I'm not sure I would call the Revival drive an "amp in a box." It has to be set to work with the amp you have, and then it overdrives it to the level you want. and how you want. It adds things to your amp's sound that a nearly dimed high powered amp does. I've not tried it straight into a board, but that might work well too, but I don't think that is its best use.

Correct.

I have Carvin's X1 preamp on the way, which while advertised as a preamp can be used with it's built in cab emulation direct, through headphones, into the front end of an amp, or as a stand alone 1 watt guitar amp into a cab.

I am pretty stoked about both it's possibilities for practical usage, and from the clips the tones are pretty damn good too.

I barely understand how the bugger works, my descriptor inevitably follows the same incompetence.

At the very least I'm consistent.

You are not alone in not understanding what appears to be a complicated box

It is definitely an 'amp in a box', just a different definition of what they are using here.

I'd refer to it as 'cobbed Marshall stack in a stadium coming out in a "Alien vs. Ripley" sorta way outta any amp you can actually afford' kinda box.
