Peaveyinvective.120 120W Tube Guitar Amp Head
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Peavey invective.120 is a 120W tube guitar amp head developed with input from Periphery’s Misha Mansoor. Its Clean, Crunch, and Lead channels are remotely switchable; the clean voicing is described as especially suited to closed-back cabinets, while Crunch and Lead provide independent Pre and Post Gain controls with shared three-band EQ. Four matched JJ6L6GC output tubes, a switchable boost, and a fast-attack noise gate give the head extensive control across clean through high-gain sounds.
Strong match
Who this is for
- High-gain guitar work requiring remotely selectable Clean, Crunch, and Lead channels during a performance.
- Guitar rigs with closed-back cabinets using the amplifier’s clean channel voiced specifically for that format.
- Recording setups using the rear MSDI-XLR direct output with level, tone, and ground-lift controls.
