Trey Xavier playing a Misha Mansoor amp with an Ola Englund guitar on Glen Fricker's Channel. This is the Avengers of guitar videos.
Is it wrong that the Avengers theme just played in my head after I read that?

Yes your head is about to be de-monetized and there will be a strike against it. You have been warned :)
Hahahaha
@@vaughanmacegan4012 Bugger. Oh well, was bound to happen sooner or later XD
That’s fucking funny
You look great in blue!
I use this to power my Spider IV 75. Killer tones.
:(
Still a funny comment 4 years later
😂
Trey: Its like a 5150, but not exactly like a 5150
Glenn: Okay
Trey: Its like, different
Glenn: Okay
Trey: Like, almost the same, but not
Glenn: Yeah, okay
Trey: Its kind of different
Glenn: ...okay
I laughed myself stupid when you said "It has two boost controls..." And then I realized... that's brilliant!
I have a 5150 III and I still want one of these. I like how they gave the clean channel its own gain, volume and EQ. It allows you to dial in a really clean clean that sounds completely different from your dirty channels. The two assignable effects loops also bring a myriad of possibilities to the table.
Rudy told me to tell you're "Daddy material"
I bought the invective .212 cabinet. that thing has killer low end! would match the amp very well.
I should be getting the 4X12 this week! Looking forward to miking it up!
An Orange PPC212 or 412 sound amazing too!
I currently trying to debate if I should by the Invective 2x12 or an Orange 2x12 to go with my 50 watt EVH 5153.
Pitdog360 I’d always recommend getting a matching cab but either will sound great with that head. My Invective sounds awesome out of my matching 2x12 and Orange PPC212 so you can’t go wrong. The invective cab is a lot lighter than the Orange FWIW
@@xRiseAgainstx I actually have the matching EVH 4x12. I just want to get a 2x12 of a little different flavor.
That gate was a good move. Well done peavey!
A little late on this one Haha. We need an Invective MH demo
I Fucking love the Strata Recording dudes!!! It’s like Rush meets 80s Thrash/Hair Metal!!!!
Hey, thank you! We're big Rush fans for sure!
Strata Recording you guys kick serious ass!!
Cleansed_In_Pestilence _ thanks man!
Peavey needs to get a little more love in general from the music community. Their amps are unique, and every one I had was extra durable.
I second this for all the bass players. I mean, for the real ones, not the useless cunts.
My students get to play over a old TMax head with a TVX 410 cab, and I am rocking a Vb3 with a Tecamp L 810. Great amps, both of 'em.
The old stuff is reliable a.f., talking old bass- and guitar amps.
I think the reason Peavey doesn't get much love these days is because they moved the manufacturing to China, but kept the Made in USA price tag on the products. If people want amps made in China there's a lot of good alternatives that are much cheaper.
@@JanneOksanen and they've had serious qc problems ever since
I had a little Peavey Decade that I found in a burned down garage. Used it for years, it fell off cabinets, fell out of my window to the sidewalk once, and only finally died when I drunkenly ninja kicked it down a hill. Peavey has always been, at the least, the most durable stuff, and sounds great.
Only when they improve their QC. I’ve had two 6505+ amps that have been nothing but trouble, and I’d never try to tour with one.
Ooof mate i wana play thru that
That would be some pretty heavy smoke on the water!
Come on by
Sounds like it has a lot more growl (low-mids "overdrive") than 5150s/6505s. Probably because it has like four boosts in it, heh.
It's the opposite
Hey Glenn are you going to look at the micro head version? Thank you! Keep up the great work!
I actually didn’t knew that Peavey still makes stuff... neat! Remember they were the biggest brand mid 80s to mid 90s. 😃
The guy on the full mix demo sound kinda like Van Halen + Dimebag Darrell :O
And looks like Kirk Hammett...
Sounds pretty darn good.
Woaw, that gate is so smooth
Unpopular opinion, the clean sounded the best solo but in a mix the amp sounded great
Good to see Jackson Ward on this channel again.
