Peavey Invective MH | Little BIG Tones 

Daaaaaaaang!!! Bea you are such a damn beast.

Man this thing sounds so good

The crunch and saturation is real with this one, love your playing!

Man all the amps in the Peavey MH series are amazing, I have been wanting the classic 20 MH ever since I heard you and Pete play it.

Misha will be here any moment... I can FEEL it!

This is by far the best sounding review of this amp and the deal closer for me ✊🏼

You make 2020 so much cooler. Thank you!

Holy hell! That little thing sounds monstrous!

🤘🤘 Loved it Rabea! That was absolutely the best review of that amp that I have seen. Really, so, so good! Thank you so much!

Sick tones but great playing Bea. Killer riffs, sounds so killer.

For 700, thats a steal. I'm going to save up for this and grab one when they are available. I love all of these features. Finally they put a gate, a boost, a tight switch, changeable watts, recordable output, and whatever else lol all in a tube head that just screams! NEEEEEEEEED IT!!!!!!

Peavey again made a cool amplifier, as always on top!

Absolutely insane! Great demo. Finally! An Amp where the gain knob IS the volume knob! 😂

loving the video production and obviously the audio work

again just perfect....thank you bea u are a god!!!!

I love the distortion tone of that amp!!

Wow what a beast of an amp and man your riffs and style are buttery delicious👌cheers

Holy crap that sounds so huge and awesome.

I mostly view your demos not for the gear (that's interesting also) but for the inspiration. Hell, there are full albums out there with fewer creative ideas than this mere demo. Thanks for your work!

My new dream amp! Sounds incredible! Has that girthy growling yet crispy tone to it

Dang, I had no idea there was an MH model of the Invective. I was looking and the Tremonti 15W or the ENGL 20W but holy cow, the Invective here has the options and sound I want. I just came across this video by accident, thx for the video Rabea!

Man, I think you could make anything sound good! I’m not amp shopping, I just got a 5150 III 2x12 with a vintage 30 and creamback 75, but I almost picked up one of these. Great video!

Killer demo as always

Thinking of getting this as my first amp. My dream amp is a JP-2C, but I have always wanted a 5150, and while the 5150III really tempts me and the 50w models are cool, this comes with so much more and I love the tones it has.

Damn. That's brutal tone.

Can't wait to get this

Holy smokes that thing sounds massive.

Sounds awesome Bea!🤘🤘

This is the video that convinced me to buy this head, so happy I did!

Great review, thanks.

The section near 24:00 is amazing! Damn good amp.

Listening this video for a third time in this month, and man it fizz like a crazy.

I bought this last week. The clean channel is almost as if there is no preamp. It is very clean clean. It takes pedals well if there is a need for a plexi sound or an edge of break up thing if that’s needed. The dirt channel is exactly what you would expect. Very 5150/ 6505. The gate is good though I personally run another on my g system and another again in the loop. I also use a TS in front but only use that as a boost soloing. The boost pedal on this works well and really there is no need for stacking overdrive. I have done it out of habit really. I play a few styles and have a Marshall TSL left and using this right - not in stereo just two different set ups depending on what I am playing. This thing is very loud. It keeps up with my TSL60 and the usual issue with bass thinning at higher volumes doesn’t seem to happen with this amp. I’ve not recorded yet or used the back panel other than to plug in a cab so I can’t comment on these bits. Really my set up will probably be wah, whammy then into this front end (no other drives), then into loop my G system for delays and reverbs etc. Live I won’t bother buying a 120. I’d more volume is needed I’ll go from the amp back into the mixing desk. The 120 looks great but considering this amp I just don’t think it will offer any more to justify getting it. If it were stolen would I replace it? Yes absolutely.

BECAUSE OF THIS, Im going to buy this amp!

How am I just now seeing this monstrosity?!? That sounds KILLER!

Hey Rab' It's been a real long while since I watched you... or even picked up a guitar. The first demo was exactly what I needed. Lots of a love, A severely inspired fan.

Sounds good with the boost and gate

Love that My Curse riff at 20:00 . Sounds thicccc!

❤❤❤❤ awesome player and the amp

Jesus dude...When Bea plugged in the Chapman and started playing...holy shit I did not expect it to sound that good

I would not social distance my self from that amp. Great sound

The Invective rules! I own the 120 watt. Have been tempted to get the MH as well. Big tones indeed! Thanks for posting!

Rabea can make even a cereal box sound good, damn

After the reveal 2 years ago I have finally been able to order it . Can't wait when it ships in the next couple days!!!

12:13 that tone is pure evil metal

i think the philosophy behind naming that switch „tight“, is because you also achieve more tightness with less gain. i prefer less gain and a boost with single coils for example. thats my main setting to play aggressive riffs :D

Loving the progression at 23:36

My positive grid bias mini may have countless options for creating great sounds and profiles, but this is the first tube amp I've played that can match it for most features and the tone difference is truly a reminder of why tube is still king. The one thing for me is no built in reverb, but I guess that's an excuse to go grab more pedals :)

I've had a invective MH for about a yr now. I did feel the need to get a gate pedal, but otherwise I love it. Just started kicking the tires for tracking with it. (Been a toontrack amps guy) Excited to get back to a real amp. Anyone considering getting one, get it.

