The Revv Amplification D20 Joey Landreth Edition tube amplifier head takes the award-winning D20 MK2 platform and tailors it to the unique voice of one of Canada’s most celebrated guitarists. Joey Landreth is known for his expressive slide work, lush open tunings and refined tone, and this amp reflects those qualities in every note. Built with expanded headroom, a tightened low end and voicing tweaks inspired by Landreth’s D25 JL combo, the D20 JL delivers remarkable clarity and warmth at any volume. With its compact headshell design, footswitchable gain boost, onboard reverb and Two notes Torpedo reactive load, this amp is a versatile centerpiece for stage, studio or home use.
Custom Voicing Inspired by Joey Landreth
Joey Landreth’s playing style demands an amplifier that can handle low tunings, complex chord voicings and dynamic slide phrasing without losing definition. The D20 JL answers that call with refined midrange presence, a tighter low end and a sense of immediacy that keeps every note articulate. These tweaks make the amp equally effective for Joey’s baritone-style setups and for players who simply want rich cleans or edge-of-breakup tones with extra depth. Whether you favor subtle breakup or bold slide textures, the D20 JL maintains a warm yet crystal-clear voice that translates beautifully across genres, making it far more than just a "signature" amp—it’s a tool for anyone seeking balance and responsiveness.
Onboard Reverb and Switchable Gain Boost
The D20 JL expands its tonal palette with built-in digital reverb and a footswitchable gain boost, giving players the freedom to shape their sound without relying on extra pedals. The lush onboard reverb adds spaciousness and depth, while the gain boost can serve as a solo lift or as a master voicing to push the amp into rich breakup territory. Both features are accessible via the included two-button footswitch or MIDI, ensuring seamless integration into any setup. These upgrades make the D20 JL equally at home in minimal rigs that prioritize portability or in more elaborate pedal-based systems where flexibility and immediacy are key to unlocking creative performance.
Two Notes Torpedo Reactive Load for Direct Performance
At the core of the D20 JL’s versatility is its built-in Two notes Torpedo reactive load and DynIR technology. This system allows players to run the amp silently without a cabinet, sending professional-grade, impulse-response-based tones directly to front-of-house or a recording interface via XLR. The rotary switch provides six cabinet presets, while deeper customization is available through USB with access to up to 128 presets via MIDI. You can also run the XLR out alongside a traditional speaker cabinet for the best of both worlds—consistent DI tone for recording or live sound, with onstage punch from your cab. It’s an ideal solution for modern players seeking flexibility without sacrificing tube warmth.
Rugged Revv Build Designed for Portability and Reliability
Beyond tone-shaping and advanced features, the D20 JL was designed to be a practical, gig-ready solution for working musicians. Housed in a lightweight Baltic birch headshell covered in Joey’s custom Tolex and hardware choices, it weighs just 15.5 lb., making it easy to transport. Inside, the amp runs on a pair of 6V6 power tubes and 12AX7 preamp tubes, delivering authentic tube dynamics while offering simple bias testing and robust protection features. Its transparent buffered effects loop, USB connectivity and intuitive controls ensure that the amp can adapt to any environment. With Revv’s Canadian-built reliability and Joey Landreth’s signature voicing, the D20 JL is built to inspire confidence onstage and in the studio.
