| Sounds like a...... |
| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| The head seems to be made well. It is very heavy and seems to have a great build. The transformers are large and that says something. If I know Peavey its made to last and its made here in the U.S.A. With a great warranty. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| Only owned it for a few days so time will tell. Im sure its road worthy, its a Peavey man. |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I have been playing for 25 years. Ive owned a little of every thing out there. As of now I own a Mesa Triple Rectifier and I truly like this amp better then my Mesa and it cost much less. I have fell in love so much with this amp that I own two of them. I run them into two EVH 2x12's and I plan on buying two more EVH 2x12s in the near future. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| Im not happy with the distortion right of the head, but im never happy with any amp in that way. I push it with with a fuzz box and The tone is just about every thing ive lusted after and its quite. This is the amp that ends all amp for me. Its loose, punchy has a lot of low end, but not boomy. It goes from a dark midrange type sound(think slayer)to bright to deep. I can get Mustaines live tone almost perfect and get other tones also. I don't play clean, cleans, it does not do cleans that well but its works great for a break-up type clean. This amp sounds a lot like a JCM800 and to me it blows most marshals away. Think a hot rodded marshall 800 and Its not fizzy in anyway even with the ruby tubes thats in it. If you like the tone of a marshall JCM800 but don't want to buy a vintage one and in most cases have to change the caps and output transformers then you need this amp. Its new, road worthy has a great warranty and it sounds like an 800 and its made in the U.S.A buy it! H#ll Buy 2. |

| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Quality seems improved compared to Peavey amps I've owned in the past, but I still see room for improvement. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| This is a brand new product, so reliability remains to be seen. I've had had some issues with Peavey amps in the past, so I'm a bit skeptical. But this amp seems well made. |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I was pretty impressed with this amp. Normally, I'm not a big fan of Peavey, but this amp sounds great! It sounds like a Marshall and costs considerably less. I don't think you can go wrong for the price. |