It's always a blast to be on! - Jackson
This video came at the best time, I've been saving up for a Peavy 5150 for months. I might consider getting this one. It sounds good \m/
Grab this one! It has a shit tonne more bells and whistles and can give you a 5150 sound if you need it
@@MCYoshii trey has a shitty tone. Between this and the Orange micro dark video makes me question him now
I think that the best way to test the noise gate is to play a long sustained note and listen how smooth the gate closes
I agree on all points. Especially that it sounds best with post gains turned up. Would you be willing to compare it side by side with a 5150? With the Invective’s master boost on and its post gains at/above 3:00 I thought they sounded nearly identical at similar gain settings, though I had to tame the high end on the Invective a bit.
As a Peavey endorses artist that heavily relies on my 6505, I can say the invective destroys the 6505/5150
That's a nope from me but music is subjective. Rock on
Always liked Peavey. They have always had great gain channels comparative to the times and tech.
Bought one at gear fest last year. Took me a minute to get used to it, but now it is my daily driver.
Wish we could have got some more videos on this!
Great demo!
All amps need these upgrades. Holy cow
Hey Glenn, I have an amp-related question. I see a lot of videos out there talking about what to look for when buying an expensive tube head, and even more videos covering what to look for in small combo amps for beginners, but comparatively little advice in between those two extremes. What advice would you give to someone shopping around in the $500-$1000 price range? Are cheaper tube heads worth considering, or are higher end solid state amps the way to go? Or is it better to just save up some more and go for a more expensive tube head (also factoring in the cost of a cabinet)? Sorry if you've gone over this before, I only recently discovered your channel and have been binging your videos the last week or two. Keep up the good work!
I got a jet city 50 and a peavy cab. Ever since buying a cab I would never go back to a combo. Same with a tube amp. Worth the money.
Why not make the noise gate and overdrive parts modular? In my opinion it would've been cooler to have two 1/4 in jacks at different points in the amp for noise gates and ODs. That way you could throw in a nice noise gate and OD that you've already spent an arm and a leg for without having to worry about one more part of the amp failing later on down the line and would keep the price of the amp itself down. At least it would bring a different meaning to the term 'pedal platform'
I’m more interested in the new mini head version Invective at this point, hope you get to take that one for a spin!
Man that mix was insane
My boi trey just came from the left field in a glenn video never expected that
That Hammet look alike fucking rips it up, what a guy
Mark Bayfield haha thanks dude!
Glen.... you're a daddy material...
Are you doing another contest this summer?
Maybe. It probably wont' be covers, though.
S it is basically a 5150 with some added features. Sounds good in my book. The price looks pretty good too. Too bad this likely isn't made in the US anymore.
Was that Dimebag playing on the full mix example? It sounded enough like him.
that solo backing unleashed Trogdor!
Misha’s signature amp... and he only runs it as a power amp for an axe-fx 🤮
misha's signature plugin, except he doesn't use it
He mainly uses the Axe-FX for touring. For recording he uses the invective as well as analog pedals. Might use the Axe FX on occasion just for effects
Well, you see - as said in one of the interviews - he would like to use this amp fully on stage, but he just didn't figure out how. May be some time later his rig will totaly change to the analog stuff. May be.
Funny thing is, Jake uses it, but Misha doesn’t.
Couldn’t he put the axe-fx in the effects loop? That way he can use his amp for the main tone but still get all the ambient effects he normally uses. Pretty sure that’s how John petrucci does it or did at one time
I might be in the minority here, but I greatly prefer the 5150. I think the gate and the 1/2 power on the Invective are great, but to me it always sounds like an amp sim. If you're into the whole djent thing, it's killer, but alas I'm not. To me the 5150 seems a bit more organic I suppose. Just MY opinion.
Looks like a great move into the future from the 5150
The staging reminds me of the Randy Rhodes Marshal head he modified and they did a tribute in white.
