Dial the Peavey Mace VT sound in on your own rig
160-watt hybrid workhorse - a solid-state preamp feeding six 6L6GC power tubes, with a built-in phase shifter (speed and intensity) and spring reverb, which was unheard of on an amp in the mid-70s. Enormous clean headroom and a hard, grainy preamp saturation that stays tight and cutting instead of blooming; brash upper mids and a fast, stiff attack rather than Fender warmth or Marshall bark. Loud enough to be genuinely difficult to use at anything less than stage volume.
