Description
Peavey brings the soul of its classic Session 400 amp to a new generation with the Peavey Session-LTD 400 preamp pedal, part of the all-new Legacy Preamp Series. Originally introduced in the early '70s, the Session 400 became a studio and stage favorite—particularly among pedal steel and clean tone aficionados—thanks to its pristine clarity and muscular low end. This pedal captures that same hi-fi warmth and full-range response in a compact, road-ready format. Designed to preserve every nuance of playing, it delivers rich headroom, responsive EQ and a musical top end that flatters everything from single-coil twang to dynamic humbuckers and complex pedal steel voicings.
Authentic Vintage Circuitry, Modern Pedal Format
The Session-LTD 400 preamp pedal faithfully replicates the original preamp section from Peavey's revered 1974 Session 400 amp, using an internal 25V supply to ensure the clean headroom and low-noise operation that defined the original. With its robust internal voltage, this pedal handles dynamic signals effortlessly while maintaining tonal integrity at every level. Whether 're after glassy Nashville cleans, wide-open jazz textures or simply a stellar clean foundation for pedalboard, this preamp nails it. Peavey's analog circuitry ensures that what put in is exactly what get out—only bigger, bolder and clearer.
Musical EQ and Flexible Tone Shaping
Just like its amp counterpart, the Session-LTD 400 pedal features a finely tuned three-band EQ with a mid-shift control that gives precise command over the critical midrange frequencies. The low, mid and high bands offer musical shaping with a studio-quality feel, while the presence knob lets dial in just the right amount of sparkle or sheen. This intuitive lat makes it easy to tailor tone to different guitars, amps or playing styles. Whether 're scooping for shimmer or pushing mids for punch, the Session-LTD 400's EQ section responds with nuance and authority.
Built for the Rigors of the Road
Ruggedly built with a die-cast metal enclosure, the Session-LTD 400 preamp pedal is designed to handle the demands of the modern gigging musician. It features high-quality jacks, pots and switches, and a fiberglass PCB with plated-through holes and 2 oz copper for durability and signal integrity. The true hard bypass switch includes an anti-click circuit for quiet transitions, ensuring that rig stays noise-free on stage and in the studio. The pedal operates on a standard 9V DC power supply and draws less than 100mA, making it easily compatible with most pedalboard power setups.
A Studio-Grade Peavey Preamp Pedal for Tone Purists
More than just a nod to Peavey's past, the Session-LTD 400 pedal offers unmatched sonic clarity and versatility for players who demand precision in their tone. It's an exceptional choice for pedal steel players, jazz guitarists or anyone chasing full-range clean tones with enough warmth and articulation to stand out in any mix. Its hi-fi response and EQ control also make it an ideal front-end preamp for DI recording setups, amp modeling rigs or studio environments. Wherever music takes , this pedal gives tone a clear, powerful voice.
Vintage Clarity, Modern Versatility—Pure Peavey
For players seeking that clean, articulate Peavey sound that's helped define modern music for over six decades, the Peavey Session-LTD 400 preamp pedal is a faithful tribute. It delivers the rich tonal foundation of the original Session 400 amp, now reimagined in a pedal that fits in the palm of hand. Whether 're chasing lush clean tones for steel guitar, jazz country or funk—or just want a pristine platform for pedal chain—the Session-LTD 400 gives classic tone with 21st-century convenience. It's clean done right, from the brand that defined it.
