As great as that amp is, it may be too much of a good thing as most players these days don’t need 120 watts of output power and prefer smaller, lighter amps that are easier to haul to gigs. Fortunately, Peavey and Mansoor have collaborated on a sequel of sorts — the invective MH, with the MH standing for “mini head.” About half the size and one third the weight of the invective.120, the Peavey invective MH also delivers 100 watts less of output power and cuts more than $1,000 from the price, while retaining most of the bigger invective’s innovative features and awesome tones.
FEATURES The Peavey invective MH may be housed in a mini head configuration, but it’s packed with more features than many full-size heads can boast. At its core, the invective MH is a 20-watt, two-channel amp driven by a pair of EL84 power output tubes (compared to the stock four 6L6 tubes in the mighty invective.120) and three 12AX7 preamp tubes (compared to six in the 120). The Clean channel provides Gain, Low and High controls, while the Lead channel offers Pre Gain, Low, Mid, High and Post Gain controls plus switches for Gate, Tight and Boost functions.
