I have a Studio Pro as well. My favorite small gig/jam amp. I hope the purists stay away from these, keep poo-pooing them, and saying silly things like "Well, my ears can tell a huge difference."

This way, the prices will stay down on them, and I'll be able to continue to buy them for $100. I'd like to get up to about fifteen or sixteen of them. At that point, with Peavey's reliability taken onto consideration, I figure I ought to have enough amps to last me about 300 years. Or, for the same price, I could buy a single one-trick-pony vintage or boutique amp. And then get job mowing lawns whenever it needs tubes, a cap job, or a new tranny...
