Summary

FCC/ICES Compliancy Statement

Peavey Invective MH Front Panel Controls (Part 1)

INPUT

Standard 1/4" jack for connection to the output of your guitar or last pedal if using effects before the amp.

Clean Channel Gain and EQ

Volume control for Clean channel and passive tone controls that regulate the low (bass) and high (treble) frequencies of the clean channel's tone.

CHANNEL SWITCH

Allows selection of the two different channels. The 'IN' position selects the 'LEAD' channel and 'OUT' selects the 'Clean' channel.

GATE SWITCH

Activates the footswitchable preset input gate function when engaged. Used with Lead BOOST (6) for a more precise muting characteristic.

TIGHT Switch

Activates the footswitchable TIGHT function. Reduces gain and alters EQ for a quasi-third channel for articulate, full sounding high gain.

BOOST Switch

Activates the footswitchable preset input boost function, similar to Misha's favorite TS style boost.

LEAD PRE-GAIN

Controls the input volume level of the LEAD CHANNEL, affecting gain and overdrive.

Lead Channel EQ Controls

Passive tone controls regulating low (bass), mid, and high (treble) frequencies for the Lead channel.

Peavey Invective MH Front Panel Controls (Part 2)

POST-GAIN Controls

Controls the output level of the LEAD channel, used for volume and balancing sound between channels.

RESONANCE and PRESENCE

Adjusts damping factor of the power amplifier. Resonance affects low end, Presence affects high end response.

OUTPUT TUBE STATUS INDICATION (T.S.I.™) LEDS

LEDs indicate output tube status (green for normal, red for fault). Monitor tube health and protection circuits.

STANDBY Switch

Shuts amp off while leaving tube filaments on. Use for breaks and warm-up delay.

Peavey Invective MH Front Panel Controls (Part 3)

POWER Switch

Applies power to the unit. Three of four front panel LEDs should illuminate indicating power supply.

Peavey Invective MH Rear Panel Connections (Part 1)

VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH

AC POWER INLET

Receptacle for IEC line cord providing AC power. Connect line cord here for unit power.

FUSE

Located in fuseholder cap. Must be replaced with same type/value to avoid damage and warranty voidance.

POWER OUTPUT SWITCH

Three-position attenuator switch for 100%, 25%, and 5% of rated power (20W, 5W, 1W).

Peavey Invective MH Rear Panel Connections (Part 2)

IMPEDANCE SELECTOR

Selects speaker/cabinet impedance between 16Ω or 8Ω. Set to half individual value for parallel enclosures.

SPEAKER OUTPUT

SPEAKER ENABLE/DEFEAT SWITCH

Disconnects speaker cabinet, redirects output to internal dummy load for silent practice/recording.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT

Connects to headphones via stereo mini-jack. Enables silent practice with filtered output.

MIC SIMULATED DIRECT INTERFACE (MSDI™)

Simulates microphone sound near loudspeaker cone for accurate signal to mixing console.

GROUND LIFT

Engage to eliminate hum in MSDI™ output by removing ground loop. Leave 'out' (GRND) otherwise.

EFFECTS LOOP SEND

1/4" output jack supplying signal to external effects or processing equipment. Always active for sending preamp signal.

Peavey Invective MH Rear Panel Connections (Part 3)

EFFECTS LOOP RETURN

1/4" input jack for returning signals from external effects. Acts as a switching jack to break signal path from SEND.

FOOTSWITCH JACKS
