  • Page 4 This newest Peavey guitar amplifier harkens back to the tones of classic rock while offering unique modern features. The Butcher is a two-channel amplifier with five 12AX7 preamp tubes and four EL34 power amp tubes. Both the Clean and Crunch channels feature independent three-band EQ, plus channel volume and preamp gain controls so guitarists can adjust the interplay between the preamp and power amp on each channel for an array of gain possibilities.

    Front Panel POWER SWITCH This two-way toggle switch applies mains power to the unit. The power status lamp (3) will illuminate when this switch is in the ON position. STANDBY SWITCH This two-way toggle switch allows the amp to be placed in the STANDBY mode. In the STANDBY position, the tubes stay hot but the amplifier is not operational.
  • Page 6 TREBLE This control varies the high-frequency response of the Clean channel. CHANNEL BOOST This switch activates a preamp boost in the Clean channel for a pronounced overdrive. This feature is swit- chable via the footswitch or via MIDI. For a complete list of MIDI commands, please refer to page 12 of this owner's manual.
  • Page 7 This eight-pin DIN connector is provided for the connection of the remote footswitch. You must use the in- cluded eight-pin cable, as it supplies power to the footswitch. The Butcher can also be controlled remotely via MIDI using a standard five-pin MIDI cable. For a complete description of the MIDI commands, please refer to page 12 of this owner's manual.
  • Page 8 HALF POWER SWITCH The Butcher is equipped with a half-power switch that reduces the maximum output power from 100 watts to 50 watts. 50-watt amplifiers have a different character than 100 watt amplifiers, overdriving more quickly and at slightly lower volumes. This switch is available for you to determine your own personal preferences and can be a versatile tool in the studio as well.
  • Page 9 Note: You must use the included eight-pin cable, as it supplies the footswitchwith power. When using an external MIDI source to control the amplifier, a five-pin MIDI cable can be used. Since the Butcher uses MIDI control, changes made to switches on the amplifier will be reflected by the LED's on the footswitch, and vice versa.
