Quick Start
In an effort to make using our products easier to use, we have included this Quick Start section for all of you
who just hate to read manuals (and those of you that dont need to read manuals). We hope this makes using
your new Peavey equipment a more enjoyable experience. As always, we appreciate any comments you
on how to im prove our prod ucts. (Hey, well even listen to com ments about the manual!)
To ge t s tart ed quic kly
Well, the first thing you need to do (after opening the box and removing the Tube is to connect
the Tube Fex to your system configuration. Here are some things to check first:
Make sure your am plification system is turned off.

Plug your guitar into the jack (theres one on the front and rear of the Tube Fex, so pick
the one that is most convenient).
For mono operation, connect the Left / Mono audio output of the Tube Fex into the audio input of your
guitar am plifier or mono power am p. For stereo operation, connect the Left / Mono and Right au dio
outputs of the Tube Fex into the left and right audio inputs of your power amp or into two individual
guitar amplifiers.
Plug the Tube Fex into an electrical outlet and turn on.
Turn on your am plification system.

Introduction
(obligatory
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Peavey Tube The Tube Fex is a MIDI programmable
d ual tube guitar pream p with digital stereo effects processing in a one-rack-space unit.
The Tube Fex is two different signal processors in one unit. First, it is a dual-tube guitar preamp that delivers
fat tone, crisp, clean settings, and thick distortions with a fully programmable, highly user-friendly interface.
In fact, it is probably the most user-friendly MIDI-programmable tube preamp in the industry today. The gain
and tone knobs are actually data encoders. Each is surrounded by eleven, easy-to-see that indicate each
knobs setting. As each new program is called u p, different around each knob light u p, indicating the
settings for the new program. You can change gain and tone settings by turning individ ual data encoders
knobs, and when you find the setting you like, sim ply press the store button and the changes will be saved
to the program.
The Tube Fex has 37 effects types available, including eight reverbs, three delays, chorus, flange, exciter, coil
tap, auto pan, noise gate, stereo splitter, dual pitch shifters, tube and digital distortions, hum filter, envelope
filter, stereo tremolo, compression, selectable front panel tone controls, four internal speaker simulator,
and loop. Effects algorithms are com pletely user-definable and true-stereo effects chains can be written.
The tube pream p can be placed anywhere in the effects chain. Even the digital distortion can be used
sim ultaneously with the tube distortion to create unique stereo effects.
The Tube Fex features mono inp uts and mono / stereo outp uts.
Up to seven sim ultaneous effects

Chapter 2, Ov ervi e w, provides an overview of the Tube Fex ranging from a list of the abbreviations to the
user interface. This chapter is a m ust, dont miss it.
Chapter Edi t i n g Pro gra m s , provides an overview of the effect structure, how to create a effects
chain, editing individ ual effects parameters, storing your program, and more. information thats not
too technical. You should probably check this out.
Chapter Us ing MIDI, shows you how to setu p the Tube Fex to allow for sending and of
data, how to load programs into new (and their original) locations, storing program via and more. You
should definitely read this chapter, if for no other reason to find out how to set the
channels, and how to load programs.
Chapter RAM Cartridg e , deals with saving your programs in and storing them to RAM cartridge
Useful only if you intend to store programs to cartridge.
Appendix A, is reference section for those who want more information the effects
than is provided in Chapter This chapter lists effect, its parameters , and the range for each parameter.
This section provides lots of information that the typical user probably doesnt need.
Appendix MIDI Im ple m e n tatio n , is chart that summarizes the MIDI support provided by the

