Revv Amplification Revv Amplification Northern Mauler Glenn Fricker Signature Distortion (Black)

Say No to Boring Guitar Tone. The Revv Northern Mauler is a sonic assault weapon developed in collaboration with award-winning metal engineer and outspoken gear critic Glenn Fricker. This is not just a signature pedal; it is a dual-engine distortion system designed to solve a common studio problem: how to achieve the raw, chaotic energy of the legendary "Swedish Chainsaw" sound while maintaining the clarity and punch of a modern boutique tube amp. Housed in a double-sized enclosure with custom "frostbitten" bear artwork, the Northern Mauler is hand-built in Canada for the player who demands their tone be anything but sterile. Two Independent Circuits, One Masterful Blend The Northern Mauler contains two entirely separate analog circuits that you can transition between using the precision Blend knob. The Amp Circuit: An all-new Revv high-gain voice that isn't just a copy of the G3 or G4. It is custom-tuned specifically for Glenn’s preferences—offering a percussive, amp-in-a-box feel with a 3-band EQ to sculpt your foundation. The Chainsaw Circuit: Revv’s obsessive homage to the iconic HM-2. This circuit provides the grimy, grindy mayhem of classic melodic death metal and hardcore. Instead of standard tone controls, it features Bite (Treble) and Growl (Bass/Mids) to fine-tune the "chainsaw" character. The Secret Weapon: Parallel Saturation The true power of the Northern Mauler lies in its ability to run both circuits in parallel. By blending a high-gain amp tone with a touch of the Chainsaw circuit, you add a layer of "grit" and "hair" that makes guitars stand out in a dense mix without losing their low-end structural integrity. The global Giv’r knob controls the saturation of both engines simultaneously, while the Master Volume ensures you can hit your amp or interface at the perfect level. Whether you are transforming a clean amp into a metal monster or boosting a high-gain rig, the Northern Mauler provides a level of aggressive versatility that is unmatched in the industry.
