Peavey Decade Guitar Effects Pedal (DECADE)

Originally released in the early '80s, the Peavey Decade™ amplifier gained a cult following for its raw, gritty tone, quietly becoming a go-to for players chasing unconventional edge and saturation. Now, Peavey brings the legendary amp back to life in compact pedal form with the Decade™ Preamp Pedal, delivering the unmistakable voice of the classic amp in a modern, pedalboard-ready format.

A faithful recreation of the original 1980 circuit, the Decade Preamp Pedal captures the full character of the amp that started it all. Its switchable Saturation mode acts like a second channel, delivering rich harmonic overdrive at the flip of a switch. Pre and Post Gain controls, a responsive three-band EQ, and a hard bypass switch with anti-click circuitry ensure clean integration into any signal chain. Powered by a standard 9V supply, the pedal internally boosts to 24V, delivering the headroom and dynamic range that defined the original.

Part of the Peavey Legacy Preamp Series, this pedal is a miniaturized version of an iconic Peavey amplifier, built with premium components inside a rugged die-cast enclosure. From high-quality pots and switches to fiberglass PCBs with 2-ounce copper and plated-through holes, every control and cosmetic detail reflects the original amps, while the sounds stay true to their legendary tone—without the weight. Adjustable output levels make it compatible with both instrument and line-level applications, providing flexibility for any setup.

Rooted in history, built for today, the Decade Preamp Pedal carries the same spirit of innovation that defined the original amp, reborn for a new generation of players.
