Dude. Now I can finally get my 1000s of dollars worth of vintage tube amps to sound like a tiny solid state practice amp from the 80s. Genius. Lol (I will seriously have to pick one of these up for recording.)
You can also hop onto a pawn shop selling small solid state amps and see how they sound crancked and boosted
@@lucasgoncalvesdefaria7121
I've blown many a cheapo pawnshop amp seeking the nasty but solid tones I require.

Guitar players: "This piece of gear SUCKS"
Somebody famous: "I used that piece of gear on a recording"
Guitar players: "I've ALWAYS loved this piece of gear!"
Exactly... I've always used cheap solid states and I love my "tone"
Truth
I went from no opinion to disliking it intensely. I guess if sounding crap on purpose is your bag, this is the ticket
In a world of redundant pedal designs, this one is a really cool design of unique sounds that also very useable!
it's the first pedal I've ever associated with the word glorious.
This is fresh! Rather see something like this...
It would be reasonably priced around $100-150 considering the Orange Terror Stamp does the same thing with better tone for $100 less.
I hope they'll make a pedal of the legendary line6 spider 2.
It can have only one knob tbh. Just "insane" saturation.
@@MikiUchman good idea, put a blend knob and we're in business.
in this dark timeline, why not? pay $200 for a pedal of an amp you could find at goodwill for $50.
I miss my "legendary" Gorilla amp....
Isn't that a Pod?
One more example of how Peavey stuff (in general) was basically awesome the whole time.
I have a USA made peavey bass from the 80s that I got for $250 last year... It is one of the best basses for the money I've ever played. Peavey is super underrated.
Peavey has a good sound and easy to dial in
Peavey is still junk. If they were any good most of their stuff would still be relevant. It isn't. People come across it because nobody wants it and try to make it something it isn't. It works, don't make it good.
Great playing. I love QotSA, so to hear you playing these riffs is a real treat. Very well emulated! Thought I was listening to the recordings.
Oh man I used two of those amps back in 1984. Loved the tones and so did my friends.
I like the sounds with the pedal even more! Great!
Josh can literally start a cult and people will make pedals for that.
Theyâll make a pedal for threatening your ex wifeâs new boyfriend for him soon
@@connormckee4431 Hey! he's not her boyfriend.. they're just friends.
And Living Room is his prophet..
Do you have a link where I can sign up for this cult?
@@Jimmyjames738 I'm only "allowed" to send a link but it's not what you think.
This video probably helped sell my Acorn Solid State on reverb. Barely had it up for 30 minutes and it sold. Thanks!
How come you were selling it?
@@drearynonsense203 I'm gonna be focusing on things I actually enjoy. Too much G.A.S. and been acquiring things for the sake of it. Unhealthy habit, really. Gonna go focus on photography stuff instead, which is something I actually spend time doing.
Free commercial
Sounds great! Love how it sounds like itâll explode when it gets cooking. Such a gnarly tone!
Homme's Peavey doesn't sound good because it's a special amp with special "mojo" - it sounds good because he knows how to utilize the nastiness of a cheap practice amp. If you want that sound, just get a cheap used practice amp. If you absolutely need to burn $300 on it (that is the actual price, I wish I was making it up), get 10 cheap used practice amps and spend the rest on beer.
Hard agree
You are so accurate it's not even funny. Hell you could do this with almost any 10 to 20 watt solid state combo amp kustom, Peavey, Randall, or crate it don't matter. Wish people had more common sense like you do so old peaveys could be cheap again đ there's no reason you couldn't get any other cheap old 80s Peavey in the same line to sound gnarly and gross like this too. With solid states It's all about how you eq and drive these things. They all have a magical point of clipping you can find that sounds optimal. They take ods and boosts weird but once again there's magic hiding in the places we're not used to looking.
Dude you're the king of the stone age, that sounds so well.
Cool pedal. Cool sounds, cool looks.
Cool video !
Love the pedal, and the Duesenberg, too!
Sounds amazing.
AH, love the Animalizzer as a special guest. Great work as always, mate.
Thanks!
This is aaaaaaawesome!
Wow, the pedal sounds amazing!! Not a huge fan of the amp sound, but the pedal sounds like an awesome fuzz!
HOLLY COW, a bass demo!!!
