Peavey Pedals

[Joben Magooch]

Right on the tail of the new Marshall pedals, Peavey is getting in on the game too...

Bandit
Decade
Rock Master
Session 400
VTM Preamp

I don't have any particular affinity for most Peavey "sounds" (at least not as I remember them in my head), but aesthetically I think these are killer.

I'll be ripping these graphics off for my UV prints.

It’s NAMM time, we will be seeing a bit launched this year I think.

I'm such a sucker for outward mounted DIP switches. Good on them too for finally realizing they could be the ones selling decade pedals, only took them half a decade lol.

No Peavey Classic though?

These look fantastic.

If I'm not mistaken, the VTM and the Rock Master are tube based.
I see the transtube logo and I'm wondering about the implementation in those 2.

They do look amazing

I was thinking that myself but wasn’t certain. Would be very cool to see how accurate they are and how they’re achieved, I would be VERY interested in applications for other Amp In A Box pedals in a way other than JFET adaptations.

I didn't know Peavey were still operating!

I may be wrong, but I believe this is the "TransTube" topology.

ooo thanks for sharing. Just pulled up a peavey bandit schematic (https://groupdiy.com/threads/schematic-for-peavey-bandit-112.66783/) and sure enough the middle of the page is just a string of these cascaded. Makes me even more interested in this series and comparing the original tube schems of the vtm and rock master to the pedal implementations.

I would love to find an original bandit.

choosing to sound like a pawn shop practice amp is a very specific nostalgia trip to take

Gorilla is probably out there right now seeking distribution for their tc-35 in a box

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Man, I do kind of want to do the bandit. We had one in the office at my old woodshop. It sounded awful. When are we gonna get the same treatment for Crate amps? Blue voodoo stomper? Perhaps a lil BX-15 in a box? I took one of these KX-80's with me to college

Wow, the Decade and maybe the Bandit make sense and it’s a good opportunity for Peavey to make official pedals since other brands have had success emulating their sound. I was not expecting the VTM pedal.

I gotta say the VTM-120 is one of my favorite amps ever. Slightly tangential but last year my buddy got a sweet deal on, let’s say, several Peavey VTM and Butcher heads:


Most of them were in mint condition, all collected by one guy. I repaired 2 of em and my friend very generously gave me the most busted one (top of the stack) to restore for myself.

Long story short I don’t normally do preamp pedals, but I feel my friend and I have to get our hands on one of these to put against the real deal…

Pretty damn sure these blow away Marshall's lineup.

 

[lowpitch]

Definitely more interesting to me than the new Marshall pedals. I'm a sucker for true preamp pedals.

Just looking at them reminds me of visiting pawn shops in the 90's.

I'm on the wait list.

Peavey, WTH — Where's the BASS pedals?

The puny 400?






Well I'm going to make my own Peavey-pedal! WITH BLACKJACK and HOOKERS!


Ahhh ... Screw the Blackjack, and the hookers ...

... WITH F800B and HOTFOOT !





I HAVE a Big Game CVLT F800B-pre PCB I'll pair with a clone of the Peavey HOT FOOT (built on a Rat-clone PCB).
