The M-VAVE Tank G is a portable, multifunctional guitar effector: a digital unit that gathers a preamp, cab simulation, modulation, delay, reverb, noise gate and tuner into one small box. M-VAVE positions it as a grab-and-go rig, with a built-in rechargeable battery and an XLR balanced output so it can run straight into a mixer, interface or PA without an amp1.
What it does
The Tank G covers a full signal chain in one unit. M-VAVE equips it with a noise gate, 9 preamp selection slots, a 3-band EQ, 3 modulations, 3 delays, 3 reverbs, 8 IR CAB slots and a tuner1. In practice that means it can act as a preamp into an amp or, using the IR cab slots and the XLR output, as a direct rig into a PA or recording setup. The effect types it spans also touch on noise gate, equalization, delay, reverb, overdrive, distortion, modulation, tuner and speaker simulation territory1.
Beyond the effect blocks, RockBoard's PedalPedia lists support for mobile phone recording, wireless connection and earphone monitoring1, which fits the unit's portable, practice-and-record role.
Presets and editing
The Tank G holds 36 editable presets. RockBoard's PedalPedia says the user can customize the effects chain and then save it, so each preset slot can carry its own arrangement of the preamp, EQ, modulation, delay, reverb and cab blocks1.
Power
The Tank G runs on 5V DC, center negative, and draws 300mA1. It also carries a built-in rechargeable battery1.
The Tank G runs on its built-in rechargeable battery rather than a conventional external power supply, so it does not slot into a standard pedalboard power arrangement the way a typical pedal does. Plan for charging as part of your setup.

Questions
Does the M-VAVE Tank G have a rechargeable battery?
Yes. M-VAVE lists a built-in rechargeable battery as a feature of the Tank G, which is part of what makes it a portable unit. It is powered over 5V DC, center negative, and draws 300mA, so a standard 9V pedalboard supply output is not suitable on its own.
How many presets does the M-VAVE Tank G hold?
The Tank G holds 36 editable presets. M-VAVE says the user can customize the effects chain within a preset and then save it, so each of the 36 slots can hold its own arrangement of the unit's preamp, EQ, modulation, delay, reverb and cab blocks.
Does the M-VAVE Tank G have an XLR output?
Yes. The Tank G has an XLR balanced output, which lets it feed a mixing desk or PA directly. M-VAVE also lists mobile phone recording, wireless connection and earphone monitoring among its connectivity features.
Does the M-VAVE Tank G include cab simulation?
Yes. The Tank G includes 8 IR CAB slots, meaning it can load impulse response based speaker simulation. Combined with its 9 preamp selection slots, that lets it work as a direct-recording preamp into an interface or PA.
Is the M-VAVE Tank G analog or digital?
The M-VAVE Tank G is a digital unit. Its circuit type is listed as digital, and its feature set, including IR-based cab simulation, editable presets and multiple effect types in one box, reflects that digital design.