Holy bass, a cow demo! đ€Ż
In my personal opinion I think this pedal really has the texture of the guitars on the villains album. Earlier stuff isn't so abrasive sounding
Definitely gonna have to check this out, itâll be a fun companion to my Peperâs Pedals PV Fury 158 (now known as the Mage CLVIII). Thatâs based on the old Peavey Rage 158 combo, a â90s descendent of the Decade thatâs become somewhat iconic in the world of extreme metal.
SERIOUSLY? I think I have my old Rage 158 in storage
I wonder what the pedal sounds like through the decade
I guess it will sound a couple years more mature than Alice Cooper in Iâm Eighteen
Its only been out for a few days!
Maybe like a peavey century?
Double shitty
That would tear a hole in the time-space continuum
sweets spots everywhere! great job!
Thanks a lot!
I was really intrigued by this untill I saw the price! I was expecting around ÂŁ180 but i guess its hand made etc. with R&D I guess thats fair enough. I have a Peavey Backstage Plus which has the same eq and pre amp section as the Decade, paid ÂŁ25... ok so it takes up some space but its 'that sound' The eq is really powerful on these amps and you can dail in the scooped 8" speaker sound pretty well. I've dropped a G10 Greenback in my Backstage and the thing is a BEAST, actually holds up against my valve amps and decent OD pedals. Total outlay ÂŁ105 for a gigable amp that nails Homme tones, im happy with that! Keep an eye out on local ads etc... also the reverb is really nice to, wont be long before the prices go up. Thanks for another great video.
The backstage plus doesn't have the same pre-amp section. I own the backstage, have played through the decade and seen the schematics, the decade is what it is, a super cheap shitty sounding practice amp.
@@MDBenton If you have looked at the schemes thats fair enough but its of the same era and knowing peavey probably uses very similar components/core design. No argument the Decade is a pretty crappy amp but it clearly has its uses... I'd be intrested to compare those schemes if you could point me to where you found them.
Nice choice of guitar
You are my friend lol thank you for everything mane! You have taught me so much! Also my homie just got a them crooked vultures tattoo!!! I wanna see Josh Home collab with Matt Pike one day!!!!!
God I love hangin tree and your vids :)
my god that sounds good
Definitely pick up one of those musician series amps. Unbelievable amp. Great built in reverb and tremelo(reverb rate and depth up, reverb down) built in fuzz is okay on bass, maybe mine needed servicing because it was kind of weak with guitar.
That transistor dirt sound reminds me of my EHX double muff.
Sorry if I can't find it in the video, but when you A/Bed the pedal vs the Peavey amp, did you have both running through the amp's speaker miced up the same way? Just wondering how you recorded that part.. Great sounding pedal for sure!
It has a unique tone and that's saying something considering the number of dirt pedals around
I think I still prefer the amp because there's still more low end there, but that could just be how you've dialled it in, which is fair enough. Still a great pedal. I love how they went the extra mile to make it look like the amp as well.
Hahha, what's wrong with you? You're blaming him for YOU not understanding what an IR is. Why do people like you always complain about low end missing? Just use a shitty speaker IR and you'll get your "low end"
@@noname-ng6sj I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here. I don't think it's a bad tone, nor am I blaming Erik here for anything. I think they're both great, in fact. I'm just saying the pedal sounded comparitvely thin to me, but I'm accounting for the fact he may or not have dialled in more high end on the pedal. I understand there's probably going to be more low end if it's directly from the amp, and I liked having that low end a bit more. That's was what I was saying. I hope that clears it up.
@@DeadWhiteButterflies Good job on not responding to that dude with the same vitriol they came at you with. Also good to see on CZcams
@@graniteoverworld8955 guitar players are just fucking dicks. Not all of them but far too many of them. Every CZcams comment section seems to be full of people who deem themselves omniscient.
Agreed
Serious question - has anyone made an IR of that Peavey Decade or a similar small speaker?
Is there a chance you could demo the UAFX Dream (and the other two in the series)?
I've played shitty old cheap peavey amps my entire career. They're all great
The bass amps aren't great. Muddy. You have to use a guitar practice amp for good tones. Bandit 112 circa 1994 was my favorite clean tone
@@Dwightpower88 wrong. Peavey mark III
Ryan fultz has been using one for years. Always sounds awesome
I'm holding out for the Gorilla GG20 pedal. Fingers crossed đ€
Dude! Lol yes! I had a gorilla amp and it was brutally terrible! I bet it would sound good if you put it in a peddle and gave it a cool name though!
