Dial the Peavey Deuce sound in on your own rig
Mid-'70s 120W hybrid 2x12 combo - solid-state preamp into four 6L6GC power tubes, the same recipe as the bigger Mace. Two channels (Normal and Effects) with an Automix button to combine them for a volume lift, plus spring reverb and tremolo. Enormous clean headroom that stays clean far past sensible stage volume, with a hard, brash upper midrange and a stiff, fast attack rather than Fender bloom; overdrive comes from the preamp and is grainy and cutting. Prized now mainly as a very loud, very reliable pedal platform.
