Hi guys! Here's my demo of the Red Seven Leviathan :rock:
Having played through every amp in their lineup I gotta say this is by far my favorite. Even though it shares some similarities with the Hybrid 100, the Leviathan has got something "extra" about it, hard to put my finger on it. It's got the perfect balance of chewyness under the fingers and precise attack, tons of gain on tap but never at the expense of note definition. The blue channel, although definitely high-gain, can clean up really well if you turn down the gain and turn up the channel volume. Does it get as clean and sparkly as the Hybrid 100 clean channel? No, but if you like a touch of grit in your cleans then this channel does the trick. When you engage the Hot mode you're in modded Marshall land right away. The red channel is super saturated but still punchy and defined, it has the ability to do insane high-gain but no matter how you set it, it's always usable. I've read someone online describing the Leviathan as a stiff amp to play, but that has not been my experience with it at all. In fact, my favorite thing about it is the feel under the fingers , just the right amount of give, super fun to play, but still immediate for tight rhythms. Hope you enjoy the video!

 
Cool!! Best demo of this amp I've ever heard/seen. I hear some Uber-ish tone. How do you feel??
 
I think this demo made the thing really shine. It comes across very articulate & full, not sterile.

Thanks dude! I do hear a mix of Marshall and Bogner, especially in the mids. It's got the teeth of a Marshall in the upper mids and the fullness of the Bogners in the lower mids. I've found the mid knob to be the most powerful control on all the Red Seven amps. It kinda reaches higher than other amps I've tried, you can adjust a lot of the upper frequencies with it!

Thank you! The mids on this amp are amazing, I think that's what really defines its character. Super rich and musical!
 
That was a sick demo. One of the best. Thanks for sharing. I particularly like Monkey Business and God's of War. Did you have someone mess with settings or did you reamp?


Loved the demo! I don’t know man, you could make a katana sound great!

No shit right. More like he could make a canoftuna sound great.
 
Not the demo it needed, I mean no heavy riffs? The amp was made for heavy. I sorry but this amp is another animal than the Hybrid. I know you agree. Otherwise great job and it is appreciated even if I had to be honest.

I was kind of waiting for some drop chuggy stuff as well but it certainly nails those 80's tones. If it can get brutal too then that is one versatile amp.
 
I actually didn’t care for the mid character in the amp. I found it kind of brittle and peaky, even in the lower gain settings. It reminded me of things I don’t like about the 5150II. It just has no richness to the tone, for my ears anyway.
Also it seems I rarely like most demos where IR’s are used. Even when I didn’t know and only find out later.

Yeah, not a bad demo for those kinds of tones. But some heavier, modern riffs would be nice. This amp doesn't seem like it's intended to be a modded Marshall. It doesn't want eyeshadow and tight Lycra. It wants a boost and drop tuning.

Thanks man, yes I'm reamping using the Little Labs Redeye 3D Phantom

I appreciate you checking out the video, we all hear things differently!

I get your guys point, but that's exactly why I wanted to go in another direction, pretty much all the other videos of this amp on YouTube focus on more modern/chuggy/djenty stuff. But it can do much more than that! I did include a couple of heavy riffs like Judas Priest and Deftones but everyone's opinion of heavy is different I guess 😂 I'm also not into death metal and super brutal stuff, I wouldn't even know how to play things like that haha
 
The brutal stuff was what I was hoping to hear that amp do but appreciate you and thank you for posting here brother. Excellent job.
 
This amp is definitely Marshall/modded Marshall on channel 1. That channel alone could be an entire amp
