A Preamp Pedal for Raucous Riffs and Elevated Leads
From the western twang of the pedal steel to the ominous depths of death metal, Peavey has had a hand in shaping the sound of guitar-driven music for well over a half-century. Now, in a series of compact pedals, Peavey gifts players with one-to-one re-creations of the famed preamp sections of classic Peavey amps. The Peavey Rock Master preamp pedal pays homage to the famed Peavey Rock Master Ultra, an amp popularized by metal players in the ’90s. This pedal features a TransTube re-creation of the Ultra’s channel circuit, a 3-band EQ comprised of Bottom, Body, and Edge frequency knobs, and a combination of Pre- and Post-gain knobs — a pairing that guitarists at Sweetwater find provide them with a surgical level of tonal precision. In addition, Peavey outfitted the reimagined Bandit Supreme with a mid-shift switch, a feature that boosts mids for a more full-bodied tone or scoops them for patented ’80s thrash sound, and a Gain boost switch for adding that extra lift to your leads. With the entirety of its preamp pedal line, Peavey has opened the door for guitarists to explore the sounds that helped define notable eras of rock, metal, country, blues, and beyond. Whether you rock an expansive rig or opt for a more modest approach, the Peavey Bandit Supreme preamp pedal adds equal doses of grit, depth, and control.
