Peavey Unveils Latest Jewel in ValveKing™ Series Crown, The Royal 8™ Class-A Amplifier Press Release 2006-08-06 Peavey proudly introduces the ValveKing Royal 8, a true class A guitar amplifier designed to give players the punchy dynamics and tones that inspired rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest riffs. The ValveKing Royal 8 delivers 5 watts into 8 ohms with one EL84 output tube in a single-ended configuration and one 12AX7 preamp tube for high power amp gain with no negative feedback. This single-channel design emphasizes the dynamic relationship of the power-amp components to produce volume and headroom that belies its small size and wattage. Perfect for rehearsing, the Royal 8 features a simple interface of a single tone control, dual ¼” inputs and master volume and gain controls that can be adjusted for either class A “breakup” poweramp tones—achieved by reducing the gain and increasing the master volume—or preamp distortion, which players can access by reducing the master volume and cranking the gain. The Peavey ValveKing Royal 8 will be available from authorized Peavey retailers in Q4 2006.
