Update: Thanks all for applying - in only 24 h, I found more willing testers than will ever buy the program. Ok, no not reallly, but I think we will have to pause here for a moment. I am sure a few more testers will find their way to help out with ReValver Mk II but I am calling off the search in this thread for now. Thanks all!

For the duration of the development of ReValver Mk II VST/AU/DirectX for Mac and Windows, Alien Connections is looking for a small number of guitarists and music lovers to help pushing ReValver Mk II in the direction of superior Tone and Feeling.

Want to sign up as a advising designer? This is your chance to tweak the Tone and internals of the actual components of ReValver Mk II. Please browse your way to ReValver Mk II on www.alienconnections.com/products_revalverii.htm

We want Your ears, Your fingers and hear Your needs!

Regards, Michael Ljunggren, Alien Connections

Looks very interesting indeed, as the original revalver (although a tad disappointing sound), was one of the first true native amp sims long time a go.

PM sent.

It's just that there is a serious lack of ampsim developers working on a truly MEGA-METAL tone (nu-metal, if you have to call it that) and that is the ONLY tone I'm after. Are you going to cater for us HEAVY bastards? hehe

Then sign up and make the difference. If you have a schematic or similar I can have a look at it perhaps we can make something happen.

Of course "regular" metal sounds will be abundant (as in any amp-sim) in RII, but it is that "extra" that need to be fine tuned.

Wow. Blast from the past. Seems awful late in the day to revive this old beastie, but I still use mine, so it'll be interesting to see what happens...

It's a whole brand new program. Mostly, only the concepts and name are the same.

How so?

Well, to be honest, some of us old-timers have known of Revalver from back-in-the-day... Other ampsims have come and overshadowed it, sound-wise (in realism)

IMHO to make a success you need to, at the very least, equal your current competitors or better still, beat them. Thus, the need for a completely NEW look

Being partial as I am, I shouldn't say that it is already better than the competitors. (Your own kids are always better than the other kids...)

...but I am very confident. And so are the other testers.

Hmmm.... Now you got me interested

Any "hidden" audio previews for us?

Guitarists wanted! ReValver Mk II VST/AU/DirectX
