Early 1981 Peavey Decade 10-watt 1x8” combo amplifier, made in the USA. This is an original early-production Decade, dating to the second quarter of 1981 based on the factory serial/date markings.

The Decade is one of Peavey’s classic small solid-state amplifiers and has developed a cult following for its aggressive, harmonically rich overdrive and unique three-band EQ. It was later famously used by Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, bringing renewed attention to these little Peavey amps.

This example retains its original early Decade cosmetics, controls, chassis, and Peavey speaker. The original model/serial label is also intact.

A very cool early example of one of Peavey’s most interesting little amps — particularly desirable now because of its association with the recording tones of Josh Homme.

Condition: Good vintage condition with normal cosmetic wear from more than 40 years of use. Power cable could be upgraded but works just fine with no issue. All knobs function well and sounds great.
