Penta
Tube Amplifier
The new all-analog Peavey Penta is a straight-forward, all-tube 140 watt guitar amplifier that captures the sound and feel of
five distinctly different amplifiers that rival the world’s most expensive “boutique” amplifiers. The combination of modern,
high-reliability design techniques paired with its wide range of available tones and switching capabilities puts the Penta in
a class all its own—multi-channel versatility in a bulletproof package for the tube purist! There are two Pentatone™ rotary
switches (one on front, one on the rear), both with the same five gain/voicing settings, ranging from sparkly clean sounds to,
indisputably, the most dangerous of all distortion tones available. The position of the second, rear-mounted Pentatone switch
determines which of the five voicings is used as the footswitchable second channel.
The Penta is Peavey’s first true departure from the feature-laden tube machines, which we are best known for, in nearly 20
years. All of our past guitar tube amplifier research and design efforts have been implemented and refined with tremendous
emphasis on quality. The result is a no-frills, easy-to-use, super-reliable all-out tube guitar amplifier that will leave you begging
for more…huge power, pure tone…enough said.