Sounds good

Peavey is up there with all the best. Maybe they are the best.

That opening is pretty much THE sound of Mastodon.

I’ve had one of these on order for going on a year and a half. I’ve been told they will be shipping in January. Oh man! I can hardly wait! 🤘🏻

Checking out the Grinding Gears Vol.3..... Killler tunes brother!!!! Hotel Cali-Fortin LOL!!

Now! This is METAL! Volume 1

When you can't help but play Absolomb when doing multiple dead notes in a row.

IM BUYING ONE!

I guess I know where my stimulus check is going...

Sounds awesome.. so did you use a cabinet or just direct to interface?

I need a baritone 6 string now...and that amp...and talent

++cool Demo++

Thanks to this video review I've agreed to trade my Cort KX508MS I'm selling for this amp head. Can't wait to seal the deal tomorrow and get some beefy tones down

Sounds huge! Are you recording into the two notes or is this the usb signal?

Beautiful sound but your f*** style is too awesome 😍

Sounds killer,curious side by side comparison to the EVH 5150 stealth?

Hey Bea great video as always. Idk if I'm wrong but it looks like you where using a boss katana as a cab. I was wondering how do you hook up a head like that through a combo amp. Is it through the effects loop or right through the front of the amp.

Man i wish that MLB baritone were available in a standard scale length, the finish is really nice, not so sure about the wenge fretboard though, seems like a nightmare to keep clean because of how open pore it is. I have a Mayones with an Wenge neck and it definitely gets grimey after alot of playing.

2\m/4me actually it's a badass little amp and great playing of course ;)

Crunch Sound @16:17 is perfect

Just got mine today. This is my first lunchbox tube amp, but I have the 6505+ and was hoping I could get a similar tone from the Invective MH for doing shows so I didn't have to lug around a 120w + 4x12 but I'm not sure it's a practical stage choice. The distortion sounds flubby to me. With a tube screamer in front and eq in the fx loop I can get a somewhat workable distortion, but the saturation is a bit lacking. The built in gate squashes your tone when engaged and doesn't quite kill the white noise so I opted for a gate in the fx loop. The thing that impressed me the most was the clean channel, but as Rabea noted you have to boost the highs to almost max. Maybe the tubes need broken in a bit? I checked and it has 3x JJ Ruby HG ECC83s which I believe is a good tube for the small gain stage it has. The boost switch seems almost pointless and the tight switch really squashes your gain down, but could be useful I suppose. All in all it's a great bedroom amp. I feel like it sounds better at low volumes.

Very interested to see this vs the EVH 5150 iii lbx Stealth

Hey Bea, what's your post processing normally comprise of, if any? Also, I want to use your guitar tones as reference for my own so are these tones you come up with made to sound good as a solo instrument or would these tones fit right into a mix without frequency adjustment.

That thing sounds so mean! I might need one.. What's the signal chain on this one, Bea?

Just scored the Invective 412 cabinet for only $250 USD from a pawn shop! I would love to pair this bad boy with it (don't need to go hella big with the 120 and I have big Revv heads).

Hey Rabea, what was the signal chain for this video I see the mini amp on top of Katana MKII. Was it plugged into the power amp in of the katana? If it was not have you tried it and how does it sound? Thanks mate.

damn!

was this recorded using the mic simulation? or where you using mikes? i would like to know what other processes where made to the sound signal. IT SOUNDS SICK!

10:52 what a periphery chord

Sounds amazing. This verses the PRS-MT15?

So obviously, yes it does :P

I heard a guy doing some more basic rock sounds for abiout 20 seconds & it sounded good.

What cab/IR were you using in this? Cause goddamn

Hey Bae, what cab/IR were you using in this demo?

👍

Hey is this always mic simulated output, or can you get a direct signal to put with third party IRs? I can’t find this answer anywhere. Thanks 😊

dam I think I like this better than my MT15 prs because the PRs is so loud on the lead this amp is very useable

What IR are you using? It sounds really clear!

Did he use the amps record out functions for the sound of this video or amp into another IR loader??

Sounds great but when will they be in stock?

The sound of Mordor

I've been looking for a mini head after selling my tri rec, it's now down to the Invective and the Tremonti.

I would have liked it to have a solo boost and it would be Holy Grail to me!

This thing is a 5150 on steroids 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

I luckily bought one from sam ash 3 weeks ago. Only 2 were left, didnt even expect to find it here after searching everywhere.

Look, I’ve followed you long enough to know you will be humble here BUT... how in the world could you possibly get any better on the guitar? From honky country licks to the nastiest chugs. You are awesome.

Even on yt this demo felt heavy

This or the evh stealth???

Would you recommend this amp for use with an 8 string and home recording?

Hi Rabea, which do you prefer? Invective mh or 5150 LBX-3

Better than mesa rectifier rev G. Ola Englund also like this Peavey. What cabinet do you recommend?
