UTILIZATION

This is an entry level amp, and very easy to use. We choose the channel is adjusted gain / volume, a little bit of equalization, and go!
So very easy to use.

SOUNDS

To be clear, this amp is recommended for small new guitar.
I always played metal, and obviously it's a bit limited.
Although with a good setting, we can get a cool sound
(Eg its widened in many mediums with sharp and well gives a punchy rhythm to a)
For lead guitar virtuoso, the distortion is too biting to gallop.
But will be enough to advance.
But this is not the primary purpose of this amp ...
Also the reverb is missing .. the model just above (the blazer 158) has a reverb.
This is especially clear that the lack of reverb will unfortunately feel ..

OVERALL OPINION

This amp was my first amp. I do not use over a long time. Nevertheless, it still works perfectly (10 years anyway). It's very good gear, reliable.
Also if I drafted this notice, to respond to a request for an opinion.
As stated above, I do not play on this amp since looooongtemps ..
So I try to get back into the shoes of a start to be objective.

So to summarize, it's tough, intuitive and perfect for beginners.
I put a 9 because it lacks the reverb, but for this there is the 158 blazer.
It is not an error on the part of peavey.

I rented the Peavey Rage 158 from a local store to try with my new ESP LTD KH202 guitar. I used to have a Behringer amp with dial-in presets and I hated searching for presets on it (100 effects on a dial with a list of settings in the manual) so I was reluctant to get another modeling amp. This changed my mind about modeling amps.

UTILIZATION

The presets are easy to dial up using different banks (user, song, artist) with a display that spells out the selection. The amp sounds great for the rock and metal I have been playing on it. I even like the sound of some of the 1950s presets and may toy around with some oldies too. It doesn't come with a full manual but you can download it from the Peavey website (I printed mine out and put it in a notebook for quick reference). Also, it helps to read the FAQs on the website.

SOUNDS

I recommend getting the FBV Mk2 Express footboard to go with this since you can control volume, quick loop, and the tuner with it (among other things). I am just now tapping into all the features of it so I am sure there is much more I need to learn about it.


OVERALL OPINION

This amp is good for being loud all the time even when you not playing the feedback is too much for me. If you can fine tune this thing and like the sound you get out of it, go for it, but if you like to change sounds often or just need a better amp in general, get one of the earlier spiders (series II or III) they are way better and a better value for your money. Not that spider overal is better than peavey , but this amp isn’t the best one that Peavey makes.

UTILIZATION

This is a good little practice amp. It has no effects, like reverb, delay, or anything like that, which is a touch disappointing to a new player. One can find a used Line 6 Spider series in the 15 watt versions for the same price as a used Rage 158, and the Line 6 will do a lot more. But that isn't to say this isn't a good amp - if you find one for less than 40 bucks used, it's probably worth it. One thing I used to do as a kid was run an out from this into the power amp section of a tube amp, and it sounded really neat - I thought the tone was reminiscent of Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine. So if you do end up getting this amp, neat sounds can exist even at stage volume, if you get creative.

SOUNDS

It's a decent-sounding amp for what it is. It's no Bogner or Diezel or Trainwreck, but it's not designed to be. It gets clean, it gets dirty, and the EQ is pretty tailorable, so the sounds this can get are varied. It's a practice amp, so one probably isn't expecting to record a platinum hit with it - it's meant to use for practice, and it works for that purpose.

OVERALL OPINION

Sevens across the board. I like the amp, but again, the Line 6 Spider series is a better buy for the price range. I liked my Rage growing up, but Line 6 wasn't around then. The Rage works for practice - the external input is a nice bonus. If I was given this amp, or if it was dirt dirt cheap, I'd probably buy one and use it just for sentimental reasons, and it would still get the job done.

OVERALL OPINION

My ct I pay 60 There's a dj p'tit moment and frankly I am quite pleased. Its 15 W are even a little too much to play apartment. Given the size, power and price of the amp, it is hard to beat unless you want to invest 100 supplmentaires.

