"Peavey Penta with Penta half stack is the best sounding setup I have ever owned!"
Feature:
I love it as-is.
Quality:
It extremely well made and it's working superbly. I need to use it for a few years before we can talk about reliability. No blemishes are on it. Superb parts are used throughout so I expect it to last many years.
Value:
The Peavey Penta is worth every penny it cost. I presently also own a Fender Dual Showman 100 Watt Tube Amp and the Peavey Penta puts it to shame.
Desirability:
I really like the way it looks. When I first heard that the vinyl covering was green, I sad ...oh no! BUT, it looks great. It's a nice looking dark green and the Peavey Penta half stack also looks great.
Sound:
I am able to get many superb sounds from it. I am very impressed with the sound quality.
Ease of Use:
It's one of the easiest Amps to use. And the sound quality is very deepthful. The manual just consist of a few pages but this amp does not need an extensive manual.
Support:
Peavey has superb support and I called them, with a few questions, before I purchased their Penta and Peavey has always given superb support. This is the second Peavey Amp that I bought from Peavey.
Overall:
At the present time, I love the Peavey Penta and Penta half stack as-is. I expect to have this for many years and if it were stolen, I would reorder the Peavey Penta and the Penta half stack. The quality of the "sounds" that the Penta produces is what I really love about this amp. I am enjoying this amp so much that I'm playing guitar much longer per day now.
