Overview

An affordable starter pack with guitar, amp, gig bag, and more!

The Raptor Backstage II Pack now includes the Total Musician Series instructional DVD that's designed to get beginners playing quickly. Everything needed to start playing is included; Raptor Plus EX guitar, Transtube Backstage amp, tuner, strap, extra strings, cable and picks.

Perfect for beginners, the Raptor Plus guitar sets an unprecedented standard in quality and innovation with technological features never seen before on a guitar in this price range. It features full-size 25-1/2" scale solidbody construction with new styling for better ergonomics and balance. The new dual-expanding truss rod has a wrenchless, easy access adjustment wheel while the wide top polepiece single-coil pickups provide a bigger string window with more vibrational focus.

The Backstage Amp emulates the sound, high output, warmth and "push back" of tube amplifiers and includes features such as high- and low-EQ controls, a 6" heavy-duty speaker, switchable TransTube overdrive, a tape/CD input for jamming along to your favorite songs and a headphone input for doing so quietly. Guitar Player reviewer Barry Cleveland raves about the tone and value of the Backstage in his March 2004 hands-on product review. "This is easily one of the best-sounding mini amps I've ever heard," he writes. "It delivers a great assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic response, all in a pint-sized package and for a very modest price."The key is Peavey's exclusive TransTube technology, which emulates the sound of tube amplifiers without the hassle or cost of dealing with unpredictable tubes. The TransTube preamp tailors the gain level for any amount of drive, from clean to crunch to scream, using a patented approach to emulating 12AX7 tubes and their ability to create even, harmonic distortion. It also mimics the "push back" response of real tube circuitry, which is essential to emulating tube dynamics, distortion and chime.

Includes nylon gig bag.
