Peavey Backstage II

Miniature 10W combo amplifier for electric guitar from Backstage series that emulates the sound, high output, warmth and ''push back'' of tube amplifiers. The key is Peavey's exclusive TransTube technology, which emulates the sound of tube amplifiers without the hassle or cost of dealing with unpredictable tubes. The TransTube preamp with two switchable channels tailors the gain level for any amount of drive, from clean to crunch to scream, using a patented approach to emulating 12AX7 tubes and their ability to create even, harmonic distortion. It also mimics the ''push back'' response of real tube circuitry, which is essential to emulating tube dynamics, distortion and chime. Other features include high and low EQ controls, Volume and Overdrive controls, a 6” heavy-duty custom-designed speaker, an Aux input for jamming along to the songs and a headphone input for doing so quietly. Dimensions: 232 x 359 x 356 mm. Weight: 4.4 kg.
