Peavey Raptor® Custom Columbia Blue Electric Guitar With Backstage® II Combo Guitar Amplifier

Description

Classic looks with spot-on tone! A guitar is about so much more than the wood, the finish, and the parts - at least a good guitar is. A good guitar is about how it makes you feel as well as how it makes you sound. Peavey Raptor guitars have an old soul; inspired by vintage instruments from the golden age of guitar building, these harken back to a simpler time. Each Raptor is crafted to inspire you, to deliver tone and sustain that will bring out your creativity and transport you to another time and place. Go ahead - strap one on, grab your favorite pick, and play for a while. The Raptor Custom features the exclusive PowerPlate, a new innovation from Peavey that increases sustain while virtually eliminating dead spots on the fretboard. The wider pole pieces on the pickups produce a more focused guitar tone while the vintage style steel bridge increases the amount of string energy transmitted into the body. The Peavey Backstage II combo guitar amplifier emulates the sound, high output, warmth and "push back" of tube amplifiers and includes features such as high and low EQ controls, a 6 inch heavy-duty speaker, switchable TransTube overdrive, a Aux input for jamming along to your favorite songs and a headphone input for doing so quietly. The Backstage delivers an assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic response. The key is Peavey's exclusive TransTube technology, which emulates the sound of tube amplifiers without the hassle or cost of dealing with unpredictable tubes. The TransTube preamp tailors the gain level for any amount of drive, from clean to crunch to scream, using a patented approach to emulating 12AX7 tubes and their ability to create even, harmonic distortion. It also mimics the "push back" response of real tube circuitry, which is essential to emulating tube dynamics, distortion and chime.
