Now, as Peavey brings the legendary amp back to life, its unmistakable voice also returns in compact pedal form with the Decade™ Preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA faithful recreation of the original 1980 circuit, the Decade Preamp Pedal captures the full character of the amp that started it all. Its switchable Saturation mode acts like a second channel, delivering rich harmonic overdrive at the flip of a switch. Pre and Post Gain controls, a responsive three-band EQ, and a hard bypass switch with anti-click circuitry ensure clean integration into any signal chain. Powered by a standard 9V supply, the pedal internally boosts to 24V, delivering the headroom and dynamic range that defined the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Decade Preamp belongs to the Peavey Legacy Preamp Series, which features miniaturizations of iconic Peavey amplifiers that have become highly sought after in recent years. While others have tried to capture these tones, only Peavey can deliver the genuine article. Each pedal is built with premium components inside a rugged die-cast enclosure, from the high-quality pots and switches to the fiberglass PCBs with 2-ounce copper and plated-through holes. Every control and cosmetic detail reflects the original amps, while the sounds stay true to their legendary tone... without the weight. With output levels adjustable for both instrument and line-level applications, the Decade Preamp is as flexible as it is faithful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in history, built for now, the Decade Preamp carries the same spirit of innovation that defined the original, reborn for a new generation of players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFaithful recreation of the original Peavey Decade™ circuit (circa 1980) in a pedal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitchable Saturation “channel” function\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternal 24V supply from standard 9V supply\/battery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHard Bypass switch with anti-click circuit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePre and Post Gain controls\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree-band EQ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTested and formally approved for worldwide EMC and FCC compliance by an independent laboratory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Secret is Out\u003cbr\u003eBased on the original circuit found in the Peavey Decade™ amplifier (circa 1980), the secret weapon behind countless recordings and revered tones\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2-Channel Operation\u003cbr\u003eEngage the Saturation switch for added gain and fuzz-like distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlexible Gain Staging\u003cbr\u003ePre and Post Gain controls give you a huge tonal rage to explore, from mild crunch to extreme harmonic havoc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-Band EQ\u003cbr\u003eTighten up your low end, push your mids until they grind, and dial in just the right amount of bite and sizzle with Low, Mid, and High EQ controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaturation On Demand\u003cbr\u003eFlip the switch to engage the Decade’s Saturation \"channel\" function, cranking up the grit and edge when you want that extra punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e24 Volts of Vintage Tone\u003cbr\u003ePowered by a standard 9V supply, the Decade internally boosts to 24V for authentic amp-like headroom and dynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilent Switching\u003cbr\u003eEquipped with a hard bypass switch and anti-click circuit to eliminate noise when switching for pure signal with zero distractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003cbr\u003eWhat kind of tone does the Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal deliver?\u003cbr\u003eThe Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal is a re-creation of the Decade amplifier's preamp section, delivering the same sonic character as the amp. Players describe the sound as \"wiry\" and \"crunchy\" with notable midrange emphasis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much gain\/saturation does the Decade Preamp provide?\u003cbr\u003eA lot: the Decade Preamp pedal features the same switchable Saturation circuit as the combo amp version. At maximum Saturation, the Decade Preamp pedal reaches fuzz-like levels of gain and harmonics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does a preamp pedal like the Decade Preamp actually do?\u003cbr\u003ePreamp pedals like the Decade Preamp give you the same tone shaping and gain staging functionality you would have with an amplifier's preamp section. Along with tone shaping, a preamp pedal boosts your guitar's signal to an appropriate level to send to a power amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I run the Decade Preamp pedal straight into an amp's input?\u003cbr\u003eYes you can plug the Decade Preamp pedal directly to an amp's input to use it as a powerful drive pedal with versatile EQ. For the complete \"amp in a box\" experience, plug it into an amp's FX loop return so you can bypass the amp's preamp completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan I go direct with the Decade Preamp pedal into an audio interface or PA system?\u003cbr\u003eTechnically yes, but the Peavey Decade Preamp pedal does not have any onboard cabinet or speaker emulation. You will want to use a cab sim pedal or plug-in to complete your tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it sound like Josh Homme's original Peavey Decade amp?\u003cbr\u003eYes: the Decade Preamp pedal is essentially the authentic preamp section from the Decade Too amp popularized by Homme's tone with Queens of the Stone Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat kind of power does the Peavey Decade Preamp pedal need?\u003cbr\u003eStandard 9V battery or pedalboard power supply. The Decade Preamp pedal internally increases the voltage to 24V for higher headroom and greater dynamics, but it does not require a special higher-voltage power supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peavey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45547510333616,"sku":"0014367676518","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0502\/2567\/6464\/files\/KJC_7483_rv2.jpg?v=1788211868","url":"https:\/\/wcmusicstore.com\/products\/peavey-decade-preamp-effects-pedal-new","provider":"Al Bien's West Chester Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