Glenn is there a follow up video about that new laptop of yours? Is it good enough for audio production?
Yes, it’s wicked!
I would love to see you check out the cab and ab it with your coffee cab
Gosh if I could get that amp, the Mesa triaxis and the Roland Jazz chorus, I d have my 4 favorite amps of all time....already own the Randall thrasher, so three more to go
Glenn, try out some Hilfiger or Calvin Klein chinos with your metal shirts. Also, a brown leather jacket would work too. I'm an artist and can tell your colors are autumn: browns, tans, army green, dark navy, dark reds.
Do you think this is the future of amps? Having effects like a noise gate and overdrive built in, I mean. It'd be pretty crazy to start seeing people ditch their pedal boards because amps just start having the effects built into them.
My father refered to metal (and rock music in general) as "Jungle Music". He never owned a guitar, neither an amp.
But he was so greatfull to give me a part of the money I needed to buy me my first bass Amp. Or what ever they called this piece of crap back in the days. It was a F.A.L. Kestrel Bass Combo.
Lets say, it was at least an improvement in Volume, compared to the old tube radio l used before. Tonewise.... not so much....
That REVV 100P holding up the invective looked really cool.
Hey Glenn, how does promoting your patreon on your channel affect your channel traffic? Does the TH-cam algorithm see patreon and do something about it, such as lower your SEO? Thanks, and rock on!
Hey Glenn! My music teacher recently left and he left amazing gear for us and he let us practice after school and he really helped me progress in music production and now no one lets us practice because there is no member of staff. What should I do?
Drop guitar and learn the harmonica will set u apart from the other bands
did you ever tested the first version of the peavey triple xxx? to me seems a underrated amp and i am not understanding what's wrong on it. i have and i love that amp
I swear I saw this video yesterday by a different TH-camr. Still watched and liked Glenn.🤘
why were you being so nice to Trey!? it's creeping me out. btw, I too love that gate. I think it's becoming standard in gear nowadays ever since the Precision Drive.
no drama, they're friends. they usually tease each other when they're on camera together.
Fuck you Trent
Is that the "morph crossfade" in the new Adobe Premier?
I really need to update my CS5 :D
No. It’s “smooth cut” in DaVinci Resolve.
@@SpectreSoundStudios
Cool
@@ChristianIce IMO, it kills Premiere
@@SpectreSoundStudios
Thanks, man.
I'll look into it ;)
FINALLY someone made this amp sound good.
Every other demo on TH-cam of the invective is not very convincing
Hey Glenn!
The Invective MH just got launched and i am very interested if i could use it as a direct to FOH solution without a cab. As far as is understand it has a dummy box integrated. Since you already have the big one in your studio a comparison would kick ass! Thanks for your teachibgs Glenn Meister :D \m/
Maybe it was the mix but I thought it sounded a bit fizzy.
Hammet vibes from that guitarist. good shit, dude
The hair huh?
Love the amp tone, hated that snare! Can you re-amp the snare? Hahahaaaaa I enjoyed every thing else!
I love those Kiesel guitars. Not only do they sound awesome and look cool, but they look like 'play easy'...You guys know what I mean. I have never had the chance to really play one, do to being cursed with being left handed. I have played since I was 12..and I am now 38, so after 26 years of playing, I figure that it is too late to force myself to learn to play right handed. Although I really wish that I had. I forced myself to play drums right handed and it wasn't much of an issue. Although I am stronger with my left foot kicks. But I play drums fully right handed...no open handed playing.I really wish I had learned to play guitar right handed. I am reminded of this every time I visit a music store or play with new guys and they ask if I'd like to try their guitar. :-(
Sorry guys, I had to vent.
The Kiesels are awesome. They look, sound, and play like a dream.
ANOTHER John Souki appearance! Great demo fellas. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I don't know, I have one now from a trade and I can't justify it being at the price it is. Build quality is shoddy and doesn't feel robust like my old JSX, the cleans are still not Fender Reverb good, and the gain structure doesn't have the growl like a 5150/6505+ and sounds kinda artificial.
