The Peavey Penta(R) is a single-channel tube amplifier with five totally
different personalities, courtesy its five selectable EQ/gain voicings. The
Penta amplifier combines four matched EL34 tubes with four 12AX7 tubes and
features ceramic tube sockets, custom transformers, ultra-high quality
components and 140 watts into 16, 8 or 4 ohms. A product of extensive tube
amplifier engineering, the Penta is a completely straightforward, classic guitar
amp. Correction: five guitar amps. Using 100% analog Pentatone(TM) circuitry,
this uniquely Peavey amplifier gives the guitar-playing world its take on five
classic gain voicings on a single amp channel. These sounds are identified by
corresponding icons and are accessible by a rotary knob. No fancy footswitches
allowed, and no shimmering effects included-the Penta is for true plug &
play guitar fanatics. The Penta's "Star" icon reveals a classic
British plexi voicing, while the "Bull" icon produces a modified
British voicing with tons of added gain and a tighter low end. The
"Tree" setting is, simply put, fat and clean, while the "Mudflap
Girl" setting is a super-high gain voicing with a more responsive EQ and
power amp section. The "Cactus" icon lays on a thicker British voicing
with a loose attack and slightly more gain.
