MGR/Mario « Peavey Rage 158 »
Published on 01/09/03 at 15:00Purchased from local music store, Baily Brothers, for $75.
It's a versatile, beginner amp that can do clean and distortion pretty well. I was actually surprised by the clean sound on the amp since it is known more as a rocker. I use it with a Les Paul copy so the versatility of this amp fits perfectly. It does pack a powerful and loud sound. It also includes a CD input and headphone input which is perfect for an apartment or dorm.
The distortion gets a little fuzzy when setting the volume up, and the dials seem little flimsy almost like they're going to come off when turning them.
What makes this and other Peavey's great is the reliabilty. They are built solid and you can bang it around and still be ok. Once again, the dials on the amp seem a little loose but so far they haven't come off or anything so I'm pretty sure they'll last. Also, despite this durability it is not a heavy amp and can easliy be lugged around.
Great beginner amp especially if you play all kinds of music. Versatility and durability are the keys to this amp. You can be sure that you will have this amp for long time as a practice amp, plus, Peavey is known for making quality products. I would easily recommend this amp especially for an amp under $100.
