I found this amp in conroe texas, brand new for 319.00 but I got a footswitch for free, also brand new, the store dealt only with peavey amps. I checked all through the town, no other place had a better one for metal. A pawn shop had a marshall 212, but it sounded like crap, not heavy enough. So i went back to the music store.

The UMPH from the 12. I have been playing for 6 1/2 years. This amp is very versatile and you can make it sound like guns n roses, pantera, danzig, black label society, ozzy ozzbourne, marilyn manson, basically anything, its amazing. I didnt know that 65 watts could get that loud. Palm muting this thing like pantera made my house walls and floor shake on level 3! Reverb is cool to, solos are bad ace too.

UMMM, not really anything, it has an external speaker jack so if you think its not loud enough, you can hook up anything with 8 ohms.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems sturdy, its not that heavy 32 pounds?.!

i love it the t dynamics are awesome, on 100%, also its just amazing on how much JUJUJUJUJU (palm muting) really makes your brains become a blender.

My sister has this amp - I had a Peavey Transtube I - I liked hers so much more I had to have one. I found it on E-Bay and scored it for $140.00 used - normally you'd pay around $275 - to $300 for one new!

This unit is 65 watts - - the next unit down - the Envoy - doesen't have the headroom to jam with a drummer, and the next model up -the Bandit - is a little more substantial than I need for a primarly basement/backstage application.

No one will get it confused with a tremoverb - but then again - show me what other amp in this price range does as credible a job from clean to blues to cruncheroo.

OK - the reverb on this unit will not have Fender Fullerton engineers shaking in their Doc Martens. Nor are your going to keep Jim Marshall awake at night. Having said that - show me what YOUR $300 amp will do (especially of you get it for 140)!

Construction is OK - some screws do come loose on some Peavey's I've had over the years - eg on the reverb tank (did I say tank? - I meant thimble). Other than that they have a nicer feel to them than the teal pre-transtube plastic Peaveys.

Otherwise

IF you want:
1) something loud enough to jam with (or even live un miked - my sis does in smallish clubs)
2) have a limited budget
3) want the most flexibility for the $

then...
you can't go wrong with one of these Transtube II's - the I's were better than some 12AX7-equipped hybrids that I have tried (or owned) and the II's are that much better again.

This equipment is not Mesa/Boogie - but kicks the crap out of everything else in the price range.

If ther was a 4.5 I would give it that.

Ben c a 65W which dlivres really well with a big fat are the marshall has a lamp!
Between 2 guitar (high and low gain)
Three kinds of distortion and three clear
all you need on an amp

UTILIZATION

Really nothing more simple, you plug and it works!
The settings are really very simple, intuitive and above all efficient (volulme, low, mid, high on each channel: gain clear and distortion + reverb and dynamics)

SOUNDS

EXELLENT IS NOTHING ELSE TO SAY (I jjoue of metal)

OVERALL OPINION

Perfect for playing in a small room with a battery and a low
genial especially for the price (I got 350 euros nine!)
I compare it to the Marshall 50 DFX and picture are not the peavey is well above

65w amp transistors (though you'd think the lamps ...)

2 voicing for the clean channel, 3 for the lead

Only drawback: the HP blue marvel, who does not cash very well
It was even a ch'tite effects loop

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, even me I do, the manual is very comprehensive and can clarify a lot of choses.Le knob "T-Dynamics" is very effective, do not hesitate to push the tab to get a sound very easy to fall

SOUNDS

As mentioned above, we believe that peavey hid lamps, so the sounds are superb.

The clean sounds are to die on "vintage" it smells good old attic, with its very hot to the cold, put on "modern"
The distorted sounds are very good too, we can do what you want: bold, clean, hot, cold etc ... It's come a Swiss Army knife, but ampli.La reverb is not very convincing but pushing it it becomes sympa.Attention knob to "post gain" because it goes fast, but still manages to be determined not to upset the neighbors.

