Published on 06/23/11 at 16:53This would be the second edition to this now famous amplifier series. I want to say that Peavey is up to version lll now but I am not quite sure on that. This is in my opinion equally as good as the new one as far as tone and responsiveness. I am not sure if these amp had the Blue Marvel speaker yet or if they were using the Sheffield speakers on these. Peavey isn't known for their speaker quality. I would prefer the Blue Marvel over some of the other that have graced their amps.
For a decent practice amp this one isn't that bad for the money. It has two channels with independent EQing controls and different boosts and voicing switches. This sin not a stage amp nor an amp that you would record with. However, this is a nice little amp for those needing to practice and don't want to bust out a huge stack at home.

SOUNDS
The sound is solid state so it will sound nasally and sterile but not that you are necessarily looking for world class tone in this amp. I like all Peavey's with a humbucker style pickup in the guitar of choice. The clean channel isn't to bad and sounds pretty decent. I actually like solid state clean tones sometimes better than tube cleans.
The distortion channel have a nice grind for high gain purposes and a fatter sound then you would come to expect from a solid state amplifier. The distortion is very reminiscent of a 5150 and pretty much falls in line with the overall sound of the Peavey distortion amps.
OVERALL OPINION
For the money this is a nice amp for those needing to get started playing the electric guitar or those needing a sweet practice amp and don't want to break the bank. This amp has been revised and the newer model is out with some added features like more inputs and better speaker in the cabinet. So the used market is the only way to go with this amp nowadays.
I have seen these on the classifieds recently for around or just under $200. Not a bad price for a nice practice amp on the used market. They sound fantastic for the money and even though they are solid state they have a better tone with the transtube tech that another simple solid state amp.
I would recommend playing this first to see if Peavey solid state voicing is up your alley. These are different then say a Fender, Marshall, or Mesa Boogie.
