Back to Product Information
Sound: These amps have surprisingly natural "tube-like" tone and response. I can only deduct one point for the speaker, which could be better. Feature: No effects, which is OK if you already have outboard effects you like, or prefer to not use effects. Ease of Use: These are as simple and straightforward as any amp you can get. Quality: It seems to be well designed, does not have any significant rattles, buzzes or hums. It has a plywood baffle, which is adequate for the speaker and it has MDF cabinet, which is just fine for an open-back light-weight design of this size. Some potentiometers got a little crusty after a year in my moist basement... no problem though. A little "exercise" quickly cleaned them up. Value: Yes, definitely worth the money. Manufacturer Support: In thirty years of using Peavey stuff, I have only has two instances of dealing with Peavey support. Both times were because of things they had no control over: 1- a studio fire which destroyed my peavey effects, and 2-a blown speaker which was not their fault. In both cases, they were very responsive and helpful. The Wow Factor: I have found that these little amps are great for low-volume Jazz gigs, practicing and teaching. Also, singers do not seem so threatened when you show up with this little guy... great for auditions and first-time calls. Overall: If you want simplicity, reliability and realistic tube tone, these are really good, especially for the $$$. You can get even better tone if you are willing to replace the speaker, but the stock speaker is fine for low volume.
