Peavey Musician 60 112 - Tube Guitar Combo with ModeMaster Section

In true American tube innovation spirit, celebrating its 60th anniversary, Peavey presents the all-new Musician 60 112, a tube guitar combo amplifier. Thanks to the groundbreaking and patented ModeMaster power amplifier section, this unit serves as the ultimate tube platform for guitarists performing live and in the studio, regardless of their preferred musical style.

Product Features

The Peavey Musician 60 112 amplifier stands out with its fully tube-based ModeMaster output section, which is the first of its kind to allow operation in pure Class A or conventional Class A/B with fixed or automatic biasing, without changing the rest of the circuits. The package includes a three-position power attenuator, as well as two independent channel-style inputs: a classic preamp and a buffered line-level input. Additionally, the combo offers a variable MSDI interface, selectable spring or plate reverb, and dual 9VDC power outputs with up to 3000 mA capacity.

Professional Capabilities for Every Guitarist

The ModeMaster section (US Patent No. 7,053,714) is a unique solution, as it allows changing the power amp topology with a single switch. In Class A mode, a new output transformer is used, connecting both power tubes in parallel, delivering approximately 27 Watts that sound dynamic, almost like 60 Watts in Class A/B. The massive power transformer maintains stability in any configuration. The model supports various octal tube types thanks to external bias adjustment, but comes factory-installed with a pair of 6L6GC tubes and three 12AX7 tubes in the front end. The first channel is a preamp with wide gain, two EQ options, and a passive three-band equalizer. The second is a buffered line-level input, ideal for external preamps or effects with high output levels that need to remain transparent. The new reverb system with a Spring/Plate switch and an effects loop (buffered, footswitch-controlled) make the Musician 60 112 an excellent platform for pedalboards. On the rear, you will also find a variable MSDI with filter bypass, a speaker mute option, and dual speaker outputs with a 4/8/16 ohm selector. The cabinet made of 100% birch plywood houses the Sheffield 123{0}+ speaker with 16 ohms impedance, an improved version of the classic transducers from the 1990s.
