Peavey Guitar Effects

This is a review for the Peavey Delta Stomp. Before I get ahead of myself; this pedal runs only on a 16 volt 1 amp power supply. Don't buy this unless it comes with a working power supply! Once you are beyond that. This is a cool little effects unit. I guess it is considered a multi effects unit, but there is no confusing LED screen and pedal to patch up and down. Just a simple rotary knob that adjusts the effects. The effects to choose from are: 3 reverbs, 3 delays, tremelo, chorus, phaser, flanger, wah (adjustable through addt'l controller) auto wah and a cool rotary speaker. My local shop had one of these on clearance. No idea what it usually ran for, but it cost me around $50 with the power supply. Solid box! The chorus and delays were great. At the time there weren't many reasonably priced leslie effects. As I mentioned the power supply is weird. You almost need to get the factory one for this pedal to work. Other than that, a pretty straight forward pedal. Rock solid. Peavey has always impressed me with their build quality. Everything seems rock solid. A great box packed full of cool effects. Keep an eye out and make sure you are getting a working power supply with yours. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I got a fender Tele with single coils and a solid state fender champion 100 with a dozen effects pedal-board. Ive played this pedal through a keyboard also for that electric piano sound. This pedal is old-school so its got a rat pedal style pin for power port also takes a battery, has a funky switch but no problem. This pedal has ALOT of sounds in it, though the good news is there all good, so some tweaking is required to get a basic chorus. :bravo:The Peavey DSC-4 pedal is one of those rare cool finds as its easily one of the better pedals on my board. Ive used other chorus pedals before, (Dan-Electro, Boss, EHX,) and this pedals sound is just as good if not better if your going for that 80's reverb.

Borrowed from a friend, broke it, bought it broken, fixed it. Paid 25$ Canadian. This unit gives a huge amount of power to a distorted guitar sound. Think Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream kind of big sound. Full Frequency output fills a lot of space. Feedbacks very easily (I love it). Makes powerchords so big. Puts out a lot of noise Can't handle low harmonic when battery is dying Controls are pretty useless below all knobs on full Battery case is not large enough, and foot pressure damages circuit board connection by jamming battery into board Solid metal case with a rubber padded no-slip bottom. Knobs are solid. Mine has been deconstructed and rebuilt several times. Battery should be stored outside case, and leads are therefore suscpetible to damage. Card connection between board and controls are flaky. I love this pedal. it defined my sound for about 5 years. If you are going to get one, don't pay a lot for it, and get and AC adaptor.
