ValveKing Royal 8 Guitar Amplifier

July 14, 2006

Peavey proudly introduces the ValveKing Royal 8, a true class A guitar amplifier designed to give players the punchy dynamics and tones that inspired rock 'n' roll's greatest riffs.

The ValveKing Royal 8 delivers 5 watts into 8 ohms with one EL84 output tube in a single-ended configuration and one 12AX7 preamp tube for high power amp gain with no negative feedback. This single-channel design emphasizes the dynamic relationship of the power-amp components to produce volume and headroom that belies its small size and wattage.

Perfect for rehearsing, the Royal 8 features a simple interface of a single tone control, dual 1/4" inputs and master volume and gain controls that can be adjusted for either class A "breakup" power-amp tones—achieved by reducing the gain and increasing the master volume—or preamp distortion, which players can access by reducing the master volume and cranking the gain.

The Peavey ValveKing Royal 8 will be available from authorized Peavey retailers in Q4 2006.
