Guitar Player reviewer Barry Cleveland raves about the tone and value of the Backstage in his March 2004 hands-on product review. "This is easily one of the best-sounding mini amps I've ever heard," he writes. "It delivers a great assortment of tube-like tones and offers excellent dynamic response, all in a pint-sized package and for a very modest price."

The key is Peavey's exclusive TransTube technology, which emulates the sound of tube amplifiers without the hassle or cost of dealing with unpredictable tubes. The TransTube preamp tailors the gain level for any amount of drive, from clean to crunch to scream, using a patented approach to emulating 12AX7 tubes and their ability to create even, harmonic distortion. It also mimics the "push back" response of real tube circuitry, which is essential to emulating tube dynamics, distortion and chime. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Peavey products.

"I have this product, and I'm all over it now!"

Sound: I have this amp, and believe me the sound is very versatile. You can make it play clean country songs, play blues, even play metal. The sound itself is good, and very nice at 10 watts. Feature: Being small, this does not have a double-input, but the rest is enough to make a nice sound. I have used the overdrive, volume and 2 tone knobs most of all just to find a nice sound. I only got uniform sounds when I saw the different modes on the box the amp came in. Ease of Use: It is easy if you know what knob affects what and a little trial-and-error won't hurt to get your ideal sound. If you want metal, just set the Volume to 3, all others to 10 and turn on the overdrive. Simple, even with a non-metal playing guitar like my Fender Strat. Quality: It is nice and compact, and there even is a small hollow at the back which I put the wire that links it to the electric socket into! It is not heavy, and easy to carry. It might as well be a little larger than a guitar gig-bag. Value: I did not buy this amp as a seperate thing, I bought it as a package in the Fender 60th Anniversary Guitar Pack. I think it is well worth the money, looking at the price tag on the box it came with. Manufacturer Support: I have not had problems with the amp, and so did not contact them. The Wow Factor: This may look wierd, but it is "cute" in a sense. A small little amp, yet with a variety of sounds, quite appealing to my untrained eye and probably to other master musicians too. Overall: I am not a pro guitarist, in fact I would say novice to amateur, but I think this amp is great even for the best musicians in the world. It can be a nice sound-tester for your guitar backstage before the gig. It can be a practice amp at home to hone your skills. It can be many things.

"a good amp for it price"

Sound: sound is good but it is a little fuzzy on the distortion and cant hear it over the other instruments. Feature: i feel like there is not enough features for a backstage amp, because there is only high,low and distortion it wiuld be bette rif had reverb. Quality: i think that this amp could be better but for the price this si a nice and it seems very duarable. Value: this amp is worth the money. The Wow Factor: this is a weird question but i think it looks good and simple. Overall: well i have another amp but im hoping tihs amp last for 2-3 years. it seems very hard to blow the speakers(ive tried) so i think ti will last long