I use HSS avecune cort? And versatility, it is royal: we can do what you want with ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months, and I'm very satisfied because it is very versatile, while maintaining good sonorités.Je had compared to the Marshall MG30DFX, but the power, the possible gain and clean sounds have largely € 340 différence.Pour the bulk, it seems hard to beat.

Looking back, I'll try can be either to take this opportunity to save, but otherwise I might look at all lamp used, like the classic 30 of the same brand, for approximately € 400 secondhand

This is a 65W amp with transistors Transtube technology that mimics the sound of a light amplifier, and is great!
Then:
1Between-High Gain and Low Gain
-Settings for the clean sound volume, low, medium, high, and another o is chosen between the vintage and modern sound
- Settings for the distortion: pregain, low, med, high, post gain, and a knob to choose between the vintage sound, modern and a mix of both!
-Finally, tuning the reverb and dynamics of t, t dynamics is put potatoes in the same if you play low volume!

You can put a foot switch, there is an effects loop (where I connect all my pedals), and another taken to put the speakers.
Too bad there is no chorus on this amp but it is not a necessary JC aps rever ^ ^

UTILIZATION

The config is super simple, Yen who will say that the lack of volume gnral is a default, but not at all! lets put a distortion at the same volume as the clear sound or even lower
-In the manual, there are 3 settings: Metal, disto Modra and crunchy blues
For my part I am a mix between the disto Modra and bluesy sound.
Otherwise I could find the settings alone!
I have not the peavey footswitch so I do not know what acts footswitch. (EDIT: it acts on the reverb, so it's not very useful)
I just opened the manual for some adjustments, so very easy to use and knobs are not super sensitive like the line 6 spider 112 (the I not II)

SOUNDS

-I play the alternator and the garage, it's all good! just make a few adjustments and it is top
-I play with my Squier Affinity (RX200 and my edit) and even if the guitar is not great, I like the sound with lots of reverb! I tried the amp in the store on a Cort M800, I have yet to test the amp when you put the bottom, but this amp pte! in Volume 2 we get already a good big sound!

Edit: my ear is growing and I now find that the sound distortion is very sharp mtal, lacks some precision on the other hand.
The clean sound is pretty cool in vintage but a little fat in modern.
It may be just the bridge pickup of my RX200 but when you attack too hard, the amplifier saturates chtit a little!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year
The simulation of the lamps is super well done! but I can not compare that of Marshall ...
Before aqurir this lil amp, I hesitated between the Line 6 Spider II 112 and that the so ... He had no line 6 in the store so I took it: D
For 340euros (list price) is a good big sound, I use it for group play and I can tell you that mentend! then result jsuis have to turn down the volume ...
on the other hand, there is a lil rub on the finish: yavait a lil thing that evil silent fix but no big deal and I refix problemmes are over! But you'll be surprised by looking inside the bte ... the transformer is retained using cardboard ... weird (but I achtet new!)
It's a Peavey so he must love the highs, and I jaime!
My next amp will probably be one version but the muscle!
EDIT: The reverb buzz a lil bit ... but it's not a problem when the volume rises

<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>I say a little (or big) FUCK Distri music who say they will soon get the Spider II 112 ... Then I called .... and I wonder if he will soon receive it and they tell me "yes, we will have it next week" then ok, I reminds the next week, and the same! I called them at least 3x and always the same answer ... result, I am all Meaux, music studio, a great store with friendly sellers!</span>

To this point it's already said does not need to add.

UTILIZATION

Trs-Use simple, but especially not to push the post gain over a home, if not watch out for neighbors.
There is a good range of sounds covering many styles ..... Dlivre power is ample for rehearsals and concerts.

SOUNDS

The gate is ca ... As the sound volume down to play alone is quite acceptable, the clean sounds good with a little rverbe the distos are nice for the hard / mtal (punk rock, abstain, I still not found its fitting for this style ith this amp) as much as a group is woefully flat ...... I would not know dcrire this feeling, but compared to the dynamics of a Marshall cot it pales ........
Another point: Ragit very wrong with distortion pedals. It sounds loud and rough IMMEDIATE with any pedals ......