The amp does sound like Kyuss. At least from what I can remember. Iâll have to listen to that those albums again. Itâs been since the late 90s probably. Damn Iâm old..
Okay, so now dow the Stone Deaf PDF2 vs this.
How did Peavey miss the opportunity to put their Transtube circuit into pedals?
I would love to have a pedal based on a Crate GX15R. Billy Corgan used that for the heavy tones on the Machina album.
Billy has bad tone
@@Ottophil ....tone is all about context, Joe Bonamassa has great tone, but it won't work in any other style than his own. Guessing Billy Corgan and QOTSA get something from these amps, not just a gimmick.
Nice
Everyone I knew in the 80s either had a Gorilla or a Peavy amp đ
Damn it sounds even on bass imo
You don't always need expensive equipment to get the job done. When I'm feeling lazy I take a cheap solid state Fender amp to gigs and push it with a decent OD. Does the job and to be honest I'd probably experiment with recording with it.
Does your Musician have the 5 pin input for the foot pedal? Have you been able to find a pedal for it? I called Peavey and they didnt even have a schematic for it.
eww
Sorry donât know why I commented eww on this! Not sure, seems to have a 3 pin? Havenât found a foot switch for it no
Dude I'm looking for one of those too! I don't think it will ever happen but if you ever find one and somehow remember this comment, pls DM me and let me know how you got it lmao
Before it went into the comparison I was thinking, dude that pedal is too bright! I think using some eq could help get a bit closer, but nothing beats the character of the real thing
Turning on the screw sounded identical
The pedal sounds pretty damn close as far as the distortion goes, but the tone the tiny little speaker has is half of the overall tone. If someone made a IR of a 1x10" guitar speaker you might get pretty close. The amp sounds a lot more scooped.
bass demo part is through a 10'' speaker IR
Thereâs a few options out there like the Joyo Cab Box, Sonicake IR Pedal, and the new TC Electronic Impulse IR Loader, all of which offer both 1x10â and 1x8â models. I donât have experience with any of them and canât speak to their quality, but I know the Sonicake is really inexpensive (well under $100) so it might be a good place to start.
Also you can pick up an Orange PPC108 for $110 brand new. Itâs not gonna sound exactly like the Decade since the Orange is a sealed cab with a modern âfull rangeâ speaker, but Iâd imagine it could get you pretty close. At the very least it would make for a great little bedroom rig.
The decade has a super cheap 8" speaker.
Reminds me of the Jext Telez White Pedal.
can it run on 9 or 12 volt DC?
đŻđđ»đđ»
Sounds like the pedal has more mids to it.
I have a feeling that this pedal is gonna go up in price...
You should've run it through the decade cab. Otherwise it's hard to judge how they compare.
Thanks for the A/B test. Pedal doesn't really sound that close to the amp to me. You'd be better off finding a Backstage Plus for $75-100. They have a preamp out for direct recording and you can then pair them with an IR and not have to mess with microphones every time you record.
Brrouh ! (at the begining)
Stack with the pdf?
Love that god is in the radio riff!
I have this pedal and need to get a power supply for it. Any recommendations?
Everything Cioks! The new one from Fender is also pretty good.
@@LivingroomGearDemos Yea, I was thinking the Cioks 7 with its 18V port(s) would be a good call. Overkill since I have a Sweetfoot 13-port isolated PS with dedicated HX Stomp port, but overkill is kinda my thing anyway
Are there any alternatives to his Kyuss Tubeworks amp?
Not sure yet! Been talking to someone on IG lately who are testing out the BK Butler Tube Driver pedals to see if that can work. But then you're missing the power amp section of the Tubeworks amp.
BK Butler made a TubeDriver pedal in the 90s with the same controls more or less. That was after the legendary Chandler TubeDriver that David Gilmour used.
Tube works real tube overdrive (not the tube driver used by Gilmour, the black one with 5 knobs instead), or Dean Markley Overlord (it's the same pedal).
It sounds great but I think you could get any cheap practice amp and get most of the way there
There are photos of Queens at Sound City using the Decade on Rated R.
Oh really? I haven't seen that
You canât just say that and not link anything silly, You canât even look up pictures of the recording, You lie!
The pedal sounds very bright compared to the amp. I guess you run it in a good quality cabinet with another speaker compared to the combo with a built in speaker or I dont know
Youâre fit, but my gosh, donât you just know it
The Streets in all my videos all of a sudden
?!?
@HarryAndAGuitar Bit too much fake tan though but, yeah you score high.
