ENGLISH
Peavey® Invective® MH
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Invective MH tube guitar amplifier from Peavey! Although small, this amp has an alltube preamp and power amp to authentically produce the much loved tones of the Invective 120-- albeit at lower power levels. The
major advantage is the sheer size and weight (or lack thereof).
Before you begin playing through your amplifier, it is very important to ensure that the product has the proper AC line voltage
supplied. This is shown on the voltage selector switch near the IEC inlet on the rear panel of the unit. Refer to the rear panel diagram
in this manual to locate the particular feature next to its number.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your amplifier. A careful reading of this manual
will also ensure you get the best out of your amplifier, by fully understanding its many features.
FEATURES:
• 2x EL84 power tubes and 3x 12AX7/ECC83 preamp tubes
• Clean Channel with Low and High EQ.
• Lead Channel with 3 band EQ.
• Footswitchable Tight on Lead channel.
• Footswitchable Gate and Boost on Lead Channel.
• Footswitchable buffered effects Loop
• Tube Status Indication (T.S.I.) circuit
• Impedance switch for 16 or 8 ohm cabinets
• MSDI™ Output with XLR and ground lift switch
• USB Output
• Speaker defeat switch
• Headphone output
• Attenuator switch for 20 watts, 5 watts or 1 watt output power
• Master Resonance and Presence.
VENTILATION: For proper ventilation, allow 24" clearance from the nearest combustible surface.
All vents should have a minimum of 2" of free air space so air can flow thru the unit freely for proper cooling.

Standard 1/4” jack for connection to the output of your guitar or last pedal if using effects before the amp.

Clean Channel Gain and EQ controls
Volume control for Clean channel and passive tone controls that regulate the low (bass) and high (treble)
frequencies of the clean channel’s tone.
3
CHANNEL SWITCH
Allows selection of the two different channels. The“IN”position of the switch selects the ‘LEAD’ channel and
the“OUT”position selects the ‘Clean’ channel.
NOTE: Channel selection may also be achieved by using the included footswitch.
If remote selection is desired, the CHANNEL switch (#2) must be set to the“IN” position.
GATE SWITCH
4
This activates the footswitchable preset input gate function when engaged. Rather than being a simple noise
gate, the intention is that this be used in conjunction with the Lead BOOST (6) to achieve a more “precise”
muting characteristic in the highest gain modes while controlling all of that insane tube gain. The combination
of this switch setting and the BOOST (6) switch setting will determine what the BST+GATE (26) footswitch
jack will toggle on/off when the footswitch is connected. Whichever switches are pushed “in” will also be
controllable via the footswitch with a single push of the button.
5
TIGHT Switch
This activates the footswitchable TIGHT function when engaged. The TIGHT function reduces the gain and
alters the EQ of the Lead channel to provide a quasi-third channel that mimics the CRUNCH channel on the
original Invective 120 head for a more articulate and full sounding high gain option than that of the full blown
onslaught of the Lead channel. This switch setting must be engaged for footswitch operation when connected
to the TIGHT footswitch jack (26).
6
BOOST Switch
This activates the footswitchable preset input boost function when engaged. Like the Invective 120 head, this
Lead Boost is similar to Misha’s favorite TS style boost but at a given setting to save front panel space. The
combination of this switch setting and the GATE (4) switch setting will determine what the BST+GATE (26)
footswitch jack will toggle on or off when the footswitch is connected as described earlier.
7
LEAD PRE-GAIN
This controls the input volume level of the LEAD CHANNEL and, therefore, the amount of gain and overdrive.
LOW, MID & HIGH EQ controls
8
These are passive tone controls that regulate the low (bass), mid and high (treble) frequencies of the tone of the
Lead channel.
