The whole peavey decade story is hillarious. Josh essentially showed everybody that you should not focus on gear but instead be creative with what you have available. The secret of his sound is that he doesn't follow any roads. He mentioned that also at the guitarings show with Kyle and John. But when he showed the peavey decade, his biggest fans went out and bought this amp. Totally ignoring the real message they spend hundreds of dollars for this thing. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the prices on reverb. But still, the peavey story inspired me to try more stuff. Things that might seem odd.

That Guitarings episode was really fun! It's sad that the weird gear pawn shops that let young Josh explore the sounds in his head are getting rarer these days. At least, in the digital realm, good plugins can let players apply the same ethos. Back when I taught music, I told students "just make sure you have an amp that can do passable cleans and enough overdrive for your needs [and most of the time they did], then buy a good EQ pedal and go crazy". Musicians like Josh have an ear for how voices, be it human or instrumental, can fit together in a ensemble. It's an incredible skill to develop.

Most gear snobs would be amazed to see what happens when You spend some time turning up the knobs on your amp, your guitars and pedals. I remember when I First used Boss Metal Zone. I went to the manual and follow the suggested settings to get some Very Nice tones. Fast forwoard to 2005, 2010, 2015, and the Metal Zone became rejected for being too buzzy. Then some KZreadrs showed the same exoerience I had 22 years Ago, and now they're Cool again. Come on.... Least, I must say that a well adjusted metal Zone can get You a Lot of Homme's tones.

Interesting note on the Peavey Decade. I think a lot of people are looking for a "silver bullet" to nail "the perfect tone". If they hear someone like Josh say they use a product, or if a popular KZreadr covers a product, they tend to flock to it thinking "this is the one" when it might not necessarily be for them. I always like trying different things and seeing how they work, whether it's pawn shop/garage sale/FB Marketplace finds or browsing Reverb by lowest price. Pretty much any piece of gear can work in the right context, so it's cool to see what some of the more unheralded pieces of gear can do if you give them an honest chance.
What I find is hilarious is that after he said he used the Decade, and everyone went out buying them up, someone came out with a pedal version of the Peavey Decade that costs over $300 and suckers were buying that right up as well, when you could just go out and buy a comparable Peavey practice amp for $100 or less 😂

Well, the pedal is pretty dang nice if you ask me. You can run in directly into a cab, and then you have a very decent and unique sounding amp. When used as a drive pedal, it's also very cool. Almost fuzzy when pushed. You can get it to sound like a Decade, but it's also a different thing if you want it to be. Not cheap, but again, can be used as an amp.

The Decade was my very first guitar amp. Bought it second-hand and cheap as chips in 1985 when I was 13. I stopped using it when I bought a Marshall a couple of years later. It now serves as a door stopper in my shed. It's all it's good for, really, and why people now suddenly would pay silly money for one, just because Josh Homme mentions one half jokingly in some TV show, is downright unfathomable.

Fun fact: The OD preamp section of the Tube Works RT-2100 is almost identical to the Tube Works 901 Real Tube overdrive pedal. If you want to cop Homme’s Kyuss-era tone without the time and expense of tracking down an RT-2100, you can get really close by using a Real Tube pedal (which are easily found on Reverb for around $150-200) either straight into the front of your amp or as a preamp into its effects loop or your DI of choice.

The pedal is actually waaay better than the amp.
Excellent to highlight the oft overlooked Peavy and Ampeg. I still have my 100 watt Ampeg tube head for guitar with an Ampeg 4x12 cab loaded with Celestions and I love it. I had a small Ampeg practice amp growing up and the Catinbread SFT pedal is a copy of that amp's overdrive because the Stoner Doom crowd started using different stuff to sound different. They are known for bass of course but I highly recommend trying their guitar stuff. They have a great tone for lower turnings like my Orange dark terror does. Most in hard rock and metal knows Orange and Laney due to Sabbath but few pay attention to Ampeg.
I hadn't heard these myths except the Peavy Decade thing. And it's no surprise. If you want a lo-fi tone, go with a lo-fi amp. It could just as easily been a Fender Blue's Jr. or any small practice amp with an 8" speaker. I have played around with some lo-fi tones and I found the Fender Frontman 10 that you get with the packs works well too

Josh tore up Wembley just a few short days ago. Man I hope TCV records and tours another album or maybe a 15 year SFTD tour like the Queens had for their first album.
I know you're not a bass guy but I'd love to see you doing a video on the QOTSA bass tones because theres barely any videos on it despite QOTSA providing amazing bass tones throughout the years. I think that would make for a good video since supposedly there is a secret bass used on a lot if recordings (I suspect it's a Yamaha SA70)
I think the Peavey Decade was 100% used pretty much through the first 3 albums, but mixed in and not as a main amp. It just adds a certain lo-fi wirey sound that is quite distinct.

Cool video Eirik. Yeah, it’s just crazy how a horrible sounding amp (Peavey Decade) that you almost couldn’t give away was suddenly going for thousands of dollars because Josh, almost jokingly, said it was his secret weapon. In all honesty, it was probably used on a couple tracks on SFTD, along with dozens of other crappy low-fi sounding solid state amps along with high end vintage amps and recorded with super expensive mics, and mixed together to create the amazing tone on that album. There is even a pedal put out by acorn amps that replicates the shitty tone of the decade for only a few hundred dollars! As you mentioned, Josh has almost certainly not used it on other albums, and has never played through that amp live… because it’s just not part of his sound. STOP THE INSANITY, PEOPLE!

