Not many amps in this price range better. Best to get casters on it, it is heavy

Sounds Awesome, & Loud! Clean tone great, classic crunch & lead tone great! nice warm Total Rock /Country Blues /Rockabilly/Jazz/Whatever Tone Machine Rock. Would replace it again, way better deal than similar priced fender,vox,marshall,etc. The blue marvel speakers are great too, very clean tone,maybe not as good breakup as celestion vintages, but I may put 2 in mine & leave 2 blue marvels in for a tone mod. i am using tung-sol & electro-harmonix 12ax7's pre-amp tubes in positions 1 & 2 w/ good results in the tone & gain structure. It has a built in fan for the tubes which is nice too to extend reliability & tube life,also padding the tips of the tubes join in the cage, very nice feature.The fans fairly quiet, you can hear it @ idle, but it can be disconnected for recording if you want.normal & bright inputs 2-channel, foot-switch for channel & reverb/effect.this amp is a killer deal, play one, highly recommended, sleeper(other amp killer for the $).

Feel's great, very connected emotional tone, it breathes & drips & leaves you searching for more!
Tone

Smooth & mellow clean & loud & proud nice chunky O.D., work great w pedals in the inputs & through the effects loop.
Finish

It looks fast sitting still with awesome tweed covering!

Besides changing tubes, I never had to do anything to this amp.

I don't write many reviews, but I just have to say, this is the best amp for country/roots music that Peavey has ever built. I think that it is better than a lot of boutique amplifiers out there.
