Peavey Expands Legacy Series with New VTM Preamp Pedal

Peavey Electronics adds the new VTM™ Preamp Pedal to its new Legacy Series. As part of its 60th Anniversary celebration, Peavey is releasing a run of preamp pedals based on the company’s most iconic amplifiers giving players the opportunity to explore vintage tones with easy to use and affordable pedals. The VTM pedal is now available worldwide through online and local retailers.In the 1980’s, amp modifications became the norm. The off-the-shelf amplifiers were just not cutting it anymore. In typical Hartley Peavey fashion, Peavey set out to provide players with what they really wanted without all the hassle and expense of aftermarket upgrades. By the middle of the decade Peavey debuted the VTM 60 and VTM 120 guitar amplifiers. While the 6L6GC power tubes were a factor in how the amp performed, what really set this amp above all the rest was a bank of 8 DIP switches on the front panel that allowed the guitarist to customize the amplifier to replicate any number of aftermarket modifications. This was groundbreaking.The Peavey VTM Preamp pedal features TransTube® technology to recreate the legendary 1987 preamp circuit. Pre and Post Gain controls help dial in the details of those famous 8 DIP switches with a passive three band EQ with separate LOW, MID, and HIGH pots. A Hard Bypass, anti-click switch triggers the on/off with an internal HV TransTube supply from a standard 9V supply/battery.As for the 8 DIP switches, all switches in the off position deliver a vintage British-style tone. Gain #1 adds an added gain stage. Gain #2 maximizes that added gain stage. Switch #3 is the COMP adding diode compression for smoothness and sustain. The remaining five switches provide fine-tuned mods for enhanced LOWS, MIDS, and HIGHS.Each pedal in the Peavey Legacy Series is housed in a durable die-cast metal enclosure with top shelf pots, switches, and jacks. The PCBs are fiberglass with 2-ounce copper and plate-through holes on all components. Output levels are adjustable, and all pedals require less than 100mA from a standard 9VDC power supply. Battery power is also an option.To learn more, please visit www.Peavey.comRetail $199.99 USD
