Introducing the D20 JL, a remarkable creation born from the collaborative genius of renowned guitarist Joey Landreth. As a longtime Revv collaborator and award-winning touring and recording artist, Joey is celebrated for his baritone slide playing, impeccable phrasing, and profound appreciation for high-quality guitar gear. The D20 JL retains the boutique tube clean and edge of breakup tones, along with the cutting-edge direct performance technology of the D20 MK2. However, this model is uniquely tailored for Joey, featuring custom voicing tweaks as well as distinctive tolex, grille, chassis, and knob selections. Whether you choose to use it with or without pedals, or with or without a cabinet, the D20 JL serves as a fantastic and portable centerpiece for any rig, simple or complex.

Revving up your sound, the D20 JL delivers versatile ‘clean’ tones inspired by the classic Californian amps that have graced countless albums. The innovative Dynamis clean tone integrates essential changes to unlock a high-end chime, vital across various genres. While we refer to these as ‘clean’ tones, the amp boasts a wide gain range that can easily reach crunchy territory, all while maintaining clarity. Additionally, the influence of D-style amps is evident in its midrange character, ensuring that your tone cuts through effortlessly.

Delving into the technical details, the D20 JL introduces a gain boost that significantly alters the amp’s voicing, now accessible via MIDI or the included footswitch for dynamic ‘2-channel’ versatility. Featuring lush digital reverb and a transparent buffered FX loop for your favorite pedals, this amp allows you to seamlessly integrate your effects. The power section easily switches from 20W to 4W, all while maintaining a manageable weight of approximately 16 lbs, thanks to its newly designed tolexed headshell.

For those who crave flexibility, the D20 JL shines with its Reactive Load and IR capabilities. While the D20 MK2 truly excels when cranked through your favorite cabinet, you certainly won’t want to overlook its direct capabilities. The XLR-out provides a consistently mix-ready tone that mirrors the authenticity of a tube amp—because it genuinely is one! This makes it perfect for silent stages, studio sessions, headphone practice, and even allows you to edit and load your own IRs and add post-effects for an enhanced experience.

Joey’s custom modifications reflect his distinct style, focusing on tight low end and rapid attack, allowing for seamless integration with various pedals and effects. Like the D25 JL, the D20 JL features voicing alterations that yield a warm yet clear sound. Although playing slide in Open C with 19-65 gauge strings may seem niche, numerous players across genres have praised the midrange of Joey's custom voicing, noting its excellence in achieving slightly dirty tones that resonate well in any musical setting.
