Published on 06/25/01 at 15:00I got this amp from a co-worker at my place of employment.I traded him a Crate GX30M plus $100.00.So I guess I probably gave about $200.00 for it.
The wonderful clean and warm tube distortion sound I can get from it.
It's extremely heavy, about 95 pounds but the previous owner had installed a good set of casters on it, so that helps.
Its built like a tank, I also have owned other Peavey Amps in the past and they are all well constructed.They don't skimp on using quality stuff.
It so easy for me to obtain almost any sound I desire with this amp and it has enough power (130 Watts)to play anywhere.I replaced the original tubes with Sovtek 5881's shortly after I got it, not because it didn't sound good ,I was just afraid they would go out during a gig because they were 20 years old.I also had to repair the foot switch that came with it one of the wires that controlled the Phaser had broken but other than that the amp is in excellent condition.I won't be afraid to gig with it.
