Feature:
Equalization:
+/- 15 db @ 40hz
+/- 10 db @ 400hz
+/- 10 db @ 2.5khz
+/- 15 db @ 15khz
Also a +6 boost @ 8khz button.
Pregain, gain, efx loop, headphone out, powered out jack.
Has all the basics, no fancy effects built in.
Quality:
Solid woofer, electronics look good from the specs, metal grill, corner guards and the thick laminated finish: looks like it can take a beating (weighs about 45 lbs O_o!). The knobs are a little cheap though...
Value:
In terms of value this amp seems a little expensive. Crate and
Behringer make similar sized amps with similar features for a little less. Check out the competition before you buy.
Desirability:
It's not by any means ugly, but I don't plan on having this amp bronzed or put in a glass display case. If you are looking for pretty, check out some amps with blue or red woofers and exotic shaped boxes. This amp is 100% practical, it's meant to be used.
Sound:
This amp has plenty of output if you are looking to do small gigs or practice with a drummer, almost overkill for a practice amp though. The sound is good, no nasty spikes in volume on any notes that I can tell. Runs at 50watts RMS, 1% thd, 8ohm speaker.
Support:
Never talked to Peavy.
Overall:
I see this amp lasting a decade or two. I don't plan on doing any shows larger than a coffeehouse so there is no need for me to upgrade later. If this amp were to come up missing, I'd definately replace it, or even downgrade to the 10" model, I bought a little more amp than I really need.
