Peavey Backstage II 10-watt Combo Amp

The Peavey Backstage® II guitar amp emulates the sound, high output, warmth and “push back” of tube amplifiers and includes features such as high and low EQ controls, a 6 inch heavy-duty speaker, switchable TransTube® overdrive, an AUX input for jamming along to your favorite songs, and a headphone input for doing so quietly. Renowned as one of the best-sounding mini amps available, the Backstage II offers a wide range of tube-like tones and features exceptional dynamic response, all in a conveniently compact package that provides outstanding value.

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 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.
