Peavey's Preamp Pedals were listed by the company at 239 USD and are now selling for 199 USD, according to a report published on January 25, 2025¹. The same report says the pedals appear to be sold out for now¹. A separate listing of the five models gives each one at $199², and a Peavey announcement carried by Premier Guitar puts the Rock Master at a retail price of $199.99 USD³.

The line covers five circuits from Peavey's amp history: the Session LTD 400 (1974), the Decade (1980), the VTM 60/120 (1987), the Bandit 112 and Supreme 160 Teal Stripe (1990) and the Rock Master (1990)². The Bandit pedal reproduces the early 1990s Bandit 112 and Supreme 160 lead channel, with Pre and Post Gain controls, Gain and Mid-Shift switches, and a three-band active EQ labeled Bottom, Body and Edge; it runs from a standard 9V supply or battery through an internal bipolar power supply and has a hard bypass switch with an anti-click circuit¹. The Decade pedal is based on the 1980s Decade circuit and adds a switchable Saturation channel, with an internal 24V power supply¹. The Rock Master uses Peavey's TransTube technology for the Ultra channel circuit, with an active three-band EQ that Peavey describes as plus or minus 15dB on each band, a die-cast metal enclosure and 9V or battery power³.

The Session LTD 400 pedal is based on the 1974 Session/LTD 400 preamp circuit and adds a shift control for mid frequency and a Presence control¹. The VTM pedal covers the VTM 60/120 preamp circuit from around 1987 and includes an eight-position DIP switch for different gain structures and an optional compressor¹.
