About Maven Peal

Maven Peal amplifiers are winners of the prestigious Guitar Player Editor's Pick and Exotica Awards. Click here to read the reviews.

Dave Zimmerman graduated from the University of Washington in 1994 with the highest honors and a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering. His master thesis involved designing an analog circuit using nonlinear analysis that mimickes the function of the retina in your eye. The circuit was designed to be tuned to work either like a carnivore's eye (motion detection) or an herbivore's eye (edge detection). Since then, Dave has successfully been applying nonlinear analysis to award winning eletronics and environmental software design.

With about 1,000 Maven Peal amplifiers in the field and studios, not one has ever experienced a power supply issue or failure. Since 1999, Maven Peal amps continue to prove they offer the most sophisticated, safest, feature packed and profitable guitar amplifier power supply available.

Dave took a break from making amps and recently came out with the new Howler distortion pedal. Offering Maven Peal's patented Sag Circuit, the Sag knob has been renamed to the "Peal" knob to help distinguish Maven Peal's technology. The Howler's break-through technology give all amplifiers, tube and transistor, the abillity to "Peal" like never before.

Now more and more guitarists are seeking amps and pedals sporting "Wattage" and "Sag" knobs (or something claiming to be similar). Only Maven Peal gives you patented, field-tested control over Wattage and Sag control.
