Ten Years is a Decade

The Ten Years (Is A Decade) pedal is a custom-built drive unit created by Jason Moser for the artist St. Vincent. It is a stompbox adaptation of the preamp circuit found in the vintage Peavey Decade amplifier. The pedal’s name is a playful reference to its circuit source. Its control set includes a two-knob configuration, typically labeled "Pre" and "Post", to manage gain and output volume, along with a Normal/Saturation switch for selecting different clipping styles. A three-band equalization section, typically Low, Mid, and High, is provided for detailed tone shaping.