OVERALL OPINION

It's been almost a year since I have and I would sell it to buy a Valvestate, which despite its bad reputable sduit me ......
This is a "big" amp, too bad I can not use full concert since, as I said I dtest the sound group.
I really do not think I do it again this election, for the price that my cost (320 euros) I can get a Used Valvestate which would have fully satisfied

Amp transistors, effect lights "Transtube"
65 Watts into 8 ohms; HP Blue Marvel
Inputs: Footswitch, effect loop (send / return); HP external high / low gain (6 db/-6db)
Settings: volume, bass, middle, treble for clean, post gain, pre gain, bass, middle, treble for the lead.
Switches: Modern / Vintage for clean, Modern / High gain / Vintage for the lead.

UTILIZATION

Config. is very simple, just clear the two switches:
To-clean: Modern for a more or less "modern" lol
Vintage sound typical for old tube amps ...

-For the lead: Modern metal distortion for a
High gain distortion for a more rock / hard rock
Vintage for a bluesy sound rather

Is obtained very easily sound like the possibilities are many and ...
The manual is not necessary but hey it's still nice to put a ...
Otherwise set aside, in less than an hour we realized what all the buttons used, so excellent.

SOUNDS

First clarification, I never tested high-end amp, so sorry in advance ...
Then I play with an ESP LTD KH-202, with two EMG HZ ...

This amp is well suited to my style of music, ie the metal Metallica and "old school" ...
I get a good distortion, with a good palm mute, and also a good clean sound.
Finally I find it very versatile, I never had the opportunity to push more than two, and he was in the belly so I think it's a good amp for playing in groups without too slammed especially when money is more or less beginner ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months, and I was so pleasantly surprised that since I play her every day and I am delighted with my sound, so far as it is only later on I would invest in a head lamps .... surely ENGL

Most:
-Value / Price
Diversity-sound
-Easy
-Perfect for beginners who still want good sound

les:
-Certainly not comparable to a head tube type ENGL Thunder 50, for example, much less a Mesa / Boogie Dual Rectifier

I think I would do this choice because I was so surprised at his fishing know how I would have done without ...

Technical specifications for any given t is higher.

Regarding the effect of Transtube lamp is just average but good perspective as we must for this award should not ask for the moon either.

I want a report of the same as this amp is rsistant and was not afraid to stroll.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple and intuitive. For an amp This category is gualiseur putting two more frankly. The latter is rather ffective.

For my part I use this amp for train home. It does not dlivre enough power, the battery will tend to completely cover the sound of the amp a month to really push it ... And the sound is really horrible! At least not to be difficult.

I will put seven, the only condition to use it just to train ... Otherwise it would be a 4 ...

SOUNDS

It was then that complicates everything ... The lack of roundness and warmth (though I play with Gibson SG standard that has its origin in a fairly hot)! You do not get the right sound you would with lamps. The sound is flat and cold, and more as mentioned above ds that we push some serious volume disparraissent more apparatre to the final sound shrill.

The only way I found rattraprt everything is plug it in my PDAL Cooltron Vox Bulldog distortion (which has a lamp), and this time the sound is actually correct ...

OVERALL OPINION

I will put seven, I think it's an amp with a good supply qualitprix, and with good rsistant CHARACTERISTICS ... By ca rest against a transistor amp, do not make illusions.

I would recommend for beginners and for work at home (h neighbors must think so)! As against a mind for use in a group, nothing beats a good head amp with these speakers. I use an Engl Powerball to work with my group and it is not comparable, let's be clear.

