All user reviews of 3/5 for the Peavey Basic 112

Used for $200

This amp is very durable and has a nice metal grill, but looks aren't important. It has 4 graphic EQ which gives you good control over your tone. You can turn up the gain and the volume up all the way and it still performs nicely with zero hum. The cab outlet lets you add some extra volume when you're jamming with your band.

THIS AMP HAS ABSOLUTLY ZERO PUNCH. I've turned the tone up all the way on my Warwick and this amp still blows. I play funk and when I slap and pop, I wanna get that meaty punch that can drive the rythmn section. If you just want a small practice amp for your room, go smaller....this is too bulky for just practing. If you want an amp to jam with some buds with, go with a different amp all together (SWR, Carvin, Ampeg, Crate). The lake of punch makes me dispise this amp. If you're a blues guy, this amp will serve you well. If you wanna hear that low E during the chorus of rock song....good luck with this piece of crap.

Durable, can take a beating.

Great output, can crank it up and still not hear fuzz, but like I said before, the lack of punch is a huge downer.
