GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Peavey Butcher® has been designed to faithfully reproduce the searing "crunchy" sound sought
after by today's demanding hard-rock guitarists. All controls and functions have been specifically
tailored to produce the ultimate in tonality, distortion, and sustain characteristics.
The Butcher will deliver 120watts RMS into load impedances of 4, 8or 16ohms, and is capable of
driving multiple enclosures for those players wishing to achieve truly overwhelming sound pressure
levels. Its construction will allow the Butcher to withstand the rigors of use in a night-after-night
touring environment. The cabinet is constructed of
3A"
wood and is covered with the heaviest available
34oz. Tolex™. Ruggedness is enhanced by huge metal corners and asteel-reinforced carrying handle.
Internally, the Butcher features chassis construction of 18 gauge steel, massive steel-mounted trans¬
formers, and the finest components available. The all-tube circuit utilizes time-tested European
ECC-83/12AX7A preamp tubes and proven premium STR6L6GC output tubes.
The Butcher's straightforward design allows for relative simplicity of operation. However, in order to
avoid potentially hazardous or damaging situations, please read this operating guide carefully and
completely.
Although the Butcher will provide excellent tone when used with any high quality musical instrument
enclosure, the Peavey 412M™ and 412MS™ enclosures have been specifically designed to produce the
ultimate rock'n'roll sound when used with the Butcher amplifier. If you have not already done so, we
urge you to audition your Butcher with one or more of these remarkable enclosures at your nearest
Peavey dealer.
