Peavey BackStage Guitar Amps

The Backstage 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, a
Aux input for jamming along to your favorite songs and a headphone input for doing so quietly. Guitar Player
reviewer Barry Cleveland raves about the tone and value of the Backstage in his March 2004 hands-on product
review. "This is easily one of the best-sounding mini amps I've ever heard," he writes. "It delivers a great
assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic response, all in a pint-sized package and for a very
modest price."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.