Chapter 3 Editing Programs
Most of the time d uring performance, the Tube Fex will be in the mode. The play mode is accessed by
pressing the button. The Tube Fex also switches to play mode each time it responds to a MIDI program
change command (such as those sent by an optional foot controller). A typical display for play mode is shown
below:
As described in the quick start section, the first letter A in the display (with the flashing cursor under indicates
that the program being played is in program bank A. The nu mber following it is the program nu mber. The
name is the name of the preset which that program points to. The U indicates that this preset is stored in user
preset memory, and the nu mber is the nu mber of the preset.
On the bottom line of the display are the first five effects in the effect chain. (If the chain is longer than effects,
the others will not be shown. In this case, the chain is: Tube pream p is series with Noise Ga t e in series with
Pit c h 1 in parallel with Pit c h Shift 2 in series with Delay.
Note: Lower case letters indicate that the effect has been bypassed.
Any program from any bank can call u p any preset. In performance this is an extremely handy feature. To
change which preset is called by the program currently selected, press the arrow button so that the
cursor is flashing under the preset name. Use or A buttons to select the preset you desire to have
to this program. Changes are automatically stored, so this is all you have to do. Press the left arrow button
to select the program, switch to the next program, and set it u p by repeating the above steps.
a RAM cartridge is installed, programs in bank or B can be to point to presets stored

on the cartridge. If at a later time the cartridge is removed and this program is selected, the display will show:
The sound being played will not change. You should replace the cartridge, or select a new preset for this program.
A third program bank is available on the cartridge. When reprogram ming this bank, you m ust ensure
that the cartridge write protect is disabled; otherwise you will get the following message:
The program will not change. For more information on the cartridge see chapter 5.

Most effects parameters can varied d uring performance via MIDI control change These are
available from the optional foot controller. Each preset can have up to eight parameters that to these
changes. Most of the factor); presets are set u p with controllers assigned to them Set the
mode of the foot controller to control change. Select an active controller by pressing the buttons
on the foot controller corresponding to the effect to be controlled. Now using the or A buttons, you can
change the value of that parameter d uring performance.
The Tube Fex will respond to MIDI volume change messages (controller These changes are global. That
is, they affect the unit even after the program is changed. A CV pedal assigned to controller will act as a
MIDI volume pedal. You can reassign the volume to a different control if you wish. Volume can also
be controlled from the front panel, but this is not usually done d uring performance. See chapter 4.

Chapter 4 Using MIDI
There are four major functions that can be performed via MIDI on the Tube Fex: change Programs / Banks;
change effect parameters d uring performance via Continuous Controller messages; store presets on remote
storage devices via MIDI system exclusive messages; and remotely edit and store any user accessible
parameter using special Remote Editing messages. The Tube Fex can also be setu p to transmit MIDI
program change messages w hen a new program is selected from either the front panel or via MIDI.
MIDI messages are transmitted and received on one of sixteen different MIDI channels. The unit can be set
to transmit messages on any of these channels, and to respond to valid incoming messages on any one or
all sixteen channels. To change the channel the unit receives on, press the Global button until the MIDI menu
ap pears as below:
TP LP
The cursor is flashing under RC (Receive Channel). Use the or buttons to select MIDI channel l-1 6 or
will allow your unit to respond to valid MIDI com mands received on any channel.
To change the MIDI channel the unit transmits on, press the button. The cursor is now under
TC (Transmit Channel). Use the or buttons to select the desired MIDI transmit channel (one through sixteen).
To turn the transmit program change feature on or off, use the or left arrow buttons to position the
flashing cursor under TP (Transmit Program Change). Use the or A buttons to turn this feature ON or OFF.
When ON, Transmit Program change will send a MIDI Program Change message out on the transmit channel
each time the program is changed either from the front panel or via MIDI (inclu ding changes sent from an
optional MIDI foot controller).
The other functions on the MIDI menu are system exclusive functions and are described in the section titled
System Exclusive Remote Storage.
The Tube Fex will respond to valid Change and Bank received on the units

selected. There are two banks of 128 programs in the units memory, bank A and bank A third bank,
becomes available when the optional RAM cartridge is installed. Program banks can be changed on the front
panel by incrementing the program above 127 or below 0 w hile in play mode, or by sending a MIDI bank

