Guitar
Player reviewer
Barry Cleveland
raves about
the tone
and value
of the Backstage
in his March
2004 hands-on
product review. "This is easily one of the best-sounding mini amps I've ever heard," he writes. "It delivers a great assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic
response,
all in a
pint-sized
package and
for a very
modest price."
The
key is Peavey's
exclusive
TransTube
technology,
which emulates
the sound
of tube amplifiers
without the
hassle or
cost of dealing
with unpredictable
tubes. The
TransTube
preamp tailors
the gain level for any amount of drive, from clean to crunch to scream, using a patented
approach
to emulating
12AX7 tubes
and their
ability to
create even,
harmonic
distortion.
It also mimics
the "push back" response of real tube circuitry, which is essential to emulating tube dynamics,
distortion
and chime.
