Transistor amp head, blah, 100W, blablabla ...;-)
a clear channel, a saturated and of course the knobs for each low, medium and high ... one mic, one for passive and active microwave, a (beautiful) reverb boards.
Bonus (Wow!) Into a front for an effects loop ... In short, nothing complicated at first! Or later also ...

UTILIZATION

Question (s) configuration, easy to get good sound and good look on the clarity of the manual will tutti bene!
It's simple, does not need an engineering school ...

SOUNDS

I use it for metal, punk HxC forward to and it well enough ... I'm over successively with a Fender Stratocaster, a Les Paul, an acoustic electric Lag, a Charvel and Ibanez 7-string and nothing to to repeat any of them ...
A little more light on the sounds that work with pleasure for a given "smooth" side saturation and sober ... that fish a little when trying to have a sound not quite enormous and there's basically nothing wrong but is not Desousa tip top ... I suits me perfectly but it's true that you can feel a little frustrated ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been years qques I have (I have also the old Peavey logo on the front!), She always enough ... at least until recently!
From the point of view quality / price is a good choice when you have no deep pockets and you do not yet have enough bottle to get around in the jungle of amplification! So a safe bet ...
Now it is the transistor which means:
1/qu it must forget the "grain" bluesy "and other subtleties ... in fact it is not the top for anything other than rock (in the broad sense, pop-metal ...) and nothing in any case that can not be exceeded with a good multi effects pedal or simply qques well chosen!
2/que it is less than that of potato lamp ... the coup in a group with two scratch, it is more than enough but a trio and as long as the drummer bangs ... it's light
