All user reviews of 3/5 for the Peavey Studio Pro 112 II (Discontinued)

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

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).

Peavey is a great company and their prices are reflective of that care for the budget of most consumers. They continue to put out great sounding pieces of gear for extremely affordable prices. Even there highest end amplifiers are well under $1500.

This little amp is a great practice amp. It has a powerful 65 watts which in many cases is too much for practice. also these come with the transtube technology which is about the best way you can get a close tube amp sound out of a solid state amp.

SOUNDS

This amp is a little gem of an amp. You can get a decent but not great clean tone and a good high gain tone as well. I have never been a fan of the Peavey clean tones. They seem to have very little life or soul in them. However, that isn't why most people look to Peavey for their amplifier needs.

People go to Peavey for one good prices and also great high gain amps. This amp has a sweet sounding high gain tone that is very forgiving and fun to play around with. The amp is very forgiving and easy to play. If you have ever spend time on a VHT or a Splawn then you will know how tight and unforgiving those amps can be. This one is loose on the distortion side.

OVERALL OPINION

I am not sure what the going rate for these amps are now a days. They couldn't be too much money. I have seen them depending on the features as low as $100 and all the way up to $250. Not sure exactly what the differences were as I wasn't looking to buy but they are relatively inexpensive to own.

I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good sounding multi channel amp for a good price. This will be a good practice amp and not designed for stages really. You can play them on stage somewhere but you might get an ear full from a the sound man.

See other reviews. I still accurate than mine (the series more morden I do not know) has an analog reverb.

UTILIZATION

We do is use more traditional and simpler. I've never had to open the manual. The equalization is effective, and the types of sounds are all different. For the simulation knob lamps, there is hardly a difference between level 0 and the maximum ... In

SOUNDS

sound, light, sounds very "transistor" very neutral, cold, but well balanced and very accurate. Equalization and the selector "modern / vintage" allows you to play all the guitars. Do not expect to play blues or funk with a nice sound, but jazz is pretty cool (especially with a friend Parker, equipped with SD SH2 and SH4).
In Lead, 3 different positions: the "vintage", which is a pretty bold crunch, with a large amplitude. This is the sound as pleasant on that channel. the "modern", a typical metal, perfect for train harmonics, tapping and the technical demonstrations. Careful though not to put too much gain, it drools a lot and a big mash could leave your speakerphone! However, this allowed me muddy side, I began lorqui, overcome my faults But gambling attention to feedback, it is still there! I think the position higain "is a horror, screaming, without soul, I've never used.
Honestly, for distos could use some work. Prefer pedals.
I like the reverb on this amp, if not exceed one quarter of its travel, except if you want to know how it feels to play in a cathedral.

OVERALL OPINION

I use for almost 5 years. I then had a limited budget, modeling was not very accurate at the time and quite expensive.
I have not changed because of funding, but I use this amp with pedals always, whether for a clear sound (with a slight boost) or distortion. However, it is quite powerful, reliable and speaker quality is good.
But now this amp is exceeded, for the price you can have with modeling amps sound much better and versatile folds.
On occasion, you can find around 100 €, which is not bad considering the power of this amp, provided they have pedals.
With experience and today I would not make that choice. I prefer a Line 6 or Epiphone Valve Junior, a Roland Cube seen, albeit less powerful, but much better in this price range.
