Peavey Josh Homme Signature Decade Too Amp! | Peavy NAMM 2025

[@_uncredited]

I don't need an amp like this. Can't wait to buy one.

[@Gigi-zy1kx]

I don't need it but I want it.

[@iamfilter]

Absolutely pointless. Want one so bad.

[@angelorasmijn7306]

I want one and don’t even play guitar. 😅

[@garethc3448]

just get a peavey bandit

[@iamfilter]

@@garethc3448 different beast entirely, but love the bandit.. also had a renown 2x12 and an envoy, all from 80s, all glorious.

[@Plumcraziness]

Peavey needs to go back to its roots with their aesthetics and amp designs. They made some of the best solid state amps in the business with an iconic aesthetic, and they need to get back to doing that. They also need to go back to Meridian, Mississippi, too. The guitar industry needs a Peavey resurgence.

[@ZachShannon1]

Ironically, they've just reissued the old Super Festival bass head. It's literally to the right of them as they're shooting this.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Can't imagine any reason why they would reopen the facilities in Meridian, honestly. Nobody is gonna sit around and make Peavey amps for $9-$14 an hour on a temp service in the USA

[@christophernaples1315]

@Plumcraziness Love my EFX 212 ! And my T60 guitar !

[@papa_pt]

Also some awesome tube amps like my Classic 30 came out of Meridian 👍

[@TheShaggyD.A.]

It’s not for everyone. A lot of players won’t go for an amp with even a 10” speaker. But this would make an awesome bedroom amp. Similar to my Orange Crush 12.

[@Swervy9]

I literally have an OG of one of these. It was my first amp that I got used in probably 1987 when I got my 1986 Squire Bullet when I was 14. I bussed tables and washed dishes because my parents refused to buy me electric guitar stuff. All of my friends had bad ass instruments and Marshall amps. I hated my decade and thought it made me look poor. Fast forward as an adult, I am a huge Kyuss, Queens, Homme fan and I saw the video of him on youtube about his "secret weapon" and he pulls out a Decade. I about fell out of my f*cking chair... brought tears! Ha! I might have to buy another one!!!

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

😂

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

i still got mine asweel !!!

[@johnsheehan9318]

That was my first rig too!

Great story bro! Thanks for sharing!!!

I NEED to hear OZ play through this!

[@danwhitehurst6293]

It must be doom tested

[@therewasascene]

At least heavy riffs not classic rock

[@OzPwl]

Oh I can't wait to get my hands on it

[@timoconnell]

I was originally surprised to see the Decade going for $299. But the new features are pretty incredible. I mean, for the cost of a Strymon pedal, you can have a new and very reliable Decade!

[@NamelessSmile]

'For the cost of a strymon pedal' is a bizarre metric given for most people they will be the most expensive pedal on the board!

[@DogSlobberGardens-i7f]

...or you could buy a Katana and have something that sounds almost like a real amp.

[@timoconnell]

@@DogSlobberGardens-i7f I don’t think the intention is for this amp to be your sole amp. This is positioned for someone looking for a specific solid state sound; with easier recording capabilities given its popularity in the studio.

[@timoconnell]

@@NamelessSmile Not really considering artists will often acquire a single pedal to add a flavor of tone or effect for a track. The Decade is an extremely popular amp in the studio. The amp gives you a very popular solid state sound, with better recording capabilities when you’re in the studio.

[@NamelessSmile]

@timoconnell are you a LLM?

[@TractorMonkeywithJL]

That honestly sounds better than the Dumble in the other video.

[@obsidiancrow450]

its because dumble was a an amp that had more gain than everything else at the time. i dont even think it has more gain than most distortion pedals now

[@endezeichengrimm]

@@obsidiancrow450 None of that is true.

[@mrfacephone]

@@endezeichengrimm Nobody with that flag as a pfp is to be taken seriously so I'll take Obsidiancrows word for it.

It's way past overdue for Anderson's to make a new episode on a guitar player becoming Josh Homme

[@stopkafirophobia]

What’s Anderson’s?

[@Route32rg]

Loved my Peavey Audition 20 wayyy back!!

[@misterknightowlandco]

I’ll be buying one with the extra cab as soon as it’s available as well as all the new pedals. Been waiting decades (pardon the pun) for peavey to just reissue all the old shyt of theirs we all love. Bring back the old school bandits, auditions, backstages, renowns and all that stuff. Bring back the 80’s look too.

[@PhilipMonsos]

He's fully embracing the meme with this one!

