Best value:
Excellent
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).
