Windsor Studio™
All-Tube Combo Amplifier
Congratulations on your purchase of the new Windsor Studio tube combo amplifier from Peavey. The Windsor Studio offers
more "bang for your buck" than any other combo amp on the market and the tones that you will experience from this 1 x 12"
Class A powerhouse will more than hold their own with the most sought after boutique models on the market, at a fraction
of the price. That said, the Windsor Studio is still made from top-shelf components with all of the reliability that you have
come to expect from Peavey.
This versatile new single-channel combo offers several new features that make it perfectly suited for any guitar amp
application, whether it be home recording or live use. The all-new Recording Output circuit provides a microphone-
simulated XLR connection for patching to PA or recording gear. Since this 100% passive (no clipping) circuit taps directly
from the speaker output, the resulting sound gives a simulation of a microphone strategically placed in front of whatever
speaker you are using....no more tripping over mics on stage! It also features the new "Power Sponge
continuous power level control, between the output and speaker, which provides a constant load impedance to the output,
with respect to the setting of the control and the impedance of the speaker....the result is a "transparent" output attenuator
that is variable from full power to none at all. Furthermore, the "Power Sponge" setting does not affect the level or the
Recording Output. In addition, a variety of common large power tubes may be used without the need for re-biasing. The
Windsor Studio is the perfect combination of simplicity and flexibility.
Before you begin playing through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC
line voltage supplied. You can find the proper voltage for your amp printed next to the IEC line (power) cord on the
rear panel of the unit. Each product feature is numbered. Refer to the front panel diagram in this manual to locate
the particular features next to its number.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier.
