Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal

Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal

Peavey Decade is a preamp pedal recreating the circuit of the original 1980 Decade guitar amplifier. It brings the small amplifier’s tone controls into a pedal signal chain.

The Saturation switch selects additional gain and harmonic overdrive. Pre Gain sets the drive before tone shaping, while Post Gain adjusts output level, allowing drive and volume to be set separately.

A three-band EQ adjusts bass, midrange and treble. The controls sit on the pedal top, with foot-operated engagement.

The output can feed a guitar amplifier input or its effects-loop return. The pedal has no speaker cabinet simulation; direct recording or PA use requires that processing separately.

Main Features

• The original Decade preamp circuit provides the model’s characteristic tone shaping.
• A Saturation switch selects additional overdrive.
• Pre Gain adjusts drive and distortion intensity.
• Post Gain matches the output level to other devices in the chain.
• Low, Mid and High controls shape three frequency ranges separately.
• It can be used before an amplifier input or in its effects-loop return.
• A hard bypass footswitch with anti-click circuitry disengages the pedal processing.
• The pedal operates from a 9 V battery or a compatible 9 V DC adapter.