Hello, I'm a Brazilian fan. The question of Josh using a fuzz, what would you say about PDF-1? Could you bring a video of the PDF timbre combinations with the AMPEG or VOX.
What people don’t get about recording is that sometimes you just need to get a certain frequency hit in a certain way for a tone. That peavey decade was probably one of multiple amps all blended together on the final track you hear.
I heard they used bass heads in the early Kyuss days because all their party/rehearsal jams in the desert. Nothing could get loud enough out there.
In regards to Homme’s set up. He has used all kinds of amps. The thing that seems to stay the same for recording is how he has things setup. Lots of mics around the amp and a couple around the room. Some compression and eq. Getting the tone from mixing the mics and C standard tuning and a guitar that can handle the drop.
Interesting ideas. 14mil baby!!! Let’s Go Livingroom, let’s go!
As far as the Decade it was used mainly as a bass amp in the studio and only as a color blended not the main sound. Eric Valentine showed its use but then that part was either edited out or reshot because Josh didn't want it out at the time. The first video he made gave away a lot of secrets on SFTD but the one you can watch on KZread is different now.

You could make a similar video / series of videos about the Steve Albini guitar sound, either the Shellac or the Big Black period. Same thing, many rumors on forums, comments, some antique obscure gear that might be essential or just him having fun with weird stuff, and an awesome guitar sound that no one seems to manage to recreate - I bet you could, but I don't know if it's your jam !
The Decade is similar to the RAGE by Peavey which I own and I always noticed that certain dissonance and diming the amp on lead parts matched up with SFTD album. I hear it in God is in the Radio like you said and on the dissonant fills of Song for the Dead, and possibly some parts of the lead on Millionaire.
There was a magazine article from the TCV era displayed on the old Dunlop site. I wish I had saved it back in the day. IIRC, Josh's tech and Alain Johannes were talking about their preference for amp drive and using pedals as gain stages, supporting the amp instead of being the main source of overdrive (as shown on the SD-1 video). After all, an overdrive, fuzz or boost pedal can never replace a good preamp, except if that pedal is made like a true preamp but it's still an uncommon sight in the industry (think Kingsley, Tubesteader or Correct Sound Custom). (BTW, if anyone can recommend a good Model T tube preamp pedal since Correct Sound Custom seem out of the market currently...) It's a very old school approach, come to think of it, but it's eye opening when put into practice for a lot of holy grail guitar tones.

That Peavey Decade toy blew up on Reverb because of the hype around this
I wouldn't spend silly money on a Decade (especially when you can still pick up the better models in that line up (additional control, bigger/better speakers etc and the same preamp) for "yard sale" money) but those old Peavey amps do have great sounds in them if you're willing to sit and dial them in. Rancho De La Luna has basically every model from that series (including the decade) in their studio stash too. I picked up a Backstage Plus (decade with a 12 inch driver, reverb and "saturation" control) and it's killer. I'm using it as the "wet" in a wet/dry stereo rig just now, it's a nice contrast to my gain-y Marshalls, holds together well getting hit with some pretty extreme delay/verb n mod.
Thank you, Eirik. Seriously.

I saw Queens in a very small club on the Rated R tour. It was poorly attended so I could see his board. He had the vintage Superfuzz and used 2 V4Bs with Bass cabs. He had the cabs sorta facing each other in a V with a microphone placed in between the cabs. No guitar amp at all. He also used one GP the whole set in the neck position. I was paying close attention. I remember an interview around the time of EV where he stated he's only used the neck position on every album he's made. So take that for what it's worth. He also had the SD-1 and the Boss EQ at the club show so maybe that compensated for the bass heavy rig. Of course he had other pedals too but those are the ones I feel are relevant. These small Rated R shows happened in between Ozzfest dates so maybe he was using less at the clubs than the shows.

Actually the VT-22 was Josh's main amp for the studio and he still uses it live. It's just been recovered in Bronco Red. One thing to remember about the Ampeg bass amps is The Rolling Stones actually used SVTs plugged straight in for their 1969 tour. They were the only amps loud enough for the bigger places they were playing. They continued to use Ampegs,( probably V4s) on bass cabs until after 1978 when they added Boogies to the sound.
About the tuning... Josh himself told in an interview (MAYBE on FF Sonic Highways...) that in the Kyuss era they used to tune VERY low at gigs - and just by ear, so it might have been even A, or lower...
I recently gave my Peavey Audition (not the 'desirable' one, but a slightly later model) to a coworker in an ongoing attempt to gain space at home. Of all the tiny amps I had this is the one I'd regret setting free if I allowed myself to. Throw a mic in front of it and 'sky's the limit'. If you like it then it sounds good, you don't need permission.

It's not necessary a red herring, quite likely not being used in the way people tend to think things are recorded. Looking at the amps & mics set up for SFTD, there's going to be a lot of blending of all that and channel strips on the consoles in any good studio will be very powerful and will be used. There's little point up something to not use it at all as that's a channel that can used for something else. Small speakers are popular in studios because of the frequency response and how it sits in the mix or for being to increase the upper end of the frequency response of the guitar by blending them with bigger speakers, the latter is most likely how its used by Josh Homme.
