Revv Amplification Puts AI to the Test with the Chatbreaker Overdrive

Revv Amps are known for collaborating with artists & engineers, but they took inspiration from a new place for their Chatbreaker overdrive.

​“Really, no matter what we prompted - we couldn’t get ChatGPT to put a functional pedal together. But I was looking at what it was returning & realized - it’s a Bluesbreaker! Well, it’s trying to be a Bluesbreaker. I always thought it would be fun to put my spin on that circuit, so after some major redesigns & testing - the Chatbreaker was born! It has that wonderful‘ warm-but-clear’ quality to add some old-school mojo to your sound. So did the experiment work? Not really. I don’t think A.I. is ready to replace all of us just yet. I guess this is more of an Artificial Idea with Human Intelligence.” -Dan Trudeau, President & Head Designer