Amplification is type transistor with a power of 65 W shows (the minimum for group play ...)
It has 2 instrument inputs (high gain and low gain)
Each of the "2" channels (Ralite there are 5!) Is autonomous in its legalization ...
There is the classic effect of insertion, located in the back. The amp has a rverbe (good-quality FDI not too noisy, and a function that changes the prsence overall sound, once the rglages are pauffins. The effect is radical and trs useful.
The weight of the TRS combo is reasonable for your back ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is very simple. No need for instructions.
In fact, each channel has its own legalization. The clean sounds are sublime (but o caches are lamps ???!!!)
In practice there are two types of clear sound: = modern and vintage-deuxime in this case, your Start singing fun, Little Wing, Tin Pan Alley ....-
For saturation, there is not 2 but THREE types of sound!
Sound "modern" sound "trash" and last but not least its a "Vintage"
Rsultat sound = ATTENTION: given the price (down) the combo is probably THE BEST OF ITS CATEGORY AMP on the market ..... and in the midrange did not blush!
The effect is striking Transtube ism ..... If I had my amp acqurir like beginners, I immediately got a great sound and made progress much faster !
In addition it is robust and reliable (no maintenance and no lamp to change!)

SOUNDS

Rock, jazz, blues ..... anything goes and rings with bright ... it phnomnal for the price ..
Personally, I bought it because I m'entrane in my apartment, and my rack with power amp and 4 x 12, etc ... pdalier took too much space and were too much noise ...
L has no rings for me and my neighbors CHRE do not care about peace.
A must try! I stock my rack in the basement .... Fly .... Why complicate when you can make simple?
NB: In the studio and scne (dubbed in the sound system), a ring, a ring ... and no noise!

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly, still not convinced to go try it? IDAL is the amp for someone who has a small budget and wants even when sound ... like a pro.
In addition you will become friends with your banker (or your parents as the case ...)
Come on, since it must be a critic, why not the same as MODEL Stereo Chorus Intgr Go with a small overall score of 10. @ +
In short, this case should not miss ...

For CHARACTERISTICS, critical look at the above. It has not changed in the meantime.
Two types of sounds clear, 3 for the lead.
Well, it's fairly complete for that price the amp.
(I, too, the transformer is supported by a board, I think it's to hold it in place while absorbing vibration.)

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple, clear knobs rglant sound and sound distortion are spars (Practice for two separate properties sounds!). Finally, you have a CONTRL-General for the T-rverbe and dynamics.
Yeah, the manual ... It's true because they are obliged to give, because there is no need. Otherwise it gives as an example some typical ptits rglages (Blues, mtal ...).

Turn the knobs, scrape, turn buttons, scratch ... There is no problem you will find the sound you are looking for. DIFFERENT rglagles with the amp covers a wide range of trs sound, distortion ultra lightweight compressed crunch Vintage trs.

A inconvnient is rglage the volume distortion, it shows trs quickly to beginners and must pass a minute has run his knob in order prs nanomtre not play hard at night.

SOUNDS

This amp covers almost all styles. Trs versatile, with good quality for both the clean sound, the sound distortion.
The effect is striking Transtube, and clear sound in "vintage" with a lot of rverbe gives you the impression of playing on an era of amp (the sound is much chattering in Vintage, mediums emerge better).
The lead is also really good, and the three mode (Vintage: rock, blues | Modern: Heavy, mtal, black | High-gain: Hard-rock) really have their peculiarities, which can then be refined with buttons middle, low, high ...

As much as I love her modern distortion, which I prfre vintage sound clear. (Rhooo Transtube brings this technology even when something, even if it is not the lamps!).

I use a Jackson Dinky DK2, and I can do it all: both songs such as Stairway to Heaven, that of Priest's Painkiller.

Ptite note: When playing low volume, bass stand out more. Ds that the sound rises, Aiges back ... and return, ca, they come back!

OVERALL OPINION

It has been three months since I use it, bought 300 (promo, original price 340), and as I play everything (well, not DCON must either: I do not jazz and gypsy) it satisfies me.

