifications based on his D25 JL amp. Perfect with or without pedals, & with or without a cabinet, the D20 JL makes for a fantastic, portable centerpiece of your rig no matter how simple or complex. While you can find more history of the D20 MK2 in general on its product page, read below for specific info on the D20 JL & how Joey uses the amp.

Joey's unique style utilizing quite low open tunings & lots of slide calls for a sound with extra headroom, a tight low end, & a bit of a "fast" feel to keep everything together. His amps also need to be able to handle plenty of aggressive pedals & complex effects. Joey had been a long time user of Revv amps, but as he used his Dynamis amps more & more, eventually we wanted to see what specific tweaks he would make. Much like the D25 JL, the D20JL has these voicing changes to make sure he achieves a warm but crystal clear sound regardless of what else is in the signal chain. While playing slide in Open C with 19-65 gauge strings may sound like a niche use case, many players of all kinds told us they really liked the midrange of Joey's custom voicing, & found that it excels at slightly dirty tones.

While Joey often keeps things straightforward & plays the D20 JL with his matching 1x12 JL cabinet equipped with Revv's exclusive custom RV-90 speaker, he has also historically taken advantage of the D20's more advanced options like its Two notes functionality & effects loop. This includes various stereo rigs, wet/dry setups, & even utilizing the Two notes Torpedo's own reverb on the XLR out. The D20 JL runs the whole gamut: whether you want "just" a great tube amp, or plan on using all of the quality of life features to their fullest. Of course, just like the new D20 MK2, Joey's amp benefits from the new onboard reverb & making the gain boost switchable as well.

The most important part of the D20 to us is the tone, & we knew we were on the right track with the original D20 when artists like Joey plugged in & said "wow, that's really good!" without knowing about any of the special features yet. For the D20 JL, we're proud to provide a customized amp based on Joey's input. Not only does it give you, the player, another tonal option to find exactly what's right for you, it's also just cool seeing his custom aesthetic choices & name on the front - he's an amazing artist. If you're looking for an organic, reliable, portable tube amp that's well suited to any kind of performance or recording situation, there's a good chance that the D20 JL will give you the exact clarity, feel, & tone that you've been looking for.