[@louissanderson719]

Meme?

[@Mikishots]

You still have most of your voice! Well done - it's a battle that not many realize when you go to shows like these.

[@thoughtsmovereality]

Omgoodness this sounds and looks so sick! Peavey rides again! I’m gonna get the full setup-I just have to have one! Rock!!!!! So excited! Thank you gentlemen-thank you Peavey and thank you, Josh Homne. I opened up for QOTSA when I was 17-18 yrs. old @ the HOB in Myrtle Beach, SC about 15 yrs ago. Changed my life. I love you all. Home to Valhalla!!! Let’s rock-let’s Ride!!!

[@gaetanpiazza3841]

The Decade Peavey, my first little amp that I still have, it must date from the 80s! Glad to see it re-released in a recent version.

[@vyrnmn]

I have an old Peavey Backstage Plus which is pretty cool

[@PaulJonesy]

My first good amp back in the 80s, no idea what happened to it!

[@santiagomujica-vh3kx]

Hey Sir Captain, this is the Best interview from your site, Peavey are Best and yet the greatest and Best guitar amplifiers on earth, and the reissue ones. Very very Nice. Awesome. A lot decades waiting for this reissue models like Famous Backstage 20. Really cool.😃 Thanks.

[@MrShooter72]

The first amp I ever owned, the Peavey Audition 110, still sits in my music room almost 30 years later. I recently took a chance on a new Peavey Bandit and was not disappointed. I might have to look into this amp!

[@eyesintheskies]

In our student house we had this old peavey that for some unknown reason would only play the clean & dirty channels at the same time! Loved it

[@rodmorrison47]

I had a Decade back in the 80s. Best practise amp ever and it records so well. Really glad to see it back. And not a silly price either!

[@louissanderson719]

I’m anticipating LivingRoomDemos buying this… Need to drop that tuning down!

[@nagend1917]

@Eirik Stordrange a.k.a LivingRoomDemos - If you're reading this comment, please ~

[@spencerfreed6947]

Yesss!!! I was thinking the exact same thing! You know it's gotta be coming and I'm looking forward to the sounds he'll get out of it!

[@francislemon7]

I spent a lot of time in the southern U.S. playing through Peavy equipment, and with Peavy equipment in the early 80's. I'm happy they built bullet proof equipment I could afford and the stuff lasted well past my final payment to the local music store where I purchased it on credit. I do think I have permanent back issues from that T-60 bass that might have weighed more than the amp I played it through. The Josh Homme signature is probably not my thing but best of luck either way, seriously I'm glad the company is still around!

[@josephwalton487]

Peavey, you kick ass! As a bass player my favorite amp ever, my tone, is actually from my Dad's old Rage 108😂. I know it sounds weird, but the thing sings like butter.

[@JKM395]

I’ve always loved Peavey. They made my first electric guitar and my first tube amp. Love ‘em.

[@Crowbar11115]

Same! I started on a Peavey Predator and bought a 5150 II right when they were rolled out.

[@mrfacephone]

@@Crowbar11115 I traded a dude a qrtr bag of bud for a 94 predator he found cleaning out a house. It's in great shape and has even become one of my favorite guitars.

I still have my first amp. A Peavey Audition 30. Cool little amp for 40 years old. I also have a Peavey classic 50 that absolutely rocks

[@shauncarter924]

So glad Peavey is still around.

[@motorrebell]

Finally an New AFFORDABLE AWESOME SOUNDING - looking amp at namm ! THNX !

[@rocketpigrecords3719]

What's funny is, you can find a similar era Peavey amp with serious power and full sized speakers, footswitchable Saturation and reverb, for peanuts - because it's not the exact amp from the video they saw. Peavey SS stuff is like legos in this era - Greg Ginn ran a PA head because it was running basically a simplified Mace preamp, or rather, four of them. Fun circuit, good for all kinds of rootsy and classic tones. "Saturation" is like stacking a fuzz on a dirty/crunchy amp, so if you like that, you'll like this. Not surprising that Josh likes it. If you're expecting metal, teal stripe or newer. $299 isn't bad, considering dorks were paying twice that to some guy who paid $50 for it and flipped it to some dude who's younger than the capacitors in the amp. The upgrades basically make it a mini Encore sans reverb, and the speaker out would allow big cabs, where it would shine brighter. Neat.

[@DogSlobberGardens-i7f]

It costs as much as a Katana, but it doesn't come anywhere close to having the same power or features. I can't believe people are actually excited about this goofy thing.

