    Peavey invective. 120 Electric Guitar Amplifier Head 120 Watts

    If you’re looking for an amp that delivers crushing high-gain tones without compromising on crystal-clear cleans, the Peavey invective.120 is the answer.

    This amp head combines the legendary aggression of the 6505 series with a refined clean channel and advanced features. Perfect for both stage and studio, this amp offers the versatility and power you need to handle any performance.

    Peavey invective.120 From Sparkling Cleans to Bone-Crushing Gain

    From Sparkling Cleans to Bone-Crushing Gain

    Peavey didn't just slap a clean channel on a high-gain monster; they engineered a sonic palette that covers every base. Whether you're laying down ambient jazz textures or chugging through complex djent rhythms, this head has the headroom and character to handle it.

    • Tube Powerhouse: At its heart beats a quartet of matched JJ 6L6GC output tubes. These aren't just glass bottles; they’re the engine room delivering 120 watts of raw, articulate power that you can feel in your chest.
    • 3 Unique Channels: Enjoy a Clean channel that remains crystal clear even at high volumes, alongside Crunch and Lead channels delivering Peavey’s signature saturation. It’s like having three amps in one.
    • Precision Tone-Shaping: Dial in your perfect sound with independent Pre and Post Gain controls on the Crunch and Lead channels. The Clean channel has its own dedicated EQ, ensuring your pristine tones stay separate from your high-gain settings.

    Smarter Than Your Average Tube Amp

    We know that modern guitarists need more than just raw volume. The invective.120 is packed with "quality of life" features that replace half the pedals on your board, keeping your signal chain pure and your setup simple.

    • Built-in Noise Gate: Forget about noisy 60-cycle hum ruining your staccato riffs. The integrated noise gate on the lead channels is fast, accurate, and designed specifically for tight, percussive playing.
    • Integrated Boosts: Why rely on a pedalboard when your amp can do the work? The Clean channel includes a boost with adjustable drive and tone, while the Crunch and Lead channels each feature their own boost level and tone, providing a built-in overdrive to tighten your low end.
    • MIDI Mastery: Complete with MIDI In/Out/Thru and a 9-preset footswitch, this amp integrates seamlessly into complex rigs. You can switch channels, loops, and boosts with a single tap, letting you focus on playing.

    Peavey invective.120 Ready for the Road and the Studio

    Ready for the Road and the Studio

    The back panel of the invective.120 is a testament to thoughtful engineering, solving the headaches that gigging musicians face every night. It connects to just about anything you can throw at it.

    • Silent Recording Made Easy: The Microphone Simulated Direct Interface (MSDI) delivers a balanced signal straight to your front-of-house or recording interface. It replicates the sound of a mic’d cab without the hassle of microphone setup or unwanted room noise.  
    • Pedalboard-Ready Design: With two switchable effects loops and dual 9VDC auxiliary power jacks, you can power your essential pedals directly from the head. A cleaner, simpler setup with fewer points of failure.  
    • Adjustable Power Output: The half-power switch lets you reduce the output for smaller venues or bedroom practice while retaining that rich tube saturation.

    Punishing Periphery Tones

    Ready to unleash your sonic fury straight out of the box? The Peavey invective. 120 is a serious guitar amp that beautifully merges analog, tube-driven power with smart features that any guitarist will love.
