Peavey Decade Too - Guitar Amplifier Inspired by Josh Homme The Peavey Decade Too is a reissue of the legendary amplifier that originally debuted in 1980 and is now inextricably linked to the unique tone of Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age. This combo unit was designed for guitarists seeking an authentic, harmonically rich sound that became the hallmark of the 1980s era. The Decade Too restores this sought-after, raw, and dynamic character, eliminating the need to hunt for expensive and rare vintage units on the secondary market. Thanks to precise sound engineering and modern solutions, this amplifier offers professional capabilities in a compact form. Product Features The amplifier combines nostalgic character with modern features, such as an XLR output for direct recording and live performances, and an effects loop with support for a remote footswitch. A key component is the dedicated 8-inch Celestion speaker, specifically voiced to replicate the lively, mid-frequency attack of the legendary Rola model from 1980-1983. The device is also equipped with a SATURATION™ switch that instantly changes the tonal character, adding harmonic richness and singing sustain. A precise three-band EQ along with additional BASS and TOP switches allows for microscopic control over tone. Professional Capabilities for Your Creativity The Decade Too is not just an instrument for practice, but a true studio and stage tool. Its 10W RMS power amplifier ensures a clean, dynamic response to playing, reacting to every touch of the strings. With advanced PRE GAIN and POST GAIN controls, the guitarist can precisely shape the boundary between clean tone and natural tube overdrive. The saturation switch opens the door to the heavy, rock sound characteristic of Queens of the Stone Age. The transformer-based XLR output (balanced) with GROUND LIFT functionality eliminates ground loop hum, which is crucial in modern PA systems and audio interfaces. This device is for musicians who value authenticity and want full control over their sound, from delicate arpeggios to massive riffs. Applications Home Practice: The compact 10W RMS power is ideal for practicing at low volumes without disturbing neighbors, while maintaining full dynamic range. Studio Recording: The XLR output and 1/4" TS line output allow direct connection to audio interfaces, providing a clean signal without the need for microphones. Live Performances: The rugged construction, effects loop, and ability to connect a remote footswitch make the Decade Too a reliable companion on stage. Creating QOTSA-style Tones: An ideal tool for experimenting with the distinctive mid-forward sound that defined the Queens of the Stone Age tone.
