Peavey CENTURY is a versatile amplifier designed for a wide range of musical applications. It features a 120 power module that delivers 100 Watts RMS at 5% THD, making it suitable for both studio and live performances. The preamp section includes a full complement of tone controls, including treble, bass, middle, and distortion.

The input jacks are arranged in a unique circuit that allows a wide range of input levels to be handled by the amplifier. The gain control serves to control the gain of the preamp, while the master gain control is useful for obtaining overdrive and sustain at low sound levels. The distortion control provides a "natural distortion" effect that can be blended into the straight signal.
