    Good amp, without

    Peavey Envoy 110 (Discontinued)Published on 11/01/14 at 12:21
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    40W transistor amp
    2 channels
    Reverb
    each independent channel equalization
    A pre-gain on channel 2 function; gain can be activated, thrash mode menu
    output cab 8ohms
    preamp output to use only the preamp section

    very negative (in my case): no effects loop ...

    UTILIZATION

    The second channel has a knob "pre gain" and another "post gain." This is actually the volume of the second channel, and the first simply to gain. So it was a bit confusing at first before realizing it because I thought it matched two gain knobs ...

    For my part, I mostly used the first channel, since my distortion comes from a preamp

    SOUNDS

    The first channel provides a very decent clean sound, but quite cold, characterless
    The second channel is more interesting and versatile enough: the Pre Gain knob is a pretty nice light crunch, then activating the gain, distortion that can push far enough is obtained. By activating the thrash mode, you win the distortion and compression, the sound becomes quite accurate. Please note, this is not the High Gain either, but you can still get a fairly significant distortion. Big flaw: the breath, which appears with: The volume of each channel, gain, treble, and reverb. In the case of the second channel, it is impossible to eliminate the breath emitted by the gain (note my amp is quite old and has been abused).
    The EQ is quite responsive. It is suitable for a lot of styles, but I find it generally just typed, without character. It does not have much personality.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It has been over ten years since I used. I tried several combos, and I find it frankly bland compared to other transistors combos. The sound is okay, and yet it has some interesting features, especially on the second channel, which provides a large range of crunch / overdrive.
    For my part, I find it very very light for a rehearsal (I play metal), and I have to plug it into a 4 * 12 cab, but pushing the volume, much feedback. I play mostly in the apartment then.
    The fact that there is no effects loop is a big negative.
    Speaking of Transtube technology is especially a big publicity stunt: how can we compare lamp and transistor other than pushing the volume ?? it is especially here that feel the difference between the two !! and this one has a sound that cuts off very quickly when you push the volume to a battery !!
    I do not have that choice today, I think that there are much friendlier transistors combos. It may be good for those who play rock / hard rock maybe. For metalheads, it's a fair bit I think even for the rehearsal. To play in his room, that's fine, but I think especially for this there are better options.
