Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal - Faithful Tone of the Iconic Amplifier in Stompbox Format The Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal is a compact preamp effects pedal that brings the unique character of the legendary Peavey Decade amplifier from the early 1980s to your pedalboard. As part of the Peavey Legacy Preamp Series, this pedal delivers authentic, raw, and biting tone in a durable, miniature enclosure. Product Features Among the key advantages are: faithful recreation of the original Peavey Decade circuit from circa 1980, switchable Saturation mode acting as a second channel, and internal 24V power derived from a standard power supply or 9V battery. Users also receive hard bypass with a clickless circuit, independent Pre Gain and Post Gain controls, and a three-band EQ (Low, Mid, High). Professional Capabilities for Your Creativity The Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal is an excellent tool for guitarists seeking distinctive grit and harmonically rich overdriven tones. The original Decade amplifier earned iconic status due to its raw, aggressive tone, and its conversion into a pedalboard format allows you to draw from this heritage without the burden of carrying heavy equipment. The Saturation circuit functions like an additional channel, switchable with a single footswitch, delivering rich, harmonic overdrive ranging from light crunch to dense, fuzz-like distortion. Pre and Post Gain adjustments allow for flexible shaping of the gain, while the responsive three-band EQ enables precise control over the frequency response. Thanks to the internal voltage boost to 24V when powered by 9V, the pedal retains the headroom and dynamics that define the original. Hard bypass with a clickless circuit ensures clean integration into the signal chain without noise when disengaged. Output levels can be adjusted for both instrument-level and line-level applications, making it a versatile partner in the studio and on stage. Applications Integration into a pedalboard as a preamp or tone effect Instrument-level output to an amplifier input Line-level output to an effects loop (FX loop return) Direct connection to an audio interface or PA system with an external cabinet simulator Detailed Technical Specifications Circuit Type: Recreation of the Peavey Decade circuit from the 1980s (circa 1980) Power: 9V battery or pedal power supply (internally boosted to 24V) Bypass: Hard bypass switch with clickless circuit Controls: Pre Gain, Post Gain, Low EQ, Mid EQ, High EQ, Saturation switch Tone Character: Crunchy and wiry, with emphasized midrange and harmonic richness Enclosure: Durable die-cast metal enclosure PCB: Fiberglass PCBs with 2-ounce copper and plated-through holes Compliance: Tested and approved for EMC and FCC on global markets Materials and Construction The pedal is built using premium components inside a rugged die-cast metal enclosure.