The optional Cartridge acts as a memory extension for the storage of additional presets. Presets can
be accessed and played directly off the cartridge without the need to move into
internal user The 128 ad ditional programs ap pear as program bank C and can be set to point
to any preset in cartridge, user, or preset
Note: The RAM cartridge menus are accessed through the Global button.
RAM Cartridges are sold separately by your Peavey Dealer. Ask for the part
new, cartridges m ust be initialized for use with the Tube Fex. To d o this, press the Global until you
get to the CART menu. Place the cursor under In (Initialize), and press the button.
Presets may be stored individ ually to the cartridge by using the normal store proced ure, or all presets
may be saved on the cartridge by using the Save User Cart on the CART menu. This function also
writes program bank A into the program bank converting all pointers to user presets into pointers to
cartridge presets in the process.
Cartridge presets may be recalled individually from the cartridge to the edit buffer, or all presets may be loaded
to user preset memory by using the Load Cart User function on the CART menu. This function also writes
program bank C into program bank A, converting all pointers to cartridge presets into pointers to user presets
in the process.
Most cartridges have a replaceable backu p battery w hich maintains memory storage w hile the cartridge is
removed from the unit or the unit is turned off. The battery will last from two to five years depending on the
model. If the battery becomes low, the unit will warn you by periodically displaying the following screen:

Tutorials
Here are several of the most com mon functions performed with the Tube Fex in tutorial form.
Why edit a preset? we try to provide presets that kick a. . . uh, that is, are useful, sometimes it is necessary
to adjust parameter settings to achieve the soun d you are looking for. The easiest way to do that is to edit
an existing preset and store it to a user location (since the factory presets are read-only). Initially you may
notice that the factory presets and the user presets look identical-they are. They are also identical whenever
the Tube Fex is initialized. This is because the Tube Fex copies all the factory presets to the user preset
locations when initialized. So if you dont want to lose your presets, we suggest you save them via MIDI. The
MIDI Streamer, a MIDI Data Storage Processor, from Peavey is an excellent choice for doing this.
1. Press the button and use the and A buttons to select the preset you want to edit. The preset
name / number in this example is Abduc tion U 4.
2. Press the Edit button one time.
3. Position the cursor under the effect you want to edit. Use the and buttons to move the cursor.
4. Press the Edit button again.
5. Position the cursor un der the parameter you want change. the and arrow buttons to
move the cursor.
6. Change the value using the and A buttons. (Go ahead, experiment!)
7. Repeat steps 3 through until all changes are made.
8. Now its time to store the changes you made (you dont want lose your changes, do you?).
9. Press the S t ore button.
10. From this display it is possible to change the name of the preset and set the storage location.
11. To change the name: Press the arrow button until the cursor is under the first character of the name,
then use the and A buttons to change the character.
12. To change the storage location: Press the left arrow button until the cursor is under the storage location,
then use the and A buttons to select the new user storage location.
13. Thats it! You have just successfully edited and stored a preset. Congratulations!

a rising inp ut. If sensitivity is negative, then frequency decreases with a rising inp ut level.
The Fq (Frequency) parameter adjusts the starting point of the filter frequency. is
From there the filter will sweep up or down (depending on sensitivity) as the playing changes
frequency ranging from 2K to respectively. When the sensitivity is positive, the frequency

The Tube Fex has four stereo speaker sim ulation curves:
2x12 Open Sim ulates the frequency response of an open backed

2x12 Closed Sim ulates the frequency response of a closed backed
4 x 1 2 Cabine t Sim ulates the sound of four 12 speakers in a single cabinet.
4 x 1 2 British Sim ulates the frequency response of a well known British manufacturers guitar

A transverse filter ap proach is used to sim ulate stereo separation of a mono signal. The mono signal is fed
into a comb filter and the output and input is summed in the right channel and subtracted from the left channel.
The resulting output simulates stereo separation of frequency bands. Tune adjusts the distance between
separated frequency bands. There is a filter which, when on, will keep the bass centered between
the two channels. The Depth of the stereo separation is variable from 0 4 0 0%.

Su m: The Sum (Su m med Return Level) parameter turns ON and OFF an analog switch that su ms the
stereo returns with the analog outp ut from the digital effects.
The effect enables you to split the stereo signal into two separate chains, placing different effect
types on each chain. The signal following the splitter is MONO and only appears on one channel. Therefore,
note that the signal on the LEFT path (top line) only passes through the LEFT half of effects following the
splitter, and the signal on the RIGHT path (bottom line) only ap pears on the RIGHT channel of effects
following the splitter.
