In the true spirit of American vacuum tube innovation, for its 60^th Anniversary, Peavey offers the all-new Musician 60 112 tube guitar amp combo.  With its groundbreaking and patented ModeMaster power amplifier section, the Musician 60 112 is the ultimate tube amplifier pedal platform for gigging and recording guitarists in all genres. 

The ModeMaster all-tube power section (US Patent #7,053,714) is the first of its kind in that it allows for either pure Class A or conventional Class A/B operation with either fixed or self-biasing with all other circuits in the amp held constant, at the flip of a switch.  In Class A mode, an all-new output transformer design is used to reconnect both output tubes in parallel for a total of ~27 Watts that dynamically rivals the 60 Watts provided in class A/B mode, in terms of volume, with all of the sonic benefits.  To further control the output and power amp distortion characteristics, a 3-position power attenuator is included as part of the front bank of switches.  A massive power supply transformer is used to keep it all real with any combination of topologies and power levels.  Several common octal power tube types can be substituted using the wide-ranging external bias adjustment and test points, however, the Musician 60 112 ships with a perfectly matched pair of 6L6GCs and three 12AX7s doing the front-end duties. To drive this new power amp, Peavey has included two independent channel-style inputs.  The first has a conventional preamp with an extremely wide-ranging input Gain control, two EQ voicing options, and a passive 3-band EQ while the second is a buffered line-level input with its own input Level control.  The latter is most useful in receiving high output external preamps or effects that the user would prefer to keep uncolored by the preamp.  The all-new reverb system has a Level control and an all-new switch to allow for either Spring or Plate operation.  On the back, there are several more pedal-friendly features, including dual 9VDC (negative tip barrel) power supply outputs capable of up to a whopping 3000mA of DC current, a buffered Effects Loop (footswitchable).  There are also several new Peavey standards on-board, including a variable MSDI (microphone simulated direct interface) with a Filter Bypass switch for optional full-range operation, a Speaker Defeat for silent MSDI use, and dual Speaker Outputs with a 4/8/16 Ohm Impedance selector.  To top it all off, the 100% Birch plywood cabinet is loaded with the fantastic new Sheffield 1230+ (16 Ohms), which is a more consistent and dialed in version of the best Peavey-made Sheffield speakers from the 1990s.  A footswitch for activating the Reverb and Effects Loop (MIDI compatible TRS switching) is included, along with a detachable 15’ shielded TRS cable.
