Quick Start - Peavey Transtube Series Operating Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the world's most technologically advanced guitar amp, the
Transformer ™ by Peavey. Though instrument amplifier emulation has been occurring for some time
now, none have accomplished what Peavey has in the Transformer. Within a small, light weight
combo package, Peavey has managed to emulate both the voicing and dampening characteristics of
some of the world's most popular amplifiers using TransTube
This guide covers both the Transformer 112 and the Transformer 212. The difference in the two
models are noted where applicable. It is important that you read this guide in its entirety. There are
extra functions within the Transformer that are not made apparent by the front panel labeling. Just
like a computer may have "hot key" combinations (pressing two keys will perform a distinct function),
the Transformer uses certain button and knob combinations to achieve special functions. These are
explained in detail within this guide. A chart indicating these "hot key" combinations is included for
quick reference and a complete section, Transformer Tricks, has been dedicated to the subject.
The Features list and Quick Start section will familiarize you with the Transformer . We're confident
that you will be amazed at the great sound of this amp; however, please read the manual in its
entirety. Doing so will give you the knowledge you need to mold and shape your tone and create
voicings reminiscent of classic amp designs as well as modern icons. Let's get started!
