Peavey Invective 112 Guitar Combo Amplifier (200 Watts, 1x12")

Peavey® brings the low hum of anticipation to a full metal roar with the all-tube Invective 112 Combo guitar amplifier, developed in collaboration with Periphery guitarist Misha Mansoor. Designed to authentically produce the much-loved tones of the original Invective 120 at lower power levels, the Invective 112 packs a hefty punch at a lower weight.

The Invective 112 has a rated power of 20 W (RMS) into 8 or 16 ohms. An impedance switch ensures proper power transfer and allows the amplifier to be used with a wider range of speaker cabinets. It also has a three-position power output switch controlling an attenuator, which allows the maximum output of the amp to be switched between 100%, 25% and 5% of rated power (20 W, 5 W, and 1 W). This enables the user to drive the power stage hard, therefore producing the characteristic power amp overdrive, but at a much lower volume. The Celestion Vintage 30 is a favorite among rock and metal guitarists like Mansoor, who need a speaker that can manage high gain and cutting-edge distortion, all while maintaining midrange clarity and definition.

Tube Status Indication (T.S.I.™) LEDs help check the status of the output. The Invective 112 comes equipped with two EL84 power tubes and three 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes that can provide warm, versatile tone. It’s a fitting selection by Mansoor who’s known for using a range of tones and techniques while incorporating crystal clear highs.

The Clean channel has 3-band EQ and is designed to supply… read more a consistently pristine tone regardless of the volume level. Additionally, Clean offers the choice to increase the gain through a footswitch, supplying a harder-driving sound. Similarly, the Lead channel has 3-band EQ and a footswitchable tight function, along with Gate and Boost. Other footswitchable effects include reverb and a buffered effects Loop. Master Resonance and Presence controls allow for adjustment of the power amplifier’s damping factor, enabling the user to dial in their sound even more.

Peavey has also included its exclusive MSDI™ circuit to simulate the sound of a microphone placed approximately 3 inches from the loudspeaker cone. This allows the user to send an exact, studio-quality signal to the mixing console without acoustic spill from other instruments on stage. The mix engineer can activate Ground Lift to cut any hum, if detected. With the USB Record Output, players can plug directly into their computer for home recording with their favorite program. The output is derived from the MSDI and sounds great right into the computer. The speaker Enable/Defeat switch effectively disconnects any connected speaker/cabinet, allowing the user to check their playing with the signal from either the MSDI output, USB output or headphone output, without producing any real volume. Therefore, they can play or record at lower volume levels.

Weighing less than 40 pounds with a sturdy handle for transport, the Invective 112 uses high-grade poplar and birch plywood cabinetry for light weight and a tight, chunky low end. Whether players are looking for a versatile amp for home practice or studio recording, or they want to crank up just louder than the drummer, the Peavey Invective 112 Combo is a modern, feature-packed, and compact solution.
