Description: Capture one of the most legendary, sought-after underground studio tones in modern rock with this authentic 1987 Vintage Peavey Rage 12-Watt Combo Amplifier. Widely celebrated as Josh Homme’s (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Them Crooked Vultures) famous secret-weapon studio practice amp, this original late-80s "Silver Stripe" iteration delivers the unique, razor-sharp saturated clipping, mid-forward growl, and compressed desert-rock fuzz that bigger tube stacks simply cannot replicate.

Proudly built in Meridian, Mississippi, USA, this compact powerhouse pushes 12 watts RMS through its original factory 8-inch Peavey driver (4 Ohms). It features two switchable modes (Normal Gain and Lead Gain with Supersat control), a versatile Preamp Out jack for driving larger power amps or slave rigs, a 3-band EQ, and a dedicated headphone jack. A must-have tool for desert rock tone chasers, recording engineers, and collectors of cult-classic American solid-state gear.
