From the interview "So, for the longest time, Queens of the Stone Age were very secretive about their guitar tone. It's a bitching guitar tone, right? But the secret was this Peavey Decade—the amp that you get as a kid, that probably comes in the box with your first guitar. It's this little, little amp that sounds so good, this hidden gem. They used to be $200. But then Josh Homme was on a Mark Ronson show, and finally was like, "Okay, I'll tell you. It's the Peavey Decade." Now they're like $3,000, instantly. Anyway, a guitar tech I work with, Jason Moser, builds pedals and synths. He built the Peavey Decade into its own little pedal.Use the edit icon to pin, add or delete clips."
