"Small little Amp with a BIG attitude."

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
At least 5 years or sound, if the speaker doesn't blow out or something like that.

Sound
I feel as if the sound quality of this small amp is much bigger than its size would indicate just by looking. So far I've been able to get just about any sound out of it that I could ever want, but I do feel as if the distortion is fairly weak. But that could just be my inexperience with this beauty. Not yet familar enough with what the proper settings should be. The clean channel is just that, clean. The EFX channel is extremely responsive & the special effects are fantastic. My playing seems to have improved even more since I bought it.

Features
No accesories were included with my amp, but I do plan on getting a 4 button foot switch for it. The vintage/tube switch works as advertised and so does the clean/EFX button. Just press it once & change from one to the other. I do wish it had that foot switch included with it, but no big deal, since I can get it later.

Ease of Use
Extremly easy to use, but I had to read the manual a couple of times to really understand them all. (or at least most of them). The only thing I see that might be difficult with it is to learn what settings I want to use for each one of the 100+ songs that I know. Not even sure if there is a way of storing any of the combinations that I use to play certain songs without that foot switch & its presets.

Quality read more
It seems very strong in dependablity. The finish & looks are great & I do think I can depend on it to haul outside or too other places with no problem.

Value
Dollar for dollar, it seems a great deal.

Manufacturer Support
2 year warranty, extended to 5 years if you feel out the enclosed card either by mail or online with Peavy. Don't know about the support itself caused thus far I've experienced no problems.

The Wow Factor
Its sound is so terrific as to make you want this amp alone.

Musical Background:
Hobbyist. Just play for my own, & friends enjoyment

Musical Style:
Old rock, country, etc.... Instrumental songs.