For group play, he has enough to hold potatoes. Excellent qualitprix, in short, a good amp trs, both to play at home, whether in rpt.

APRs must pass lamp.

Transistor combo amp has 65 watts with a HP Blue Marvel 12 "
it is more than enough to play at home without making too much noise and aborbé repeats.
this amp uses technology Transtube supposed imitated the sound of the lamps
in facade there are two jack inputs: high-gain low-gain
at the knob, is simple, a clean channel with volume, bass, middle, and a channel treeble saturated with pre gain, bass, middle, and treeble post gain (volume)
the amp has the distinction of having two modes on the clean channel: vintage and modern modes and 3 on boosted channel: high gain, modern and vintage.
for a single reverb effect is present. It also has an effect loop.

UTILIZATION

We soon found the sound that is sought on the knob and turn sounds!
no need for the manual to read but it has the merit of being clear.
footswitch is an option, cele makes it possible to change channels (light / full) is on or off of the reverb, very practical

SOUNDS

I play this amp with a PRS Tremonti SE from 70's hard rock to metal with modern saturation.
I m not expect to hear such a beautiful clear sound, the effect Transtube works really well! but I'm on the pa require clear, this is pa n I request an amp.
then the attack is the best: the boosted channel, the method offers vintage Bleusy sounds very nice, modern mode it has good headroom for the heavy metal and finally in high gain mode, if you're a fan of iron maiden, this is where its happening!
the amp is very versatile for all styles of music with a penchant hard rock / metal

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for almost two years, and I am completely satisfied
Peavey is one of the best in its class with a quality / price ratio excellent
I bought the 300 for nine euros obviously I repeat that choice and I can advise you if you find an amp pa too expensive and that You are not virtuoso if you are experienced because I do not think this amp right for you it still has its limitations, is better to type in all the lamps.
I put 9 in overall rating because you can not switch between modes of the channel or channel saturated apparent from the footswitch but exaggerates j!

Transistor-65W (ideal for rehearsals and concerts) with 2 channels clean and lead + reverb, send return.
- 2 inputs (highgain / low gain)
- An external speaker output
- Footswitch
- Function trash / gain
easy to use nothing to say on this side of.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple nothing confusing.

The clean sound is OK.
The distortion is quite flexible but to me quite flat sagit when looking for a big sound metal this amp has quite a good crunch.
This amp has solid construction and weight is correct (17.5kg).

The volume pots can hail one.

empty trash button as many mediums as they should be saturated.
Bright button gives an even more clear in its snapping.

SOUNDS

I like the amp enough polivalant peavey studio pro and 112 maintenance of the road on that side.
the sound is clear and correct that with the bright he may have added a lil funky sound nice crunch sound is also nice.
nivo good at the big sound ... ba is the limit! I find it a mansque of présance.
the reverb is really for!
I use it with a small zoom and road maintenance ca.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years not dessu my (apart from the reverb) but I quickly buy a pedal for his script made compencer Price from the nikel!
compared to other amps that I try (without pedals add) ORMI the Polivalente it does not measure up. in the bandit peavey is better now, with the mesa imcmparable RAPORT the fender and it's a can draft.
If you just want something to play with friends and left to right transpots rush! but you absolutely fodra pedals

Any transistor amp sound emulation lamp, and finally the "T. Dynamic". A 12 hp. "
65 watts and 65 watts of Peavey is not 64! (This is not the 65 watt Stagg)
Two inputs, high and low gain, a headphone output, output for the effects on the back, so independent of the equalizer, output footswitch (optional footswitch said)
Two clear channel (the other three said opinion, I have two myself lol) and three-channel distortion, a Modern and Vintage more each time for a high gain distortion. A volume independent three-band equalizer + a (treble, mid and bass) for each channel, finally, one for the Clean and one for distortion. A knob also for T. Dynamic, which is god knows what ... I am not a nozzle in English but I understand it to the website, and true, the knob I use it, given that ear I see no difference ... Oh I forgot the reverb 'a buzz ...

