Preamp Pedal recreates the raw, modded-amp aggression of the 1980s
Availability: In stock
The Peavey VTM Preamp Pedal is one of the most aggressive and customizable pedals in Peavey’s Legacy series. It recreates the classic VTM 60/120 amps (late ’80s)—known for hot-rodded, modded Marshall-style tones with a lot of flexibility built in.
Core sound
Thick, high-gain distortion with a strong “British” character (EL34-style voicing)
Tighter and more focused than the Decade, but rawer and more aggressive than the Rock Master
Designed to capture that “modded amp” sound from the 1980s—think boosted, customized tube amps
Can cover:
Crunchy hard rock
Classic metal
Saturated lead tones
Controls and features
Pre Gain / Post Gain – control distortion level and output
3-band EQ (Low, Mid, High) – traditional but effective tone shaping
8-position DIP switch system – the key feature:
Each switch changes gain structure, compression, or EQ response
Mimics real amp “mods” from the 1980s
What makes it different
The DIP switches let you radically reshape the pedal, not just tweak it
You can go from:
Tight and punchy
To loose, saturated, almost fuzzy
Much more configurable than the Bandit or Rock Master pedals
Feel and design
Uses TransTube analog circuitry to simulate tube amp response
Internally runs at higher voltage for:
Better headroom
More dynamic response
Works like a real preamp, not just a distortion pedal
Character
Aggressive, modded, and very “80s”
More organic and amp-like than typical distortion pedals
Can be dialed to be:
Tight and controlled
Or wild and saturated depending on switches
Use cases
Hard rock and classic metal
Players who like tweaking and shaping their tone
Running into:
FX return
Power amp
Interface (with cab sim)
Pros
Extremely flexible due to DIP switches
Authentic vintage high-gain character
Amp-like response and feel
Cons
DIP switches are not footswitchable (you set them manually)
No cabinet simulation
Can be overkill if you just want simple plug-and-play tones

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!
