Description
Can an extremely successful amp like the original Invader be improved at all? The answer is: yes! Meet the Invader II. If you’re on the hunt for peerless tones and variety, the Invader II gives you a flexibility that is second to none. A whopping number of 16 (yes, 16!) sounds are the base from which you can discover new worlds of sound. You can also optionally use the Sound Wizard Module (SWM Z16) with the Invader II – a slot and connection port on the back of the amp are ready for this purpose.
Using the Z16’s 96 micro rocker switches, you can comprehensively tweak your tones at any gain setting… it’s a dream come true for all tone hunters! And if you’re wondering where the 16 ‘base’ sounds come from: there’s four channels, each with low and high gain modes (for a total of eight sounds), plus the Sound switch, which alters your tone based on your channel and gain settings (and making for a total of 16!). All this is, of course, controllable via MIDI, and with a 3-band EQ per channel, noise gate and comprehensive connection options on-board, there’s nothing the Invader II can’t do!
