I traded my way into one recently. I see them go on ebay for $200, I see 'em on Musicians Fiend for $250. I've seen good and bad reviews. I've seen youtube vids of this thing. It seems to get some decent Marshally tones, some nice sounding distortion. In terms of dollar value, I did good on the trade.
However... This thing is a one-trick-pony. I can't get a clean sound out of it to save my life. And I prefer to be dialed in to where the amp is just at the point of breakup, literally at the point where if I play lightly I get a clean tone, hard and I get a dirty tone. Even on my Vox amp modeling unit, my most used setting is a Marshall with the gain dialed down. So... This Peavey is useless to me. I suppose I could research and see if there's a way to mod some clean into this thing... Or I could just sell it... I'll probably sell it once I get back from the lake next week (some fish are gonna die!!!).
That said, Its a pretty cool sounding amp if you never need a clean tone, I just came up from the basement where I spent part of the morning banging out Cheap Trick, Jet, AC/DC, and Danzig riffs on my Epi LP Custom. I suppose I could keep it and get another head for my clean tones and use one of those fancy Radial Head Selector pedals.... Hmmm..... perhaps.....
Anybody else have one of these things? Played one? Like it? Hate it?
