I've quickly become a huge fan of your channel. I love the fact that you just play through the amps for a good amount of time without any mastering or just a song demo. plus I'm a sucker for thrash riffs. Keep it up!

Hell yes. Got one yesterday and it’s amazing straight out of the box. You were a huge influence in my decision. Thanks mate!!!

Peavey always delivers these sort of things and at an affordable package

I use the invective MH and play shows with it. Have to crank it to max volume but ive had no issues with it not being enough. I play in a deathcore band and it works just fine for me.

This sounds much better than the 6505mh in my opinion. Sounds great!

Sounds really good + that Explorer... oh boy I want one!

It sounds great from here. I just got an Orange Micro Terror 20. It is soooo simple yet can power a 4x12 with lots of headroom and tone for 150 new. Not sure how much this Invective is but it is a great brand and has some killer metal features too. Needless to say.....The amps today are waaay better than what we were jamming on as kids. My first amp was a Gorilla 10 watt with an 8" speaker. I now have a Line 6 240 HD mkii. Small and portable yet quite powerful for any application. My dream amp is an ENGL Fireball 50 so naturally I am very curious to maybe hear your opinion on their 20 watt head that they sell for 1300 bucks. jeez... Now you see why I have a modeler.... Ouch. :)

If anyones looking to buy one today GC does have them in stock, thats one of the few places I can find that consistently has them

I Love this amp over my 6505+ 112 but i use the cabinet of that said 112 for the invective mh! Also a peavey tnt 115s to fill the bottom end and space!

I'm surprised how close it sounds to the invective 120 given completely different tubes and power section. Really captures that spirit well. Played my invective 120 side by side with a mesa dual rec and was able to get into mesa territory fairly easy. Imho Peavey slayed it with the invective.

I have multiple videos on the MT15 up already my man

I met John Fields at the Namm show 15 years ago, AWESOME guy, we talked for like an hour at their booth! Honestly, I love Peavey amps, they are like what you want Mesa Boogie to be, but never are. It takes like 10 seconds to dial in a Peavey, instead of 20 years like with Mesa :D Lately I've been hoping Peavey would maybe do what ENGL and PRS are doing now, which is putting full size 6L6/EL84 tubes in their lunchbox amps. I seriously think that MOST people are buying 15-50w amps, and while the micro EL84 amps are awesome, they don't typically have the "oomph" of the bigger bottle bros. Peavey, give us a 6505, 3120, Invective 25/50 like the ENGL Fireball 25. Also, lets be honest, EVERY modern amp should have a TS style boost built-in.

Need a comparison of this vs LBX stealth

I need some community suggestion, I’m planning to buy the Invective but I don’t know what to get, the 120 or mh, I don’t need 120 watts of power but I like all the features that comes with it, and my ears favours 6L6 over EL84 but the mh is so affordable and all I need really is 20 watts, 50 the most, anything past that it would be just too loud.

Its got that hollow mid snarl that evh amps have as well. You either love it or don't care for it. After comparing with the mini mesa- mesa wins for overall fullness in tone and sounds like an actual amp. Distortion quality is less cheap sounding (like a distortion pedal)plus way way less amp noise. Imo anyways tone is always in the ear of the beholder.

That amp doesn't need any overdrive into the front end. I prefer mine with a 12AT7 instead of a 12AX7 into the V2 socket. It sounds much tighter to my ears, but I have to push the gain to 2 o'clock or so.

This amp absolutely sucks, it's fizzy and congested and lacks low end past 4/10 on the master volume, the low end just seems to vanish when you turn it up. And good luck having and chord definition with this thing all the fizz will mask your notes into a washy mesh, even if you dial down the presence and gain.
