Peavey Invective 120 - Playthrough, Features and Advanced Tone Tweaking Tips

Welcome to my in depth video about the Peavey Invective 120. Is it a worthy successor of the Peavey 5150 or 6505? Make your own opinion about it while I explain the features and play through the various channels!

In this video I'm explaining the stunning features of this hi-gain guitar amplifier in detail, play through the various sounds of the three independand channels and give some advanced tone tweaking tips.

The tone has been carefully recorded using a Two Notes Torpedo Captor reactive loadbox together with quality IR's from Ownhammer. However, absolutely zero processing was applied to the signal. I made this decision because pretty much every guitar amp sounds sweet in the mix, covered by drums and bass, being highly processed. So I want you to hear the beauty of this amplifier rather than a well mixed and mastered production.

The tone tweaking tips are also carefully measured which took me a couple of days. For this I compared the frequency behavior of all the channels at various volumes, with various features enabled and disabled. This allows you to know exactly how features such as the built in boost, half power mode, master volume boost and the master volume vs. post gain ratio changes your tone in detail. These tips are based on actual measurements of the frequency response rather than subjective opinions and will be very helpful for you to get the absolutely best out of this amplifier.
