The Rock Master Preamp Pedal is part of Peavey’s Legacy series and recreates the famous Rock Master “Ultra” channel from the early ’90s—basically a high-gain monster tone shrunk into a stompbox.

Core sound
Designed for high-gain rock and metal tones
Tight low end, aggressive mids, and searing lead sustain
Can also clean up surprisingly well thanks to high headroom
More polished and controlled than the gritty Decade pedal

In simple terms:

Decade = raw, lo-fi chaos
Rock Master = tight, focused, high-gain amp tone
️ Controls & features
Pre Gain / Post Gain – dial in distortion vs output level
Bottom / Body / Edge EQ – a more advanced 3-band EQ (not just bass/mid/treble)
Mid Shift switch – scooped or boosted mids (great for metal tones)
Gain switch – jump between rhythm and lead levels
True/Hard bypass with anti-click switching
⚙️ Technology & feel
Uses Peavey TransTube circuitry to mimic tube amp response
Internally boosts voltage (around 30V) for:
More headroom
Better dynamic response
Feels closer to a real amp than most distortion pedals
Character
Very much an “amp in a box” (full preamp section in pedal form)
More modern and precise than vintage-style drives
Great for:
Metal
Hard rock
Shred / lead playing
Use cases
Run into:
FX return of an amp (bypassing its preamp)
A power amp + cab
Audio interface (with cab sim/IR)
Can actually replace an amp’s preamp section entirely
Why people like it
Classic Peavey high-gain tone in a compact format
Extremely flexible EQ (more than most pedals)
Tight, articulate distortion that sits well in a mix

Delivery Exclusions

PLEASE NOTE:

Some products are exceptionally large, heavy or bulky and require specialist freight services. This typically includes items such as large PA speakers, dual 15″ speaker cabinets, dual 18″ subwoofers, flight cases and other oversized or very heavy equipment.

We work hard to keep our prices as competitive as possible and, in most cases, delivery is completely covered by our standard shipping rates. However, for certain oversized items being delivered to regional or outlying areas, the actual courier cost can be significantly higher than standard deliveries. This is also owing to factors completely outside of our control (petrol costs and rising costs of delivery by courier partners)

If this applies to your order, we will always contact you before dispatch to discuss the available options. These may include:

Proceeding with a small additional freight contribution.
Collecting the order from one of our suppliers or a nearby courier depot where available.
Cancelling the order for a full refund if a suitable solution cannot be reached.

Please be assured that we only request an additional freight contribution in exceptional circumstances where the courier cost is substantially higher than normal. Our goal is always to deliver your order at the advertised price whenever possible.

If you’re unsure whether an item may be affected, you’re welcome to contact us before placing your order and we’ll gladly provide a delivery estimate.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support!
