Peavey Special 212 TransTube@ Special’”, Front Panel Features High Gain Input, Low Gain Input

TransTube@ Special’” 212

Congratulations on your purchase of the all new TransTube@ Special@ 212. This amp represents years of research on vacuum tube emulation, resulting in a totally new Special. The preamp has been redesigned, using patent-applied-for technology that redefines tubelike distortion and harmonic generation in solid-state amps.

The three channels have been voiced dissimilarly to allow for three completely different and extremely versatile tones. The Clean and Lead channels both utilize the passive EQ popularized by the Bandit@ TransTube@, and the Ultra channel contains a 3-band active EQ-Bottom, Body, and Edge, such as the one from the Rockmaster’” preamp. These three channels allow for amazing variations that are instantly attain- able using the remote footswitch.

The new patent-pending T-Dynamics’ circuitry creates the long sought for tube power compression phe- nomenon. This, in combination with resonance and presence circuitry, yields the closest tube amp simulation to date. This compression effect is increased by turning the T-Dynamics’” control down, which lowers the power level the amp puts out.

To further enhance the performance of the Special 212, an added speaker jack along with a footswitchable effects loop allows for even greater flexibility.

FRONT PANEL FEATURES

HIGH GAIN INPUT (1)

Used for most electric guitars. It is 6 dB louder than the Low Gain input.

LOW GAIN INPUT (2)

Provided for instruments that have extremely high outputs that tend to overdrive (distort) the High Gain input. If both inputs are used simultaneously, the output levels are the same (both are Low Gain).

BRIGHT SWITCH (3)

Provides a preset boost (+6 dB) to treble frequencies. To activate, depress the switch to its “in” position.

CHANNEL SELECT SWITCH (4)

Allows selection of the Ultra or Clean channel. The “in” position of the switch selects the Ultra channel and the “out” position selects Clean.

Note: Channel selection may also be achieved by the remote footswitch. If remote selection is desired, the channel switch must be in the “in” (Ultra) position.
