Peavey had unlocked the secret of realistic tube emulation, spawning one of the most successful solid-state guitar amplifier series in history: the Peavey TransTube Series.
Today, the TransTube circuitry is still the pinnacle of tube emulation technology, powering the screaming distortion of Peavey's award winning Vypyr® line of modelling amplifiers and the new addition to the enduring TransTube amplifier line, the Peavey Special 212™ combo.
The Special 212 features an all-new 100-watt TransTube output power section, on-board reverb and analogue chorus, effects loop, and 2x12" Peavey Blue Marvel® loudspeakers.
