The Peavey Decade Preamp pedal revives the iconic tone of the original 1980s Peavey Decade amplifier, known for its gritty, raw sound that gained a cult following among players seeking unique saturation and edge.
This stompbox is a precise recreation of the original circuit, delivering the same character in a compact format. It features a switchable Saturation mode that acts like a second channel, offering rich harmonic overdrive. With Pre and Post Gain controls, a responsive three-band EQ, and a hard bypass switch equipped with anti-click circuitry, it integrates cleanly into any setup.
Though powered by a standard 9V supply, it internally boosts to 24V, providing the dynamic range and headroom of the original amp.
Part of Peavey’s Legacy Preamp Series, the Decade uses premium components, including high-quality pots, switches, and fiberglass PCBs with plated-through holes, all housed in a rugged die-cast enclosure.
Every detail—from control layout to cosmetic design—mirrors the original amp, while output levels can be adjusted for both instrument and line-level use.
