      I too would take any of the older Peavey iterations over this, but based solely on price. This thing costs a lot for a very similar tone.

    Hands down, best amp I’ve ever owned. Had em all.. mesa’s, all the peavey’s, marshall’s, framus, diesel, etc… this one does all of them. Stupidly versatile and so so many features.. it’s ridiculous. Will never play another amp again. You gotta do some homework on these and lots of tinkering though. If you’re not into that, you should stop playing.
    Pro tip (like homeboy said):
    Turn the master boost in the back of the amp all the way up and engage it.
    Now turn the master on the front of the amp all the way up. Now just use your post for volume.
    For the boost on the front of the amp, turn it on like you would use a tube screamer.. same with the on board gate.. max it out. If there’s amp noise (not pickup noise) slap a cheap suppressor or gate in the fx loop in the back. Dead silent and doesn’t steal tone.
    If anyone is confused HMU. I got the scoop

    I paused video for moment to comment. Have to be honest, i think this amp sounds pretty good in this video. I like the old Aerosmith sound i hear on the record's. And to me, this gives maybe a better than jcm 800 overdrive distortion tones. I like that "grit" in the tone. Like the speakers can still breathe and not just a bunch of bottom end over compressed sound. I use a couple different pedals for boost just to brighten the midrange to stand out. Damn, i might have to investigate this amp.

I was caught by the same nonsense on my Peavey Ultra Plus head. Design flaw all the way. The footswitch is supposed to augment the system by providing ease of access. If the switch is not free with purchase, then EA has taught Peavey the art of paying for more content.

    This amp require a lot of dialing, and tinkering ime, compared to my BE 50 deluxe for ex, which can't be made to sound bad imo. I find the master boost just ups the volume, you can get really good tone by really dialing the pre/post gains and master volume just right. I find it doesn't wake up at lower volumes like a really high end amp though.

  • @dgarrr2
    @dgarrr2 3 роки тому +4

    Yeah if the amp needs a bunch specific features set a certain way to sound like a normal amp, I'd argue the amp can only be considered worse than it's brethren without those issues. Like a master boost that needs to be set a certain way to sound good is no longer a master boost, just a switch that can ruin the amp. You can make some arguments post-gain and master volume balancing is a tonal feature, but it does sound like people agree to set it a certain way to get the amp to work correctly. I dunno, it is a 5150 with the built in boost, noise gate, and actual clean channel, but if that's worth the price for a china made amp? That will be tonally ruined if you don't have the footswitch plugged in? Oof, that's a big ask

There is no "true" spot or rule of thumb where you need to be positioned to judge what you're hearing. What you're hearing will change drastically by moving just a few inches or degrees around the cab. When I'm playing out, I'm usually never directly in front of my cab, and only a very small percent of the audience is directly in front of my cab, while most of the audience will be off to one side or another, by varying degrees. I can tell what's going by sitting where I sit pretty easily.

    I had one of the first Invectives in germany and i brought it back to the shop after 2 months. Its not a bad amp at all but i still was dissapointed because i did not get what i was hoping for and all my other Peaveys (5150/6534+/TripleXXX) just sounded way better. I hated the Gate..for me it was always too much or not much enough..i didnt like the internal boost...the Clean channel was too dark to me so i had the treble almost crancked. The Resonance was weired..the Presence too harsh and yes i had the post gain pretty high to make the Amp thicker and less harsh. I bought it mainly because of the features Clean..Gate...Boost..and these just didnt work for me so there was no point to me in keeping it...

      Thanks for the in-depth review, I see one locally and could trade in my Mesa Triple Rectifier but Peavey Triple XXX/JSX/etc heads appear locally in Southern California frequently for less than $500 USD for the full 120w heads. I guess the features raise the price but they're features I don't really need.

    Hi kyle, heres one question i have about the invective or any 100+ watt amp. How well does it take a fuzz/distortion pedal (hm-2) . My 6505 hates my fuzz factory 7. I cannot get a good sound out of this 400$ pedal through this amp. But my 50 watt 6l6 loves it. Just wondering for future purchases because i plan on writing a few fuzzcore songs for the future bands set. 😈🍻

    • @belligerentamateur
      @belligerentamateur  3 роки тому

      I'm not the best guy to ask here, honestly, but it usually depends on how good the clean channel is, and the 6505 clean channel is known to be pretty poopy. A super clean amp is usually a good pedal platform

    This amp sorely needs a 50 watt, half-size version akin to the EVH 5150 III 50 way. The full size head isn't great for musicians on the local circuit and some of the features on the 120 are overkill. The 20 is too hampered by the EL84s and packs a few to many features. I would definitely try/buy an Invective 50.

      1000% would buy an invective 50 for 999-1299 usd they would have a very competent and competitive head in the market then. I fully believe that 2000 for a head puts it slightly out of reach for quite a few guitarist but at 1000-1299 it would be competing in the same space as the evh heads and would be amazing

It's professional all the way. All setting spooped in mids and high on bass and treble. I have a Gibson Les Paul HP. With that guitar on clean with Boss GT-8 Preamp it sounds as good as the Original Recordings of Pearl Jam and Nirvana Albums.
