Ahh...Yes...Well...
I have the Mk III version and I found it to be awful in comparison to Guitar Rig 5, TH2 or Amplitube 3 (and that was disappointing too).
Just dull, raspy and lifeless. Nothing sounded inspiring.
No sparkle could be dialled in, and no convincing hi gain tones that sounded anything like my own real-world amps.
It certainly didn't sound like that promo video.
It may be that they are faithful representations of the amps and effects it simulated (I have never personally owned them).
But if so, I wouldn't buy any amp or module based on the ReValver Mk III sim.
Changing valves in the "Unique Selling Point" section of ReValver Mk III just made awful sims sound a slightly different shade of awful.
Admittedly, I didn't really put the work in (it's just that bad) and left it gathering digital dust relatively quickly.
I've stuck with Guitar Rig 5 (my personal winner).
To compete against the competition now, ReValver Mk IV will have to have improved massively.
Please tell me this is so!

I got some really old one with the Peavey Xport but it was so old that it wouldn't run on my computer

I think this tech is five or six years out of date now. Much better stuff on the market as far as I can tell.
I think the Xport came with version II or III.

I got Mk III in about 2013.
Mk IV came out in 2014.
Nothing has been released since.
Also, it looks like Peavey are not associated with RaValver anymore.
You cannot buy it from any of their sites as far as I can see, only from Audio Media Research (AMR): ReValver Bundles

That was my understanding as well. I think version IV was already old when I bought the Xport in 2016, which only came with III and had been sitting in warehouses here for years and was half-price when I bought it. Pretty basic interface but I only paid $65 for it.