Southern California guy: "So cold, gotta layer up." Canadian guy: "So warm, shorts and t-shirt for me".
Gotta add I'm a Texas coast wimp here. I get cold in November and don't warm until it gets above 90, which should be any day now.
Sounds like a Soldano in the mix. Interesting.
Love gate feature Want mine so bad
You should defo do more comedy skits like the first time in a holly wood studio, and maybe a guide on what to do your first time in a studio
Glenn, Which is better the Peavey Invective 120 or the Revv Generator 120...???
Sweet review
Rev vs. Invective video when?
How do you like this amp compared to the original block letter?
hey, Glen! could you do a review on the Orange Crush 12?
Id love to see that and the Revv D20.
Hey Glenn! I’ve seen a marshall valvestate amp head in some of your older videos. Will you do a review on it? ‘Cause i’m interested!
Yes, it's on my list!
Glenn! I emailed you, need an address to send that amp head. wanted it to get there before you were in LA but never heard back
It might have got buried in the rush... please try again!
this amp is epic!
How does the invective compare to the Revv generator 120?
How does it compare to the old 5150... there's a used 5150 2 × 12s for sale.... thinking to adopt it and let it make friend with my old Mesa Boogie Mark IIB at home.
@Mendozer01 Ah.... pedigree.
@@AD1978leo they are trimming manufacturing cost. Same with the other brands... my take is always this... a rock n roll amp should be made and roll out from the land of rock n roll. Foreign manufacturers are not fluent in rock or metal so how can a foreign manufactured amp be righteous in the tonality and vibe of rock and metal? It may sound good for the first couple of weeks but that good shit from the amp has to hold up and not wear off. It's like I can't wait to fire up the Boogie after getting the thing all warm up and shit before flicking off the stand by switch and just hear it with a guitar strapped on. So I feel a used 5150 combo may command that anticipation. I don't wanna buy something that I won't crave for in a couple of weeks when the honeymoon period is over....
Anyone knows what is that cool riff that plays in the background at the beginning of the video?
How is invective sound similar to 6505 or 6505+
My father actually did have a Peavey 5150! haha
That B-roll was lit
Literally.
This or a Mesa 🤔
This guy is daddy material.
I clicked on this video faster than i ran for free head
Not sure how I feel about that comment.
@@SpectreSoundStudios dw glenn - it was positive , great video too ' fuck you 😊😊
You are daddy material Glenn
Does it look invected?
nice take on cowboys there
Nice amp!
Solar and peavey my dream
$1900 is alot for a Chinese made amp. I would be very curious to look inside at the quality of parts. My Peavey Windsor, granted radically cheaper, was full of the cheapest parts imaginable like tiny plastic shaft pots and tiny transformers. Cheap low temp, high tolerance electrical components will have the amp sounding different in different environmental conditions. Cheap electrical components have huge tolerances, esp over temp. You pay $4000 for a Soldano, but you get all military grade components with lifetime warranty, an incredibly overbuilt amp. Egnater amps sound good, are made in China, and have had horrid reliability issues. Durability matters. I would be very, very curious to assess the quality of components in this Chinese amp. My hunch is it's nowhere as robust as the original 5150s, which were based on the big dog, the SLO.
Hmmm, this or an EVH 5150 III Stealth 100w?
I got a Stealth 100 and it was my main amp. Then I plugged in my old 6505+ into a Mesa cab and remembered how awesome it sounds and sold the Stealth.
Yeah, I like my GM40. They all sound so similar anyway...
Awesome video! To me the amp sounds to screechy.
I dunno man. After hearing what tones that REVV can put out, the Invective just doesn't do it for me :'( The gate was nice though.
So basically, get a 6505? If it really came down to it you could throw in an overdrive pedal and a noise gate with the 6505 and it would still be a fair bit cheaper. Cool amp regardless
Glen you look like you've lost weight! Good on you bud!
EVH 50w?
