Peavey Joshua Homme Decade Too: QOTSA frontman drops new retro '80s video!
Unleash iconic tone. The new Peavey Decade Too amp, co-designed with Josh Homme, delivers powerful sound and legendary versatility.
Peavey Joshua Homme Decade Too pre-orders are open now. In collaboration with renowned guitarist Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, Peavey Electronics has unveiled the highly anticipated Joshua Homme Decade Too guitar amplifier. This reimagined version of the legendary vintage Decade practice amp, famously favored by Homme, promises powerful tones and unprecedented versatility for players of all levels.
UPDATE
New retro '80s-style Josh Homme video dropped today for the Peavey Decade
Peavey's 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.
Peavey Joshua Homme Decade Too
Three years ago, Homme's revelation of his secret weapon to producer Mark Ronson – the vintage Peavey Decade – sent shockwaves through the music world, driving up prices on the used market and igniting a fervent demand for its return.
Peavey has answered the call, meticulously recreating the iconic amp while incorporating modern enhancements.
It is also a lot more affordable than the boutique, and very tasty, Troy Van Leeuwen GMI 33F6 amp head. Pre-orders are now open with some Peavey dealers expecting stock any day soon.

A Modern Take on a Classic
The Decade Too, weighing only 12 lbs., boasts 10 watts of solid-state power channeled through an 8” speaker, delivering surprising volume and sonic punch.
The front panel features a single input preamp incorporating the original Decade circuitry with key refinements. The GAIN section now includes PRE and POST controls, offering greater tonal flexibility.
Peavey Saturation
The signature Peavey Saturation, now foot-switchable, provides tube-like sustain and overdrive at low volumes, ideal for bedroom practice, recording studios, and anywhere else inspiration strikes.
Enhanced bass and treble controls and new BASS and TOP enhancement switches designed by Homme expand the tonal palette.
The rear panel further distinguishes the Decade Too, featuring a TRS jack for remote switching of Saturation and effects loop defeat.
Balanced XLR Recording Out
A balanced XLR output with level control and ground lift facilitates direct recording, while a PREAMP OUT jack and phase switch provide additional power and acoustic feedback control. Two parallel ¼” speaker outs allow connection to an 8-ohm extension cabinet, expanding the amp's sonic potential.
The Decade Too Extension Cabinet
Completing the package is the Peavey Decade Too Extension Cabinet.
Housed in a stylish chrome stand, this 8” speaker cabinet offers exceptional portability and versatility. The tilt-swivel design ensures optimal sound projection and monitoring.
At the same time, the ability to stand the cabinet independently or stack it atop the amp provides maximum flexibility in various playing environments.

Guitar Bomb Verdict
This latest release from Peavey will be popular with guitarists and studio engineers, especially if they are fans of QOTSA and Homme's guitar and bass tones on record. The price is much less than the inflated/hyped prices of used as examples, and it should have zero issues with buzzing and the joys of old used practice amps.
