Feature:
Comes with cab cables, and a footswitch. Awesome. The only thing that I don't like is the fact that the clean and crunch are on the same channel. It would have been better if they had two separate set of knobs for that.

Quality:
Its beautiful, the most beautiful I've ever seen.

Value:
You've got Marshall's that have worse sound than this and that are like 2000 dollars. Best value ever for this amp right here.

Desirability:
It look great.

Sound:
This thing is a monster. It has the best distortion I've ever played in my life. The only thing I don't like is that you can't get it to be completely clean.

Ease of Use:
Extremely easy.

Support:
Never used it.

Overall:
I don't think I'm ever gonna get sick of this amp. Maybe I would get a Marshall JVM or some other head, just for diversity in my heads. But seriously, I think I've found my tone.

Feature:
I wish it had a half power switch and lazer beams to shoot out at the crowd when a pinch harmonic is hit....

Quality:
Tank,Tank,TANK! This amp is the only other i have used that may as well be bulletproof...

Value:
For the price it can't be beat. For twice the price it is still untouched.

Desirability:
I reocrded in a pro studio and used the originaly titled version of this amp and have lusted after it ever since,now i have one and i own the combo, sonicaly other amps can eat Peavey's dust as far as this amps concerned.

Sound:
The gain is the best imo. Cleans are decent. Picking dynamics are second to none where a high gain amp is concerned and this amps gain is much more useable than about any other i have used. For the price it can't be touched and even for a grand more it would still be untouched. The only issue i have is the amp cannot be switched to half power but, not a big deal at all for the tone.

Ease of Use:
EFFORTLESS.....

Support:
The customer service is great, i own one of their no longer manufatured guitars and asked them for the specs and i got them within minutes with a polite message.

Overall:
i love other amps by different manufacturers but, this is,was and always will be my main/go to amp for all but, the jangliest of cleans, when it comes to anything where gain with clarity and articulation is concerned this amp destroys ALL others.

Quality:
Peavey has always made quality products. Why do you think so many artists use their product?

Value:
Try to find this kind of tone for under 1000 dollars... Peavey is the only one.

Desirability:
Looks and sounds like money

Sound:
HEAVY AS F***!! Cleans could be better, but lets face it, if you are looking at this amp, cleans are the last thing on your mind. The gain on this is incredible. Tone is amazing.

Support:
havent dealt with them, but im sure they are great.

Overall:
get yours today!
