The Decade™ amp began as a practical, affordable practice tool, but its raw, harmonically rich drive soon became a secret weapon for tone seekers. Joshua Homme famously built his signature Queens of the Stone Age sound on it. The Decade Too™ revives that voice and makes it accessible again — without the hunt for vintage originals.
Joshua Homme’s Secret Weapon
Long before Queens of the Stone Age filled arenas, Joshua Homme was crafting a new desert-rock sound — and a small Peavey Decade™ amp was at the heart of it. That modest practice combo became his secret weapon, shaping the gritty, harmonically rich drive heard on award-winning albums and career-defining performances. With the Decade Too™, that same character and feel return, giving players direct access to the tone that helped power Homme’s unmistakable voice.
From Humble Practice Amp to Cult Classic
Launched in the 1980s as an affordable home amp, the Peavey Decade™ was never meant to be legendary — but its raw, harmonically rich voice caught the attention of players who wanted something different. Over time, its reputation grew quietly, transforming a modest practice combo into a sought-after cult favorite.
Tube-Like Sustain, Peavey Character
Flip the SATURATION™ switch and get the rich harmonic complexity and singing sustain that defined the Decade’s unmistakable voice.
Classic Speaker Character, Recreated
The Decade Too™ uses a specially voiced 8" Celestion to match the lively, mid-forward bite of the vintage Decade, so the sound stays true to its roots.
Dial In Your Own Decade
From subtle tweaks to dramatic shifts, Pre and Post Gain, 3-band EQ, and Bass/Top Boost switches let you sculpt the amp’s signature drive to fit your style.
