Description
The Peavey VTM Preamp Pedal recreates the VTM60/120 preamp concept using TransTube circuitry in a compact pedal format. Pre Gain and Post Gain separate drive from output level, and passive Low, Mid, and High controls shape the basic response. Eight DIP switches modify gain, compression, and frequency voicing, including separate low and high options. An internal inverter generates 25V from the required 9V source, and hard bypass uses anti-click circuitry. Use a compatible negative-tip supply or standard 9V battery.
Features
- VTM60/120 TransTube preamp recreation
- Eight response-modification DIP switches
- Pre/Post Gain
- Passive three-band EQ
- Hard bypass with anti-click
- 9V supply or battery; internal 25V
Why We Like This
The DIP switches offer more detailed gain and voicing changes than the main tone knobs alone. They suit a player who wants to settle on a particular modified-amp character.
FAQs
Q: Does the internal 25V rating require a 25V adapter?
A: No. The internal circuit generates 25V from the specified 9V supply or battery.
Q: Can I use any power adapter that fits?
A: Match the required voltage, current, polarity, and connector. A physically fitting plug is not enough.
Q: Does it replace a speaker cabinet?
A: A signal-processing pedal does not itself produce room sound; route its output to suitable amplification or recording equipment.
