Peavey Windsor 120 Watt Tube Amp

Peavey seems to be hard at work creating new interesting amps these days. The Windsor looks like an awesome amp.

With three 12AX7 preamp tubes and four EL34 power-amp tubes in a single-channel configuration it seems like a great rock amp with lots of power.

Peavey make really good tube amps (Classic Series are great) and this sure looks good on paper. The Peavey Windsor features the patented Presence and Resonance controls. These controls adjust speaker damping from tight to loose in the high and low frequency ranges, respectively.

The Peavey Windsor has another interesting feature - a texture circuitry for adjusting the response characteristics from modern Class A/B push-pull, to vintage Class A sounds, which should give the amp a very versatile sound.

Features

• 120 all-tube watts
• Three 12AX7 preamp tubes
• Four EL34 power amp tubes
• Single channel
• Footswitchable gain boost
• Three-band EQ
• Footswitchable effects loop
• Master Volume
• Patent-pending Class A-A/B Texture control
• Patented Resonance and Presence control
• High and low inputs

This looks like a killer amp, and I'd sure like to try it. It is not overly priced either, at about $399. Still, I'd love to see this type of amp as a small head, like a 15 - 20 watt head, that would have been awesome for smaller gigs!