UTILIZATION

Config 'ultra simple, no need for manual, if you know a little bit the operation of an amplifier, it connects, it goes into distortion, turn the knob to "pre gain" (= distortion), it rises the equalizers poru shape the sound you want, you put in the "post gain", you break his windows, and the knob does not exceed 1 at home, in group 3 max ... There's frankly dl'a power ...
To get a good sound, it's simple, JUSE must grind slowly the knobs, not rocket science ...

SOUNDS

[edit of 06/05/07] I repeat all over again because when I reread it I find myself more in this notice.

I play now on a Lag Roxanne RM200 (EMG passive rise and split).

Sound clear: Bof bof bof, nothing transcendent, it's pretty cold as the transistor is not ugly but good. The split gives one of my microphones made prettier than double, if not, equalization is correct, but the sound is rather, well, flat. Never lens anyway. Vintage sound more high-mid and treble, the modern sound more bass, but the difference between the two is mainly on ... adjusting the equalizer.
Sounds distos: What you should know is that as amply transistor to entry-level, it sounds like this: cold and great personality.

Therefore has three modes:
- The first aims to be a crunch Gentillet to play blues or rock (at the rate of gain). Nice, the distortion is fairly defined if we do not exceed half of the race of knob. Quite usable anyway.

- The second is a mode emulating sounds very "metal" on-SOAD Rammstein and others. This is the one I use most to play alone in my room. The distortion, already relatively synthetic, gruel becomes a real past 6 / 10 to gain. The EQ is fairly accurate, with various options (for a more vintage Pantera and Metallica to the references cited above). Warning: it speaks well of transistors moldy, so we do not get the sound of Metallica is an attempt to get closer. A large volume (repeats drummer) is quite usable, but the grain lacks depth, chest, it is rather "flat", even if the sound for the price of good quality.

- The third mode is, I think, more closer to a Marshall's. However, it is less successful: just cold from the guitar through a mist that thickens as you turn the knob to gain ... It's ugly to vomit.

OVERALL OPINION

[edit] I use it for a year and a half.

What I like most is the versatility at low cost. For the transistor that is correct and Peavey tried not to limit the amp distortion to one and only one clear sound.

However, it's still pretty average, all is not workable and high volume we feel weak transistors: no safe, no heat, no dynamics. The value is good, especially at the price at which it must be now.

With experience, I would go for the series of Vox Valvetronix, much better in comparison (I've been tested).

May be more detailed prcdement

65 watt amplifier transistors

2 clean (modern, vintage)
Three different saturations (modern, high gain, vintage)
simulation lamps
EQ separated

Reverb
LINE OUT

no pedalboard

For the price, ca not look bad at all at this level

UTILIZATION

The setup is rather simple ... The search for her is quite comfortable

The manual ... I did not come so it's easy

A little heavy ... but I think it's normal since the power!
It looks solid

SOUNDS

I play with a washburn double two Seymour Duncan, and a multi purpose Korg AX 1500 G

Clean channel: The definition of sound is rather good

The modern is softer than the vintage (which is a little chattering)

Personally, clean vintage with a little reverb in simple micro run I think it's great for blues, pop ...
in pickup, more funky ... It sounds pretty
It very well ENCISS effects

Distortion channel:

Modern: disto orinte hard rock / metal ... a really rough from 5/10...bien to let off steam from time to time

High Gain: disto has the marshall, and less well, I do not like personal

Vintage: Overdrive / distortion slight ... My favorite
Usually the biggest problem is the coldness of his, and his lack of personality ... nothing to do with lights (this is normal for a transistor amp this price)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a year and a few

I like: the Polyval, power, soliditbr /> I like least: the lack of personality and warmth

By the time I bought it was what I was looking for
Good quality for money, especially used

With experience, I would opt for a direct all-tube ... but I repeat that when I made this choice was the right