OVERALL OPINION

- I loved the powerful of this amp (for a 15 watt) but I did not like the diffrence in volume when I spent an effect to another and I knew jms well have a good equivalence
- The price I got a 100 euro (it was $ 150 was the era) c'tait for me a pretty good deal and it is + mtn forty euros less CHRE then: Notice beginners go for it and do not be fooled by the amp (rotting) of Xp

That says it all

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple, I never touch an amp before this one, and I did not have too much trouble to me.

SOUNDS

O It is the weak point, good on the one hand it is a low cost amp, but all the same Peavey is a great brand and I admit I t of the flat sound of this amp, though I have used with various guitars and effects of good quality but nothing happens, the sound has no personality trs little depth, I'm from .

OVERALL OPINION

This is just the average, say that it is a good qualitprix that to start as I did, why not, but you will spare gear to fast for a better sound.

-Transistor amplifier (technology Transtube) so-called emulation of tube amp ...
C ke-15W true for 15w transistor has dla potato ... well c on

I put 8 because for the price of c already not bad.

UTILIZATION

- The configuration is simple so to speak since there is not much to settle.
- We get a sound so easy but to say a k'il is good ... Of course, the clean sound is not bad but the sound is saturated for my taste really disgusting ...
- Never had any manual way to do a manual for koi?

I use it with a Jackson JS30 and a epiphone special model (yeah I c nothing very violent but you do with a. Skon lol)
It crystal clear sound in saturated forget. fat too. the distortion is pretty weird at first I was very good but I just change my mind trying other amps.
I prefer the sound clean and crunch ki are in my opinion the only correct k'on sounds can come out of this amp. but it is important to formalize as much worse amp.

OVERALL OPINION

I have used it for a year in my dorm room
I like c-ske k'il is small and not very heavy portable
I do not like too-ske c volume control below 5 means nothing and c above too hard ... must go to the tenth degree ... lol

OVERALL OPINION

This amp is pretty cool, I play in a group with, even if it is small it off. Board 'em especially beginners, it costs almost nothing (85 new, 50 of OCCAZ!. 158 The blazer is the same with rverbe more. Unfortunately I'll have me Sparer because it is too small to play in the bar, but it is cool ... vraimment

- How long have you use it?

I use it for about 6 months he was buying a rock duros reindeer for about € 100. it's a bit more expensive than average but has seen duros prices are quite high that still corect.

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Special features I like the least? I pence as the color of the lamp and a simulation not too convincing. I do not like the qualitée of the volume pots plain does not work anymore and is stuck at the bottom I must play with the volume on my Start. These knob égalment are very very very very sensitive they must be turned in 1 / 10 of mm, nan nan is not an image.

The Special features I like most is the easy to use: (in order of lever knob of gad etc.) a clear sound volume, switch clean / lead, a prégain, post a gain, the switch " vintage "or" modern "and a 3-band equalizer.
It is also very powerful sansproblermes it competes with my battery or amp scratch that plays on a 25w.
I will contradict myself but at the same time it is still strong enough I lug around several times in the rain coming out of high school and there was no any problem.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

since this is my first amp and I had a grant more than limited at that time I did not have much choice so it is the only one I try (at time of purchase of course)

- How would you rate the quality / price?

I pence it is one of the best quality RAPORT market prices for the beginner like me who has a limited budget is ideal.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I nan pence price I would have a more powerful amplifier with a very fonctionalitée allowing me such a head grabdepolivalence v AMPIRE or line 6.

UTILIZATION

Rugged, compact, visible and easily accessible buttons. the 3-band EQ Ragit well.
Rglages use and easy.

