Peavey ReValver MK III
http://www.peavey.com/products/revalver/
aku dah try a few amp modeling softwares mcm GearBox 3, Guitar Rig 2, Amplitube 2, Amplitube Metal dan GTR 3... so far aku sgt berpuas hati dgn GTR 3 (produk keluaran Waves + PRS).. until semalam aku sempat try kejap ReValver MK III keluaran Peavey! Holy shit! akhirnya dapat gak aku merasa main amp Peavey JSX, Triple XXX, 6560+ dan mcm2 lagi model tube amp Peavey yang hi-end dan mahal giler babi!
so far aku sgt puas hati dgn sound dia... aku download trial version, so ada certain things yg annoying la (takleh save preset, kalau load as VST dia keluarkan noise pada certain interval)... produk ni masih baru dah still ada a few bugs... tapi takde la masalah besar....
highly recommended for those who are looking for amp modeling targeted for METAL sound!!! even Amplitube Metal pon cannot go (in my opinion la)... Amplitube Metal ada Peavey 5150, Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, Randall (Pantera!), dan Marshall 100W... tapi aku still prefer ReValver, maybe sbb aku mmg minat Peavey dari dulu lagi kot... (dulu berangan nak beli Triple XXX version solid state heheh) skarang aku dpt main the real Triple XXX! (virtual la- tak real sgt heheh - but sonds real enough to me!)
Model yg aku suka so far is the Peavey 6560+ head, letak NoiseGate + TubeScreamer before the amp, letak 6560 power amp lepas head, then add some reverb after the cabs, then pilih mic + position... sweet metal tone! sangat garau! tak terlalu digital mcm Line 6 GearBox... bagi aku GearBox is out-dated! hahahah all Hail ReValver MK III !!!!

Malam tadi aku terlebih rajin lak nak merekod sample sound dari ReValver ni...
So ni hasil dia... ada 4 segment... aku guna model Triple XXX, JSX, 6560 dan 6560+...
Semua riffs di cilok dari Arch Enemy album "Rise Of The Tyrant"...
sbb guitarist diaorang mmg pakai Triple XXX and JSX hehe...
tapi riffing aku mcm hampeh laa - tak mcm Ammot brothers hahaha
Deadzid - ReValver MK III (sound sample).mp3
(right-click & "Save Target As..." to download)
info:
[00:00] - Triple XXX - riffs from "In This Shallow Grave"
[00:23] - JSX - riffs from "The Day You Died"
[00:45] - 6560 - riffs from "Rise Of The Tyrant"
[01:09] - 6560+ (rhythms) / JSX (solo) - intro from "Revolution Begins"
enjoy....

Hmmmnn
1st - Sounds really tinny...no real body to it, really digital sounding.
2nd - slightly better - but still quite harsh on the higher mids
3rd - Better than the 2nd one but that digital harshness is still there, This almost sounds similar to Hughes And Kettners Warp VSTi..
4th - again sounds really tinny and weak... takde body. I really can hear the digital fuzz.
Peavey should just stick to amplifiers instead of trying to jump on the modelling bandwagon. Trying too hard to grab a slice of the "modelling pie" i think and maybe nowadays they aren't really doing very well selling amps....
Hmnnn sorry Zid. I'll give this one a miss...

I think the 3rd one is the best of the four and it might be useable in the way that Omar suggested.. Coba up kan lower mids sikit, kurangkan gain/distortion and maybe the notes and the natural tone of the guitar will be more defined.
Aku rasa macam this ReValver ni macam sucked out the natural tone of your guitar... Lagi satu the real amp itself takdelah sound harsh macam ni... But seriously aku rasa to be fair aku kena try myself ReValver kan??

Ehehehe pukul 3 pagi dah ni...okeh I downloaded the trial version and I made a short clip...
Hmnnn... I used the 6560 on the right, and the 6560+ emulation on the left... using the Vintage 4x12 cabinet emulation. Tak taruk noisegate...tak taruk ape2 effect lepas tu...JUst the amplifier and the cabinet.
I take back what I said... 
I am pleased with the sound lah!!! Memang bagus la menatang ni... dapat HARDCORE punya sound!! Me likey!! oh yes....
My clip is  HERE
Actually it's really easy to get a bad sound when i was tweaking with the knobs... the trick is to not go overboard with the cabinet emulation bass and treble controls.. Take it easy on the gain and you should be able to get a good organic sound.
So there, a fair trial for the ReValver. I give it a 8/10

hehe setelah aku dgr balik rekoding aku tu, aku pun suka the 3rd one... tak tau la boleh dpt balik ke tak setting tu since this trial version takleh save patches!
ridzi punya clip i think is better, tapi a bit bassy bagi aku... dunno la maybe headphone murahan yg aku pakai ni takleh nak wat true judgement..
well back to the drawing board....

itu la pasal, "The Day U Died" tu mcm senang je nak cari sound dia..
actually takde la sebijik, ade lain skit...
sbb Mike Ammot pakai JSX rasanya...
So basic tone tu dah ada...

Aku memang suka fatness, memang bassy sikit, tu sebab aku suka Vintage speakers macam Celestion V30's, sebab tone dia memang 'berat'
