What?
Say what?
Well, yes
That is an Invective in my house, the Misha Mansoor signature amplifier from Peavey
The Invective is a 3 channel 120 watt amplifier
But even though I'm saying 3, because you can see 3 different sections here at the front
with the different boosts and whatnot, it feels like a 6 channel amplifier
Power tube section contains of four JJ 6L6 power tubes
It has MIDI, MSDI direct output ...
I do not know what MSDI means, but it sounds cool.
Half power switch, it has two 9-volt auxilary power jacks to power external pedals, two FX-loop
This amplifier comes with this foot switch that basically controls
'everyfring'
Everything you would want on this amplifier.
I think the only thing it's missing is the 'bring coffee' button
Oh, there it is!
Let's try it out
Oh, there it is. Thank you so much Mr Invective.
Oh, it's good too.
And yeah, this amplifier has a wide array of really awesome features
But I know what you're all wondering
Does it Dj-
Does it dj-
F*** it
Does it

For this demo I'm using a Solar A1.6 Artist straight into the Invective
going into an Invective 2x12 cabinet with a V30 and a H75 Creamback speaker
I'm recording this using an SM58 microphone and a Beyerdynamic M160 microphone
Alright, let's go!
Dropped my pick haha
Like a dork.
Okay, so that was a little bit of the lead channel, but let's start with the cleans
Beautiful.
That's the tone right there
Then you have the drive
Awesome clean. Okay, channel 2.
So, as you might hear, the amplifier is really quiet, because it has its own noise gate built-in
So, that's super smart and you can switch it on and off with the foot switch
Works really good.
Adjust the gain a little ...
So, here it is without the boost.
Nice and thick! And with the boost ...
Tone and volume, okay?
Okay, let's go to channel 3, Lead.
It's really nice and tight
That gate closes really well. So, here it is without the gate.
There's a lot of gating happening here.
This is with the gate.
There's a lot of gain happening, so if you're going for a lead type of sound or playing solo
Channel 3 has definitely enough gain for that.
Let's dial down the gain a little bit. I want to chug a little bit more.
I'm trying to kind of describe the distortion right now. It's like it's very wet sounding, but still very tight and dry.
But how can it be both dry and wet I have no idea, but it sounds really good I must say!
Okay, I need to play at least one Periphery riff.
Sorry guys for butchering your song.
Starts out good!
Okay
Last chance Ola. I have no idea how to play this riff. It's just from here now, okay?
Sorry
I don't even know my own songs anymore. What a shame.
Okay, should I try and use the direct output as well? Okay, give me five seconds guys. I'll be right back.
Alright, so now I'm trying out the MSDI output, I have no idea how it sounds.
It's just recording into logic right now.
There you have that, okay. Also another thing I haven't mentioned
is that this amplifier has a master boost as well.
At the back here you have an extra knob for the level that basically sets boost on the master output, so ...
So, say if you're playing a lead and need a master boost, you can just click here
And you can decide on the back here how much of a boost you want, okay? Really cool.
Alright, so yeah. This is a killer sounding amplifier.
And it has a lot of smart features that make it a great all-round amplifier for a lot of different applications.
It's like it's made for the modern player, who maybe has a lot of outboard effects or pedals
With, you know, the features like the 9 volt output and the two FX-Loop, it's becoming a very versatile amplifier
And yeah, they definitely thought things through with this amplifier.
It's nice to see that.
