The Peavey VB-3 Bass Guitar Amplifier Head gives players nearly infinite control over EQ and gain structure in a tremendously versatile and potent 300-watt tube amplifier that weighs just 37 lbs.
The Peavey VB-3 Bass Guitar Amplifier Head combines three 12AX7 and two 12AT7 preamp tubes with a matched octet of EL34 tubes that give players tons of characteristic tube tone with uncharacteristically tight response for an all-tube amplifier. An innovative, world-compatible switch-mode power supply and advanced design provide stadium levels of tone and power in an extremely lightweight (37 lb.) tube amplifier head.
The Peavey VB-3 also features an all-tube optical compressor that uses a unique "feed-forward" design that is positioned between the two EQ sections to help tame extreme settings and allow full use of the graphic EQ. The compressor is highly sensitive and activated from the first tube stage so it can produce a wide range of compression. The amp’s master volume controls the overall output, while the Clean channel has an independent volume control and the Overdrive channel has an overdrive gain control.
