Revv D20 JL Joey Landreth Signature Compact Head with Reverb
Additional Photos:
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 Revv is the tone, & they knew they 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, Revv is 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.

Q & A

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
