SNAMM07: Classic Rock Combo

Peavey launch Windsor Studio 15-Watt Class-A guitar amp 27-Jul-07
SNAMM07: Classic Rock Combo


Peavey has introduced the new Windsor Studio guitar amplifier, a class-A, 15-watt combo that they say gives guitarists the classic guitar tones of rock’s golden era with new, Peavey-exclusive features. With its small size, light weight, XLR microphone-simulated output and Power Sponge output attenuator, they say that the Windsor Studio is equally suited to recording and live-performance applications.

The single-channel Windsor Studio features a footswitchable Boost button, which increases the preamp level to allow the flexibility of a dual-channel amp plus control over the dynamic response and rich distortion characteristics of its class-A tube power topology. The Boost function can be used as an overdrive feature for the power section or simply as a volume boost for soloing. This 15-watt amplifier uses two 12AX7 preamp tubes and one EL34 power-amp tube in a single ended configuration with no negative feedback. The power section is designed to accommodate 6L6GC, 6550, 6CA7, KT88 and KT66 octal power tubes, as well as variations on those types.

Peavey’s exclusive new Power Sponge output attenuator incrementally adjusts the power output of the amplifier while maintaining the distortion characteristics of the power amp at any chosen volume level. Also onboard is a transformer-balanced XLR direct output with a unique microphone simulator that allows players to send the amplifier signal to a recording device or front-of-house mix without the use of a microphone. Additional features include true spring reverb, preamp volume, master volume, three-band tone equalization, footswitchable effects loop and a single 12� loudspeaker.

    Does anyone remember the Swinging Gate Teen Club in Ft. Wayne Indiana in the 1960?s? A lot of national groups graced their stage! The Who, The Buffalo Springfield, The Yard Birds, Dennis Yost and the Classic’s Four and The Outsiders just to Name a few!

    I was a member of that teen Club and I saw a lot of those bands as a matter of fact I am Drummer and we were the Swinging Gate House Band and we played with a lot of Headliner groups!

    The name of our band was The Souls on Fire and we played with Dennis Yost and The Classic’s Four when they played the Swinging Gate. We also Played with The Outsiders when they played the Swinging Gate! We also Played with Derek and the Dominoes at the Hullabaloo club in Fort Wayne, Indiana. (another great club from the past) (Remember this was all in the late 1960?s) John Comer Cleveland, Ohio
