Peavey Electronics® is now shipping the latest in their new Legacy Series of pedals, the Rock Master® preamp pedal. This pedal delivers the highly sought after Ultra Gain tones of the early 90’s Rock Master Guitar Tube Preamp in a compact package small enough to fit in your back pocket. The pedal is now available worldwide through local and online retailers.
The original Rock Master Guitar Tube Preamp is what some consider to be the granddaddy of what became the Peavey XXX and JSX guitar amplifiers. Most notably, the Ultra gain section. The new Rock Master preamp pedal focuses on this Ultra Gain section and the units Voicing EQ. The units PRE and POST gain controls allow the user to control the amount of gain applied to the input signal via the PRE control and the overall output volume via the POST control. The active three band EQ/Voicing section allows players to fine tune their overall tone with BOTTOM, BODY, and EDGE controls. As it implies, the BOTTOM control is an active +/- 15dB shelving type tone control that varies the low frequency boost or cut. The BODY control is an active, peak/notch +/- 15dB tone control that varies the mid frequency boost or cut. And the EDGE is an active +/- shelving type control varying the high frequency boost and cut. Internally, it is Peavey’s TransTube® technology that brings it all together to create that groundbreaking Peavey Rock Master “Ultra” channel circuit.
Construction of the pedal uses a die-cast metal enclosure, fiberglass PCBs with 2-ounce copper and plated through holes on all components, high quality pots, switches, and jacks, and cosmetics reflecting the original preamp that influenced a whole generation of guitar amplifiers. The pedal can be used with either a 9v power supply or battery.