[@Sideofbeans158]

@@DogSlobberGardens-i7fhonestly same, sounds like any heavily driven transistor amp i’ve played through, i sold my peavey backstage classic for like 40 quid, much nicer amp than this

[@DogSlobberGardens-i7f]

@ the best comment I saw about it was, "This has GOT to be just an elaborate prank being played on us by Josh" lol

[@Dizzy_Duke]

Peavey needs to bring back the Bandit 65 Solo and give it a volume control on top of pre and post gain. To be honest, my old Kustom KGA 8" (think it was a trans-tube) put all vintage Peavey combos to shame.

[@dakotang4724]

Interesting. The Saturation circuit of the original Decade series definitely have their own mojo. I just hope they consider reissuing the Renown amp. Those are magic.

[@chriswritt729]

In the early 80s I used to slave my 100 watt plexi with a decade for some really Incredable stage tones. The secret was a 57 in the cone of the decade was always what the pa was fed. Everyone asked me how I got those tones from that Marshall. To this day, that is the tone I create with every amp I plug into.

[@declanwhite]

I can't believe they actually got Josh Homme to demonstrate it in the video. not sure why he's playing the wrong songs though

[@joeyzeeguitar]

Man, honestly eevverrryone has demoed this thing and played those riffs. Just did something different.

[@johnnysully2689]

My first proper amp was an 80's Peavey Bandit. Had an absolutely killer distortion and perfect for that Ratt/Motley/Dokken sound when i used my Jacksons with it

[@ltd4all]

This amp as a 60-100 w 2X10/2X12 combo would be KILLER! (With a matching swivel extension cabinet) for live/band applications. with stereo chorus and reverb/delay.

[@freezeframeplease]

i remember my old peavey bandit back in the day. Sounded amazing for the price it went those old days. a well and unique Non-Tube Amp will always we welcomed on my rig! amps like Trace Elliot, Marshall Mosfet, and Peavey are amazing pieces of gear

[@gigsandguitars6921]

This would sound great in a mix! 🤘

[@williammolina9792]

I have a peavy valveking 20 combo, and I love it.

[@wanbaclone]

LOVE Peavey and the silver stripe 80s aesthetic. You can have my early 80s Peavey Rockmaster 120-watt all tube head when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands. It's way more versatile than any comparable Marshall from the same era.

[@benligil]

I have a Studio Pro 110 fro 80's my first amp. just installed a speaker out jack and voila. Killer tone from 12" inch speakers. Love and Peace from Çanakkale, Türkiye

[@bmac5085]

This was my first ever guitar amp, I loved it 😊

[@JakeSchlade]

Loved my TNT100 bass amp back in '79. I hope the Decade Too does well for Peavey-sounds/looks cool.

[@edhornby4885]

Those grey knob Peavey amps were everywhere in UK schools and colleges but sleeper amps , the bandit was killer

[@chaussmk]

Had one in high school. Still have a Peavey Rage 258 sitting next to my main amp today. They work so well with a Strat or Tele it's scary!

[@Sonnytimesalways-lx7je]

I had a small Peavey in the 80s I remember the silver strips down the sides and it had Reverb to , don't know what Peavey it was but I loved it and played the shit out of it .

[@sigma5054]

Love Peavey, have had a Bandit, a Bravo and a Rage, also use a PV6 mixer.Harvey Peavey philosophy was selling to public for less ( originally at least ).Glad JH has endorsed them ,like Joe Satriani before, it creates a healthy place where Peavey will make more of their goodies!

[@j.d.lawrence1222]

Been needing one of these for quite awhile.....might even get two (too) to run em in stereo 👯

[@PerJohansson-Xeizo]

LoL, I had the original, I even modded it with a rechargable battery and a charging circuit. If I had known it was a keeper :) On the serious side, I believe you can use virtually any amp, it's all in the talent of the user.

[@LouisonLabeaume]

Nothing beats the good old Peavy Bravo for practice and recording.

[@MikkelGrumBovin]

i still got mine , from the late 80és ! - it runs on batteries aswell !

[@bart26188]

this amplifier sounds good in a mix with Ampeg VT-40 and Vox AC50

[@MrUmandMrEr]

Nice neck sound. Is the Bandit back too?

[@RRW276]

I’ve had my ‘84 peavey studio 40 for more than 20 years and it’s just the best amp for me. Although, I need to have some repairs done on it.

