"What a beast!!!!!"

Feature:
The features are great. Selectable gains,footswitch ,reverb , presence, t drynamics, and resonance controls. Not to mention 2 effects loops and a jack for an external speaker. 2 inputs.

Quality:
The quality is amazing. Great constuction, great tone, great design. Amazing.

Value:
I was comparing this to the Marshall MG250dfx and this blows it away. That thing doesn't stand a chance to this. The tubelike tone overpowers the weak solid state crap tone of the MG. Save youself some money and get this amp.

Desirability:
If this was stolen i would buy another. I already own 2 of these and an extension cab for each.

Sound:
The sound on this beast is amazing. The clean can be bright or shallow, its good for acoustics and just general playing. It sounds great with a multi effects through the clean. The distortion is where this amp really shines. It has 3 different types of gains:high gain, modern gain and vintage gain. The high gain is for music like Metallica or Pantera. The modern gain is for more death metal type of music like Children of Bodom, with a great mid scoop and amazing gain. Vintage gain is for more things like Ozzy Osbourne or Guns n Roses.It is very loud and when the dynamics knob is turned up it sounds so much like tube.The 12" speaker is great. Great tone, great volume handling. I played in a metal band and my drummer is very loud and i can get over him at 3-4.

Ease of Use:
It is so easy to find your sound from this amp. The EQ is so sensitive, it makes it extremely easy to find a great tone that you desire.

Support:
Never had any problems.

Overall:
Amazing. Perfect. Great tone. Amazing value.

"Best Solidstate combo on the market"

Feature:
My only complaint about the features is, I wish the voicings on each channel were footswitchable.

Quality:
Peavey amps have proved to be indestructible over the years. I am getting ready to gig with this amp replacing my old "tube burner". Finally one piece of equipment I don't have to worry about on the road.

Value:
There really isn't much on the market in the $400 price range for amps that even compares. I would pick this over any tube amp under $900.

Desirability:
I am glad to see Peavey going back to the pointy logo. While I don't especially like the cabinet design compared to years gone by it does seem lighter than the old ones.

Sound:
Excellent sound with excellent options. The clean channel offers vintage and modern settings. Vintage is very reminiscent of an older Fender amp. Lead channel offers Vintage, Modern, And Ultra. Once again, the Vintage really reacts to your pick attack, and Modern And Ultra have all the gain you will ever need. Much more versatile than my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, with tons better distortion.

Support:
Peavey has always treated me good in the past. They also have a Players Forum at their website where you can interact with other Peavey owners and Peavey's Customer Service employees.

Overall:
This should be the last amp I buy for quite sometime. If you are looking for a reliable solidstate amp with great features and great tone look no further. This little solidstate job sounds much better than a lot of tube amps on the market today.
