Peavey’s new Renown™ embodies totally new innovations, as well as the experience gained over the past fifteen years. Music has seen amps go from small single units to large stacks and now back to smaller amps again. Many musicians today are desperately seeking a good small amp. The new Peavey Renown™ is quite a departure from previous solid-state amps and represents what we feel is a dramatic increase in performance over units previously available. This versatile new amplifier features totally new circuitry throughout. Careful attention has been paid to even the most subtle factors influencing tonal texture, overload dynamics, sustaining characteristics and interaction of the preamp, power amp stage/loudspeaker combination. The thousands of hours we have spent giving this attention to the many and various ingredients and "seemingly insignificant" details makes the difference between a superlative and exceptional amplifier and one that is merely good. The Renown™ incorporates the features needed to reproduce the complex tonalities and dynamics necessary for today’s guitarists. Our intensive Research and Developmen: program has recently yielded several significant and. we feel, pivotal breakthroughs in amplification of the electric guitar. For many years, both guitarists and instrument amp manufacturers have diligently sought to reproduce the warm, "saturating" characteristic of vacuum tubes with solid-state equipment. Our innovative new Renown*" features a new effect that we call "SATURATION"\M which produces the kind of gain compression/expansion that has previously been obtainable dynamic characteristics, harmonic texture, and compression/expansion so eagerly sought after by contemporary musicians To complement the sophisticated circuitry of this dual channel amplifier, we have included the latest generation of tonal networks in each channel. The lead channel contains a three-band passive network and an active presence control. The unique presence control is located at the proper point in the circuitry toallow incremental control over the extreme highs....even when playing in the distortion mode. The normal channel utilizes active type high and low equalization and our unique Paramid™ control for the vitalmidrange frequencies. Our Paramid™ circuit enables true boost cr cut capability in the midrange, as well as enabling shifting the center frequency over an extremely wide range. The combination of input dynamics, Saturation™ effect, and extremely effective equalization circuitry enables the Renown™ to quite literally simulate almost any guitar sound available from any amp, old or new. Each channel also features its own pre and post gain controls in conjunction with our unique Automix™ switching circuitry. In addition to the above, a full range reverb has been included utilizing a current source drive circuit for optimized dampina and maximum performance from the reverb delay line. The Renown's™ rugged power amplifier is capable of delivering more than 160W RMS and all of its operating parameters, circuitry and components have been carefully matched and designed in conjunction with its internal 12" SCORPION™ speakers. We have utilized the total system approach for precisely matching and balancing each component even down to the internal tooling for the loudspeaker cone itself in order to achieve the exact and vital interplay so necessary in achieving the level of performance produced by this unit. The ruggedly constructed %*' cabinet is covered with a tough 34 oz. vinyl which has proven to be unmatched for roadability and durability. FRONT PANEL INPUTS (A) (B) The new Renown™ has been provided with two input jacks, each having different sensitivities and a unique arrangement allowing the gain of both jacks to be equalized when instruments are plugged into both jacks. The high gain jack (A) is the input normally used and has considerably more sensitivity and input impedance than the low gain jack (B). This low gain jack has been included to allow extension of the input dynamic range. If the output signal from your instrument is prematurely overloading (distorting) the high gain input, then the low gain input (-6 dB) should be used. LEAD CHANNEL__ GAIN BLOCK™ The lead channel of the Renown™ has been designed utilizing our new "GAIN BLOCK™” signal processing front end. The provision of three interacting controls allows total control of the amp’s gain structure (dynamics), harmonic content, overload texture, and output level. Each of the three control functions must be understood, and adequate experimentation time must be spent in order to fully utilize the potential of this unique and innovative new amp. PRE GAIN/PULL BRIGHT CONTROL (C) Our lead channel pre gain control is similar to a conventional volume control in that it is the first level setting device in the system. Our input preamp circuitry utilizes variable negative feedback with the pre gain control as part of the active circuit. Utilizat...
