«  ring 212 for 80 'american »

Published on 01/18/11 at 05:00
Amp hybrid "MOSFET" pre-amp and 6L6GC power.
"Http://www.peavey.com/media/pdf/manuals/80343008.pdf"

60w is a "lamp" whose sound is enriched by leaving the volume of apartment. It is a copy of concurrent MusicMan 112 and other Fender Blackface.

Two channels, a leader and a normal and a master volume for both.
Lead with a saturation knob. This is called a small "crucnch" today
Normal with his clear, rich, smooth ... but happiness

Spring Reverb very power

Phasing with release of "range". It is exceptional even today

3-button footswitch Lead / Reverb Normal Phasing

Two HP 12 "Peavey Scorpion original


UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration:

With a Fender Stratocaster reissue of 1979 or 70 ':
bass 7, mid 1, 3 and acute presence to 6

Clean Volume 7
Volume lead to saturation at 3 & 5

Master to your neighbors.

Here you are with a 80's sound (Fender / Music Man-) opposite of what is proposed today.

SOUNDS

The style of the receiver is oriented Blues / Rock / Jazz. I prefer crystal clear but you can push the mids. I also branch CS9 chorus, a hot head and a whawha. You can use the effects loop if desired.

Just listen to the youtube blackface fender showman or MusicMan 112 to get an idea.


OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp since 1981 (30 years old this year) and I recently refurbished. for a change of two HP Scorpion by two EMINENCE Legend 1218 and replacement of the four pre-amp output transistors. Two 6L6GC tubes GT.Cela is 200 € in total.

These changes have given back a youth in this amp sounds like in 1981.
I also have a Marshall TSL100 head with baffle 1936 that the canal "Clear" is close to the Peavey Classic VTX.

30 years with as little modification, we can say that the amp feels well built with components other than transistors qualité.Mise MPS-5884 have dropped twice and now replaced by two 15,030 and two 2N3904 JE. It must be that to boost the two 6L6GC GT ;-)
