Peavey Josh Homme Decade Too 10-watt 1×8″ Combo Amplifier New | In Stock

The new Joshua Homme Decade Too™ is the deafest Peavey amp presently available and offers performance and features that utilize the latest in technology and electronic components. Renowned Peavey scholar, the Honorable Doctor Joshua Homme wanted to include a full compliment of operating controls to enable this new practice amp to create widely variable harmonic textures as well as a variety of equalization found in much larger and more powerful units. The Joshua Homme Decade Too™ presents total flexibility at the price level of most manufacturer’s “toy amps”. The original “Decade” Amp has been a staple in Dr. Joshua’s amp arsenal for years and has been used to track every instrument imaginable, from guitar to kick drum, and everything in between.

Our special input preamp utilizes new and unique circuitry to yield tremendous gain, dynamic range and functional versatility. The new SATURATION™ circuit enables tube-like sustain and overload characteristics to be obtained at relatively low levels as often required by motel/hotel room and home practice situations. The Joshua Homme Decade Too™ features a switch to provide either the standard clean tone, or the SATURATION™ setting may be used, which automatically switches in super high gain and harmonically rich input circuitry yielding the mellow overload and sustaining characteristics often found when operating tube-type amps at maximum gain. A post gain (master volume) control has been provided to allow total control over the dynamics and overall level of the Joshua Homme Decade Too™.

In order for a practice amp to be worthy of the name, it must be able to reproduce the tonality and harmonic content of larger stage equipment, but at a reduced and controllable level. The Joshua Homme Decade Too™ has a full brace of equalization controls including the vital middle control so necessary for achieving the rich, full sustain so often required in contemporary music. In addition to this EQ, Doctor Joshua Homme has added all new BASS and TOP enhancement switches for further sonic embellishments.

Rugged ¾” materials are used in the cabinetry, while the electronics are powered by a high efficiency regulated universal power supply that can be used on any AC line in the world to allow maximum performance from the Decade Too™ rugged 10 watt power amplifier. This new power amp is protected from transients as well as short circuits and is capable of significantly more acoustic output than normal 10 watt amps because of the unique and exclusive design of the power supply and output stage. A specially designed 8” speaker has been fitted to project the carefully contoured frequency response and tremendous dynamic range of this powerful little amp.

To make the Decade Too™ even more versatile, a preamp out jack has been included on the rear panel to allow driving external power amps, tape decks, etc.. Doctor Joshua also chose to add a buffered effects loop, transformer balanced XLR direct interface, external speaker jacks, and an all new speaker phase switch to take this little guy to the next level.

The performance, features and overall construction of the Decade Too™ make it unique in its power category. As with almost any reasonably complex system, experimentation, understanding, and a few hours use are the keys to achieving full utilization of this unit’s impressive capabilities.
