Revv Amplification Puts AI to the Test with the Chatbreaker Overdrive

Revv Amplification Puts AI to the Test with the Chatbreaker Overdrive

The Chatbreaker is based on the classic Bluesbreaker circuit, but with considerable updates made by Revv’s President Dan Trudeau.


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

The Revv Amplification Chatbreaker features:

  • Revv’s take on the iconic “Is it clean? Is it dirty?” Bluesbreaker design, optimized for touch-sensitivity & clarity.
  • Analog Heart - Add organic character & push to your sound with an all-analog signal path.
  • Simple, Perfect - Interactive Drive, Level, & Tone controls provide a huge variety of tones.
  • Extremely limited run of 500 units.
  • 9v center negative external power supply only, 18mA minimum.
  • Compact design w/ top jacks, true bypass, & custom “A.I.” graphic.
  • Manufactured in Canada to rugged quality standards w/a 2-year registered limited warranty.

When the Beatles’ bass duties fell to rhythm guitarist Paul McCartney, he fully adopted the role and soon became one of the undeniable bass greats.

Many listeners and musicians can tell if a bass player is really a guitarist in disguise. Here’s how you can brush up on your bass chops.

Was bass your first instrument, or did you start out on guitar? Some of the world’s best bass players started off as guitar players, sometimes by chance. When Stuart Sutcliffe—originally a guitarist himself—left the Beatles in 1961, bass duties fell to rhythm guitarist Paul McCartney, who fully adopted the role and soon became one of the undeniable bass greats.
