MGR/KS « Peavey Delta Blues 1x15 »
Published on 01/18/10 at 15:00The Delta Blues 115, tweed cover: For the last 10 I've used it for EVERYTHING. Gigs, recording, just playing around, rock, jazz, blues, it's dang near perfect. The guitars I use primarily are an Epiphone Sheridan and Peavey Wolfgang.
The guy at my local music store in MN (I think his name was Pat) suggested it to me. I played it, loved it and bought it for somewhere in the neighborhood of $400. Since then it's gone with me all across the country, south to Missouri and up and down both coasts, I now play it in a rock band in Philly.
Great tone. This seems to be what everyone says, but really that's it's greatest asset. Huge lows, pure highs, and the mid don't get muddy. The clean channel sounds great all the way through, and it has great gain in channel two. Tremolo and reverb both sound good, and if you need to give it more for some reason, it sounds great with a pedal in front. Oh yeah, and the dials don't go to 11, they go to 12!
My only issues are 1) it doesn't come with a footswitch, but almost no amps do, and that's a cheap purchase, and 2) the tubes are kind of fragile, though with all the traveling it's done I've only had to replace tubes a couple times, and you can by a tube guard.
Like a rock. My buddy was helping load me into a gig and dropped it 5 feet out of his van. I wouldn't recommend this as part of it's usual maintenance, but it suffered only a couple scratches to the tweed, and played as good as new that night.
Buy it, use it, love it. It'll be with you forever.
