Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Peavey Tube
Fex’“‘.
The Tube Fex is a MIDI programmable
dual
12AIY7
tube guitar preamp with
24-bit
digital stereo effects processing in a one-rack-space unit.
The Tube Fex is two different signal processors in one unit. First, it is a dual-tube guitar preamp that delivers
fat tone, crisp, clean settings, and thick distortions with a fully programmable, highly user-friendly interface.
In fact, it is probably the most user-friendly MIDI-programmable tube preamp in the industry today. The gain
and tone knobs are actually data encoders. Each is surrounded by eleven, easy-to-see
LEDs
that indicate each
knob’s setting. As each new program is called up, different
LEDs
around each knob light up, indicating the
settings for the new program. You can change gain and tone settings by turning individual data encoders
knobs, and when you find the setting you like, simply press the store button and the changes will be saved
to the program.
The Tube Fex has 37 effects types available, including eight reverbs, three delays, chorus, flange, exciter, coil
tap, auto pan, noise gate, stereo splitter, dual pitch shifters, tube and digital distortions, hum filter, envelope
filter, stereo tremolo, compression, selectable front panel tone controls, four internal EQs, speaker simulator,
and fx loop. Effects algorithms are completely user-definable and true-stereo effects chains can be written.
The tube preamp can be placed anywhere in the effects chain. Even the digital distortion can be used
simultaneously with the tube distortion to create unique stereo effects.
The Tube Fex features mono inputs and mono/stereo outputs.