SOUNDS

The clean sound is ok, it restores the highs trs well (sounds crystal).
The saturation is balance (precision / distortion) same background that does not EMDU. Although it increases gradually with the button so good sound palette (country, crunch, hard ..) and the DS-1 corresponds with the tone around 10.
It keeps well in an attack so acute disto plutt punk (not heavy at all)
There's a button that gives a vintage vintage sound (and yeah), Global Warming ca senior medium. (Never used)
Warning! volume lev just the sound becomes all ugly, there's breath (when playing with other instruments, it can pass inaperu) becomes saturated and any dirty (frying). Therefore only be used to play alone in his room volume low.

I bought it in 2000 and I still use it at home with guitars strat type.

cf. Wikipedia

UTILIZATION

- Purchased from OCCAZ without manual (useless, in my opinion)
- If you are archi beginner, prefer the advice to hack adventure buttons. This gives you the best possible sound (if the seller is not fake ...)
- Attention, I have not tested on stage, and personal, I would keep the room. Unless you are the amateur festival of zik

SOUNDS

I play more blues, but the rock (saturated, bright), jazz and reggae are doing very well also. A nice versatility.

OVERALL OPINION

- Used for 3 years.
- Laney had a low power before. Nothing to do (under the Laney)
- You will have costs included: value for money: nothing wrong!

This is a 15W transistor amp.
He has a guitar input, a CD input and headphone output.
It has two channels: one clean with the volume and channel gain and saturated with a volume ain. There a general equalization low, mid and treble. If you can call it an "effect" the amp has a small switch that allows you to add mediums and having a style "old rock".

UTILIZATION

The mega confuguration is simple and there is no need to be a pro to find a setting not too bad.
The manual gives some tips for beginners: The settings for his rock, country, metal ... etc

SOUNDS

Instead, I play metal and this amp suits me.
I play Jackson (JS20 Dinky JS30 and Kelly) with a zoom effect G2.1U recently.
Without the effect we have a good clean sound that can not adjust according to the desired equalization. For the distortion is not too bad, we get a fairly accurate one.
There is a slight hiss when the treble is pushed to 7-8.
With the effect is good at any level.
Now I use only with multi-effects.

reported that saturation can provide a surprising amount for a 15W. In my room the volume is a more than adequate.

OVERALL OPINION

I have three years and I am satisfied.
I like its simplicity, its not bad and its size makes it easy to carry for a lil jam. For the less there is none, for now I have no problems to report.
I try a Marshall of the same size, but I prefer this one was more cheaper.
The price / quality ratio is very good, only € 80. For an amp like that I find it excellent.
It is ideal for a room.
I do it again this choice without problem.

Peavey does it again with there inexpensive and fantastic sounding amplifiers. This amp is only a simple 15 watta amp with loads of options to boot. It is a solid state amp that has a clean channel, a lead channel and a simple Eq section. You also get an input, a CD player input, and a headphone jack for silent playing at your home or office.

There reason isn't anything special about this amp other than it is cheap and good enough for practicing your guitar chops. Some of the latest editions to this model had a modern and vintage voicing switch on the lead channel. This one has is but the original I don;t think had one on the front panel.

SOUNDS

The tone from the transtube is exceptional as far solid state amps go. This isn't going to sound exactly like a tube amplifier, but they get it sounding much better than most solid state amps out there on the market.

I like a Peavey amp with a good sounding Gibson Les Paul or SG guitar. I find that the match between those Gibson mentioned and the Peavey tone matches up much better than Fender guitar. Peavey's can tend to have a shrive distortion tone that needs to be tamed a bit with a good mahogany wood body guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

Peavey has since discontinued these amps and are now focusing on there Vypyr series which has now become a huge hit. They still use transtube technology in many of their current amps.

Since they no longer produce this amp the used market is the only way to go if you desire this amp. I have seen them on the classifieds for right around $70 to %100. Not a bad price for a good sounding solid state practice amp with multiple channels. I highly recommend this amp for someone needing a good silent amp for practice.

