Peavey Joshua Homme Decade Preamp

Peavey · pedal

The Peavey Decade Preamp Pedal recreates the sought-after tones of the original 1980 Peavey Decade practice amp, a solid-state circuit made famous by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. It delivers rich saturation, punchy EQ, and classic solid-state grit in pedal form, with a three-band EQ, a switchable Saturation mode, and both Pre and Post Gain controls for shaping the drive and output. It can be used to add fuzzy, gritty solid-state character to a clean amp, push the front end of an amplifier, or run into a power amp or speaker emulator. It suits players chasing the distinctive lo-fi, buzzy desert-rock and stoner-rock tones associated with Homme, offering a focused, characterful overdrive and preamp voice rather than a transparent or pristine boost.
