Peavey Invective MH (USED)

If you’re a fan of modern high-gain amps, the Peavey invective.MH at Mojo’s Music is a compact powerhouse.  This little powerhouse was used for a bit in the studio but not gigged.  

The invective.MH is essentially a downsized version of the full-size Peavey Invective 120, developed in collaboration with Misha Mansoor. It draws inspiration from the legendary Peavey 6505 platform and modernizes it to cater to contemporary progressive metal, djent, hard rock, and precision rhythm playing.

What sets this amp apart is the impressive amount of professional functionality packed into its compact head:

• 20 watts of all-tube power with switchable 20W / 5W / 1W modes
• A tight, aggressive high-gain channel with exceptional articulation
• An excellent clean channel that remains clear and punchy
• Built-in noise gate
• Built-in boost circuit
• MSDI speaker-emulated direct output for silent recording
• USB recording output
• Effects loop
• MIDI switching
• Cab simulation defeat options for IR users and modeler rigs

Tonally, the invective.MH prioritizes precision. Palm-muted riffs hit hard and maintain extreme definition, even with lower tunings or extended-range guitars. Compared to many traditional 6505-style amps, it offers a tighter, cleaner, and more controlled low-end response, which is a significant draw for modern metal players.

However, the invective.MH is not limited to a single genre.

- Cleans are surprisingly usable and modern

- Mid-gain rock tones sound punchy and articulate

- The onboard boost can take leads into saturated territory without losing clarity

One of the biggest selling points is its practicality. Unlike many tube heads, the invective.MH performs equally well in various settings:

• On stage
• In a home studio
• Through a cabinet
• Direct to FOH
• Or silently with headphones/recording setups
