Using Peavey\'s proprietary TransTube analog tech, the VTM preamp delivers crushing saturation, exceptional clarity and touch-sensitive dynamics—all from a standard 9V supply. If you want old-school amp tone without hauling a half-stack, this is your new secret weapon.

TransTube Power, Straight From the VTM Playbook

Inside the VTM preamp lies a faithful TransTube recreation of the original VTM 60/120 amplifier\'s preamp circuit. This unique analog design uses Peavey\'s high-voltage TransTube technology to emulate tube-like response, touch sensitivity and dynamic distortion—all powered from a standard 9V supply. From snarling rhythm tones to searing leads, the VTM preamp captures the amp\'s signature grind and girth with surprising realism. Every nuance of pick attack and palm mute hits with authority, while the pedal\'s wide gain range makes it versatile enough for everything from punk to extreme metal. This is no model or approximation—it\'s the VTM, reborn.

8-Position DIP Switch for Custom Tonal Response

Just like the original amp, the VTM pedal includes an 8-position DIP switch for custom voicing mods, letting you tweak its tonal behavior to suit your playing style. Each DIP switch emulates the physical mod options from the original VTM head, giving you the power to shape your gain structure, frequency response and overall character. Whether you\'re dialing in extra gain, sculpting the midrange or tightening the low end, these mods make the VTM preamp feel like your personal amp in a box. Combined with its responsive pre- and post-gain controls, this pedal gives you precision and punch with every setting.

Pre- and Post-Gain Controls for Dynamic Tone Shaping

The VTM pedal features independent pre- and post-gain controls, providing players with the ability to finely tune their signal\'s gain structure. The pre-gain control adjusts the input signal\'s saturation, delivering everything from subtle breakup to high-gain crunch, while the post-gain controls the overall output level. This interaction mirrors the behavior of the original VTM amplifier, allowing players to sculpt their tone with incredible precision. Whether you want tight, articulate cleans or roaring distortion, these controls ensure a dynamic response and tonal clarity across all settings.

Road-Ready Construction With Studio Flexibility

Like all Legacy Preamp Series pedals, the VTM is built to last and designed for serious use. It features a durable die-cast metal chassis, high-quality pots and jacks and a fiberglass PCB with plated-through holes for maximum reliability. A true hard bypass with anti-click circuitry ensures seamless switching, while internal voltage boosting delivers real amp-like headroom and tone. Output levels are tailored to work equally well with instrument and line-level gear, making it a perfect fit for pedalboards, recording rigs or direct-to-PA setups. Rugged enough for tour life, refined enough for critical sessions—this is Peavey engineering at its best.
