All user reviews for the Peavey Rage 158

15W transistor amp.

The settings are basic:
His clear: Volume
Its saturated: Grain volume
Equalization: Treble, mid, bass

Downside: no connection possible footswitch

UTILIZATION

As there are few buttons, the settings are simple. The disadvantage is that the adjustment possibilities are limited.
The clean sound is good as usual on the Peavey. But the popping sound is not very good.
Anyway it is indeed an amp room, a battery cover you for sure!

SOUNDS

I played it with a Squier Stratocaster guitar when I started, the clean sound was very pure.

For a popping sound warmer, I use it with a pedal Ibanez Tubescreamer.



OVERALL OPINION

Good amp for beginners I used it for about 3 years until he let go of me trying to push still more ... It really is not an amp for metal ...

Transistor type 15W
CLEAN: 1 flight
LEAD: pre-post gain gain
ECUADOR: bass middle high
Input output and CD input


UTILIZATION

Can no longer simple
Manuel, y 'has an unnecessary but
Its good everything is relative, it's still a transistor entry

SOUNDS

Well for the beginning guitar
For use with pedals preferably
The distortion is not bad for the price, then we get tired very quickly

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for more than 10 years (with a preamp tube, pedals, TonePort, etc.).
It is excellent value for money: 100 € to begin it's perfect!

This is a small solid state guitar amp. It is a 15 watt amp with an 8 inch speaker. It has a standard guitar jack and also a 1/4" input for CD/Tape. It is a 2 channel amp - a clean and a lead. There are pre and post knobs, a low, mid, and high tone control, and a master volume knob. There is also a headphones jack.

UTILIZATION

This amp is very simple to use. There are only a few controls and a simple channel switch. It's very easy to modify the sound to try to suit it to what you are playing. The manual provided is clear and easy to understand - it's not a complicated amp.

SOUNDS

This amp sounds only fair. First of all it is small, so you won't get any giant, loud sounds out of it. It is a solid state distortion on the lead channel that sounds a bit grainy and dull. The EQ section on it behaves as you'd expect, but the sound of the amp is not great to begin with. The clean channel on this amp is pretty sterile and clear, but doesn't really add anything. There are no built-in effects on this amp to sweeten the deal. If you maybe boost the low and mid depending on your guitar you can get a passable distortion sound but this is no Fender or Mesa.

OVERALL OPINION

This was my first guitar amp, I've had it for years and just decided to keep it around. It is small, so it's portable and convenient if you just want it for casual jamming. It is also pretty cheap, which is always nice. However the sound is certainly short of spectacular. Most of what comes out of this amp is pretty tame and thin sounding, there isn't a lot of depth. Also, the distortion tone doesn't change much when you vary the pre knob like you'd get from a nice tube amp, it's all pretty much the same at different volumes. You just have to mess with the EQ section. It is a good value for a beginning guitarist who just wants to be able to hear his guitar as he learns with a little bite on it. Other than that, I'd probably pass on it.
