Peavey Decade Too

Peavey Decade Too - New edition of the cult combo with Josh Homme signature sound

Introduction

The Peavey Decade Too is the modern rebirth of a legendary amplifier that gained worldwide cult status through an iconic YouTube interview with Josh Homme - frontman of Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal. The original Peavey Decade from the early 1980s was Homme's "secret sound tool" and was used by him for his unmistakable guitar and bass sound. With the new edition, Peavey brings back this special character - including modern features and extended sound options.

The Decade Too delivers the characteristic Queens of the Stone Age sound, but offers even more sonic flexibility thanks to its extended range of functions. Whether at home, in the studio or in the rehearsal room - this compact combo, weighing just 5 kg, is a creative powerhouse for guitarists who want to develop their own signature sound.

Manufacturer

Peavey Electronics has been an integral part of the international music scene for decades. The US company is known for durable, innovative and powerful-sounding amplifier solutions. With the Decade Too, Peavey once again demonstrates its ability to combine historical classics with contemporary technology without losing their original character.

Technical details

The Decade Too is based on the original 1980s Decade amp, but features modern improvements. An 8" Celestion speaker, tuned to the sound of the original "Rola" speakers (1980-1983), ensures an authentic sound. With its 10 watts of solid-state power, the amplifier offers a surprising amount of volume and dynamics.

• Gain section: Pre-gain and post-gain controls for flexible distortion levels
• Saturation switch: Creates tube-like sustain and rich, harmonically rich overdrives
• 3-band EQ: With additional bass enhancement (boosts low bass, shifts mid frequency) and top enhancement (changes treble character similar to an old AM radio)
• Effects loop: Buffered FX loop, saturation and FX send/return can be activated via footswitch
• Connections: 6.3 mm outputs for internal speakers and optional expansion cabinets, preamp output for external power amplifier
• Direct output: Transformer-balanced XLR out with speaker simulation, "DI level" control and ground lift
• Phase switch: For speaker phase inversion and special feedback effects

The amplifier is equipped with a universal power connection for worldwide use. A matching Decade Too Extension Cabinet with chrome-plated stand is available as an option.
