PEAVEY INVECTIVE MINI HEAD

The Misha Mansoor signature, in lunchbox form...

- Amit Sharma

If there’s anything Misha Mansoor is known for, it’s precision. The Periphery guitarist was at the very forefront of the tech-metal revolution – at the time commonly referred to as ‘djent’, a term which he himself helped coin – and stands today as one of the scene’s key figures. His 120-Watt Peavey Invective signature, introduced in 2018, was designed with the modern metal player in mind, but also proved itself more than capable of handling tones across the board. This mini-sized take on that head, however, feels just as impressive – perhaps even more so – repackaging a lot of the main features into a very small amount of space indeed.
