Intr oducon Congra tulaons on your purchase of ReV alver® MK III ! ReV alv er MKIII is a rev oluonary 64-bit amplier modeling soware that captur es the true characteris cs of vacuum tubes while allow - ing users unprecedent ed contr ol over their tonality and gain structures.
Loading the VST or AU plug-in into the DA W On a Mac, a plug-in in the VST or AU forma t is automacally located by the host and no acon needs to be tak en for the VST / AU host to nd the ReV alver® plug-in. It should be automacally list ed among the available plug-ins aer a rescan.
Connecng the Guitar to the sound card Here are three wa ys to connect your Guitar to the computer: 1) The simplest opon is to hook it up to the sound card Line-In jack using a suitable connector , usu ally a 1/4” to 1/8” adapter .
3) The middle road, which probably won’t cost you anything, but could be almost as good as a DI box, is the use of an ordinary stomp box , which in fact is a sort of DI box. It could be a pedal of any kind; a distoron pedal, chorus, echo, etc.
4) The best opon is, of course, to purchase a good quality Digital Audio Interf ace. There are sev - er al on the marke t made specically for Guitar for under $100. Look for a device with ASIO (audio stream input/output) drivers, which is an industry standar d and will work well with Re - V alver® MKIII.
Recor ding the Guitar with or without eects? Should you use hardwar e compressor s, distoron or other eects bef ore you recor d the signal? It is your personal pref erence. If you can’t live without “that special sound, “ then you should prob - ably recor d it that wa y .

T weaking modules One of the most powerful fea tures of ReV alver® MK III is the ability to tweak each parame ter of a module other than the usual knobs and buons on the fron t of the module. In an eort to explain the T weak mode in ReV alver , we’ve wrien some short explanaons of each tweak in the tube tw eak GUI.
The T otal Harmonic Distoron (THD) analyzer display s the relaonship between the input sound and the distort ed output sound. The Oscilloscope view illustra tes how a module alters the sine wa ve. It is av ailable for each module as a whole, and for any tube component thereof .
Y ou can save the Impulse Response (IR) of a module to a .w av le in 44.1 kHz stereo. The impulse response is praccally the same view as the frequency analyz er , but this tool allows you to save the response to disk.
The T ube Tw eak GUI One of the most powerful fea tures of ReV alver® MK III is the detail and number of parame ters that can be used to ne tune any tube circuit in a module. In the module’ s T weak GUI, click on a tube icon to bring up the tube T weak GUI.
On the tube T weak GUI, the editable paramet ers are divided into two groups, the Phy sical and the Non-Phy sical (which has no mean ing in reality but can be used to enhance the sonic properes, anyw ay). Depending on which tube you wish to tweak, you can choose between triodes or pentodes.
The coupling capacitor remo ves the high voltag e DC oset from the output si gnal of the tube st age. This high-pass frequency is usually between 5-10 Hz, but if it is set higher then a user can change the tonal and dynamic properes of the stage.
MIDI contr ol and automa on In the stand-alone ver sion, all knobs, fader s and buons can be controlled by MIDI. The VST and AU plug-in can be contr olled using nave automa on, but not all paramet ers can be automat ed.