The Peavey Rage 158 is a fairly typical practice amplifier from Peavey's venerable line of amps. It's a 15 watt solid state amp featuring Peavey's "Transtube" technology. This is supposed to ape not only the tone and harmonics/overtones that a tube amp offers, but also that unmistakable feel that you get when playing through a true tube amp. It's got two channels, clean and drive. The layout is very simple, featuring a single volume for the clean channel and separate gain (pre) and volume (post) controls for the drive channel. Other than that, both channels share an equalization control set of bass, middle and treble controls. The only other features of note on this amp are a 1/4" headphone jack for silent practice as well as a 1/4" auxiliary input for plugging in a CD player or other external device. It features a single 8" Peavey Blue Marvel speaker to cap everything off. All in all it's a decent feature-set considering the amp's then street price of around $100.

UTILIZATION

When I first got the amplifier, I was about 6 years old and it was the first amp I got that was my own. It is very simple and easy to use, so even at that young age, I was able to dial in reasonable tones that I liked. Even up to the present day. There aren't many features to wrap your head around so that leaves room to just play guitar.

The clean channel has a nice set of tones. I've used it as a rehearsal amp for a jazz project for the last year and it works well enough for that, despite being old and only 15 SS watts. There is some pretty horrendous speaker buzz from age, so that limits me from turning the amplifier up too loudly in these settings. The drive channel is really impressive for a solid state practice amp. Its specialty seems to be a surprisingly killer 80s/90s rock tone that has lots of midrange and a really punchy attack overall.

SOUNDS

I've had this amp since new when I was 6. At that time, I was using various Squier, Yamaha, and Epiphone guitars with both single coil and humbucking pickups. At that time I was playing blues and rock music, most often on my own. On occasion I did use this amp for gigs/television appearances, and in those instances the amplifier would be mic'd.

Even today I still use this amp for rehearsals and as a beater, and though it is aged and worn it still sounds great. The Transtube system does have a great sound and though it's not going to ever replace a proper tube amp, it does sound great for what it is. I love the overdrive tones especially and find myself playing lots of 80s riffage and lead based stuff when I'm plugged into the Rage. The amp gives me a wonderful inspiration to play because it sounds good. Most practice amps don't put a smile on my face but this one does.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I feel that this is a great amp for the young guitarist or someone who just needs a small amp to use as a beater/practice amp. I've been using mine for over ten years and it still works very well and sounds great. I've tried the newer versions of the Rage (the one with the red stripe as well as the newer 258 model) and I was not nearly as impressed with those as I was with my 2000 model Rage which the silver stripe. These amps can be picked up cheaply on the used market, so if you are looking for a small, simple, yet great sounding amp on a budget, give the Rage a try. You might be surprised...

Amplification transistor that "simulates" lights: jerry: ^ ^
I assure you, opening, not a shadow of a 12AX7 or EL34!

Power is honorable to play in the room or apartment, except that if you want to have to push the gain distortion, and volume ... Otherwise if you turn the gain to 1 / 4 it will sound really bad.

There's two channels, a few knobs for the EQ.
To begin it is essential!

UTILIZATION

My faith is an amp eh ^ ^
I had no manual but hey I do not think it is extremely necessary

Okay so if

SOUNDS

necessarily expected from a 15 watt peavey it sounds like a mesa RoadKing ... Or even a triple XXX from the same brand ... We will soon be disappointed!

After I had to have during my few years of guitar amps about 8 or 9 "beginners" which I have passed through the hands for one reason or another, and I must say that compared to many it is doing no harm! Generally there are only a crunch / overdrive in the amp like this, this, by putting the volume can be much further! Then the grain is not necessarily great, but with a guitar that sounds not too bad, we survived without too many problems with ...
But there is no doubt that when you want to start repeating group, or you feel close to something bigger, RAGE will quickly become inadequate ...
According to my humble opinion the best in this category is the Roland Cube, plus it can put batteries!

OVERALL OPINION

Personally, I saw 15 € Used flea Marseillan in the south of France, I did not hesitate a second!
And I'm pretty served in apartment ...
Now if I had to buy the nine .. I think we can be much better for 100-120 €!