Donât touch me, donât touch me
Leave it outâŠ
Kills on bass!
This is kind of funny. I have a Fender Frontman 15 amp that while kind of a piece of crap, can produce some pretty sweet overdrive sounds. I was thinking of how to take it apart and make that channel into a pedal just the other day.
Wow, pedals recreating Peaveys at prices way above the price of Peaveys.
Not the Decade. Havenât seen one under $300 in a year.
BRUH where's the "Roses in noses" solo
what's this song called 1:19?
Turning on the screw, its on the era vulgaris album
what's the name of the riff played at 0:04
or more like at 0:03 lol
@@benjaminferrari2647 Turning on the screw!
Sounds like a Range Master.
Anyone know how much this pedal is??
$299
Awesome pedal. But for $300 I could buy the amp!!
Reminds me of my peavey rage
so no more SD-1 and EQ pedal boosting at 400Hz? just this? hmmm...
Different sound
the peavey musician is the best guitar amplifier ever made.
Sounds pretty cool actually, like a broken speaker
i have an audition 20, the pedal definitely has characteristics of it, but the sound is far more developed in its ,put a smile on your face shitty tone for sure. the saturation channel in the pedal sounds so much better in that trademark garbage peavey sorta way
I swear I used to have a peavey musician and all my friends hated me for it.
I feel like everyone had a peavey in their bedroom growing up.
It's not the right sound, technically, but it seems like it'd be a fun pedal for some Nirvana jams
NOT MUCH match between the amp n pedal then...or at least not much effort to tweak to match them.
Really cool but its 300 bucks
Its pretty much the price of the amp
Seriously?? What a rip-off
Just go to pawn shop. Those amps are plentiful.
Looll so expensive... I have a rage 158 i paid.....nothing for it lol.. If anyone wants it, i can let it go for just under 10000$. Totally vintage unicorn farts.
$300 pedal that makes you sound like you're playing thru a $50 amp. Makes total sense. It never ceases to amaze me how much money and time people spend to get a tone that sounds exactly like someone else's tone. Why on Earth would you want to do that? Nobody, that I know of, has hit it big with a Crate 10 watt rig, but if you use that and WRITE GOOD SONGS, that will be the next big thing. Jack White selling noise pedals that make you sound like you bought a bunch of broken dime store gear with a grounding problem that cost more than all the Sears gear in the world. Make your own unique tone that sounds like nobody. Stop spending time and money trying to dial in someone else's tone and write, write, write. If the music is great, it won't matter how shit your tone is. Your shit tone can be the next big thing.
Wow! Sounds like crap. Awesome job recreating that tone!
Isnât it ironic that the pedal costs more than the amp
not currently it doesnât. itâs also brand new and more conventient
No, because the pedal literally is an amp (it has a speaker out that activates a faithful reproduction of the Decadeâs 10-watt power section) and itâs been almost impossible to find a used Decade for less than $500 since the interview came out.
Or, - you could buy a $40 used amp at the local pawn...
If you can find one for $40 you should probably sell it for $500 on Reverb.
@@LivingroomGearDemos I'm suggesting that the qualities of that particular amp aren't different from many others.Once you throw over conventional ideas about guitar tones , just keep going.
yup, true. I think the speaker out on this pedal makes it unique, though. It's a very versatile recording tool. Or, you could just use it as a very different overdrive pedal.
@@LivingroomGearDemos I found that the Color Box wasn't all that as a OD / Pre into an amp, but it was great for recording.I could see that here, as well.
@@LivingroomGearDemos A video idea is to shoot out a few cheap 10â speaker solid state amps to see if there is any particular âmagicâ in the Decade or if Josh could have just as easily picked up any similar amp to get the same effect. Thereâs no one Iâd rather make that video than @Living Room Guitar Demos - you rock!
I have no idea what I'm listening to here, compared to what. Just confusing.
same!
Not even close, much prefer the amp. The pedal sounds like a fuzz. And for so many reasons, I loathe fuzz pedals.
Only guitar players would pay $200 for a pedal of a $60 amp đđ
đ€·ââïž we do be doin dat.
299
This pedal simply isn't worth $300, when I can get a head and cabinet for that much.
Existence is so weird.
Omg the pedal cost more than the amp
Gorilla amps in 2023!
Yep. Sounds like a crappy 10 watt amp.
Awesome to get that drunken "hit your children" sound! đ€Ą