[@Ligma-Peavey]

Would love to see a 2x12 stereo chorus re-release...those things were beasts and sounded unreal. 120 watts too

[@flyboyu777]

I've been looking to get another Peavey-I had a Deuce in college that was LOUD. Very clean sounding amp also. . . .

[@markcharleslamendola2928]

I’ve had a Rage for home recording since they came out.. it’s mint and records great!

[@RobTackettCovers]

I've got a pair of Slate VXT headphones on to listen to the mic'd up tones coming from that little Peavey...it sounds spectacular....

[@daviddenoncourt757]

Josh Homme Signature: proceeds to not play a lick of Josh's music.

[@c03x157]

The Olds peavey are My favorito transistor amps! Back stage with spring reverb ufff Is mi favorite practice and tiny performamce amp and eat Pedals very good

[@sevenandone71]

The funny part is the "Josh Homme" peavey Decade...when in fact it was mostly use by Nick Olivieri on Bass part(well, 2 SVT's with 410in front of each others-u47 in the middle i think- for the "sub"+ the decade for the main tones/grit. At the end, the decade was the most important part of the tones). Josh use it for a few guitars part here and there(on recent record aswell), sure, but it was Nick bass tone on song for the deaf. And the best part is "we will start with clean tone because...." when actually, QOTSA is mostly Clean tones lol. I remember a video Troy did on Reverb channel where the guy try to replicate the tones on their popular songs: Troy: "too much gain..too much gain...pretty close, but too much gain. Believe it or not, but it was mostly clean when we record it!!!". Guess the saturation come for the broken HP's, Vintage crappy mics they use to reord it. living room gd did a video on the decade...and get pretty close to Nick and Josh tones. Troy use old solid state Peavey too. His own company build amp blending the power amp section of Bassman and AC30 with solid state preamp to get the best of his former rigs(handwiring AC30+Peavey musician head). And on Villains, they dind't use amp for the most part...guitars to JHS color box(neve channel in a pedal) direct to Console(no IR or amp sim at all, like old David Bowie and some Stones/ ZEP stuff)...but stiil use the decade on a couple songs. The ideas was: there's 3 guitarists, 2 go DI, the 3rth use a amp, someting like that

[@MarkSquires-qk9me]

Thought he used Gorilla amps as preamps mostly? Didn’t know it was Peavey that much! Learn something new everyday!

[@croggers1]

I’ve still got a peavey backstage plus 35watt from the 80’s which sound and look pretty similar to these. Can also get the same fuzzy sound like homme gets with this.

[@josephpickard3108]

WIll you guys be selling all the other amazing preamps they're doing too? The Session-400 and VTM pedals look incredible

[@winstonschwarz1636]

I’m getting one! Kinda depressing, however, that NAMM background ambience sounds just like a Wetherspoons! Ahhhhh matey boy just started playing I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER!

[@davedoubleddykhuizen]

I gig with an early 80's Backstage 30, a real stripe Envoy 110 and a silver stripe Special 112 (right name?), and all together the three cost me about $240. One needs to spend a little extra care on the EQ, and a compressor helps the clean channel sing, but guitar nerds often approach me in disbelief. Reliable and cheap as chips.

[@BigToeify]

Ordered.

[@simonjensen5480]

I still have my peavy rage. Is it a vintage now?

[@JustinBrown25]

Me too

[@AuntAlnico4]

Yup and yup ! My little peavey rage sounds better than this Josh amp .

[@webspaghetti]

Me too, great amp. I never really appreciated it when I was younger and just used to max all the controls. The clean tone is great and the supersat too when set to just break up.

[@simonhawkes7469]

Don't get a guy who clearly can't play the kind of riff Josh Homme plays to demo a Josh Homme amp. Madness.

[@briansnyder3147]

Hear me out here: Peavey Bandit but with a tube 30W 6L6 power section. Voice it for a celestion neodym speaker, make the cabinet ultralight but with that classic 80's styling and an FX loop you have a winner. This is catered straight at us guys that grew up with bandits growing up, those amps are the unsung Heroes of countless American garage bands, we deserve a grown up version. I'd play Peavey again but my back can't stand it and I have zero use for a 6505 (nobody needs that much gain) and if it came with one of those ultra cool cabinet racks that's be the chef's kiss

[@trev3971]

I'd argue that the grown up version of a Bandit is just a Bandit, because adults know you don't need tubes to sound just fine in a bar band.

Would have been nice if they made it a double speaker or larger at least. I don't think I'd ever buy a boutique "small amp". If it's cheap I'd consider it but his tone isn't honestly hard to find or re create.
