All user reviews of 4/5 for the Peavey Envoy 110 (Discontinued)

I bought this amp at Sam Ash for 230$.

The best thing about the amp is the clean channel, You get a great acoustic sound from it, and you dont here any buzzing. I also like the high and low gain input jacks, thats a plus.

The distortion could be more brutal, but since i use distortion pedals it's all good.

It's sturdy enough for you to kick it and jump off of it. So yea, it has good construction. Also, it has a Blue Marvel speaker which is pretty loud for a 10 inch.

If you like playing hard and fast, this is the amp for you.

For a decent practice amp this one isn't that bad for the money. It has two channels with independent EQing controls and different boosts and voicing switches. This sin not a stage amp nor an amp that you would record with. However, this is a nice little amp for those needing to practice and don't want to bust out a huge stack at home.

SOUNDS

The sound is solid state so it will sound nasally and sterile but not that you are necessarily looking for world class tone in this amp. I like all Peavey's with a humbucker style pickup in the guitar of choice. The clean channel isn't to bad and sounds pretty decent. I actually like solid state clean tones sometimes better than tube cleans.

The distortion channel have a nice grind for high gain purposes and a fatter sound then you would come to expect from a solid state amplifier. The distortion is very reminiscent of a 5150 and pretty much falls in line with the overall sound of the Peavey distortion amps.

OVERALL OPINION

For the money this is a nice amp for those needing to get started playing the electric guitar or those needing a sweet practice amp and don't want to break the bank. This amp has been revised and the newer model is out with some added features like more inputs and better speaker in the cabinet. So the used market is the only way to go with this amp nowadays.

I would recommend playing this first to see if Peavey solid state voicing is up your alley. These are different then say a Fender, Marshall, or Mesa Boogie.
