Peavey Love Anyone? - Page 2

quackerz · January 3rd, 2008, 08:23 PM

Brining back some less than amazing Peavey memories. Besides the bass rig I posted above, I've owned a TKO 65, TNT 130, Mark III head, Mark IV head, powered 2x10 Scorpion cab, 2x15 BW, 1x18 BW...

Guitar amps, I had one of the first Classic 30's a few small practice amps, and a Roadmaster 160W 6L6 head with 2x12" Scorpion Plus cab. Exceptionally loud, exceptionally dull.

Patriot bass, Fury bass, Fury S bass, Dynabass, Falcon strat.

Yes, I worked for a Peavey dealer in the 80's.

I had a Bandit 112 for years and it was one of the happiest days of my life when I finally was able to give it away. Replaced it with rentals for a while Mesa, Fenders etc., until I could afford a real Fender Deluxe. My bandmates used to almost grimace when I'd walk in with that bandit, talk about getting lost in the mix. The OD Channel was a joke. When I finally got rid of it and started showing up to band practice with various great rental amps the band would beg me to buy them. Nope, no good Peavey memories at all except when I rented a Peavey Classic 50 212 for a gig- now that was a very nice amp. I have absolutely high praise for it. I have eard much praise for their various tube amps across the board. Their real bad period was in the eighties which spawned the bandit. I would prolly quit if I had to play through something like that. Of course today with all the great stompers, could prolly make it almost passable.

jh45gun · January 3rd, 2008, 10:43 PM

Funny as lots of folks love Bandits. Well you know what they say different strokes. Myself while I liked my classic chorus 212 I do not really miss it. Though I have to say Peavey still makes a good amp. Still I think there are better options out there but it all comes down to cash. Peavey sells a road worthy product that in most cases are darn near bullet proof and for money a lot cheaper than a lot of the competition as Peavey gear is not low end like some of the stuff they are making today. We ran a PV PA with 118 Subs and 115 internationals for 10 years pushed by cs800's and never had a failure. Still I think there are better options out there in some cases or what ever your preference is. If I had to walk on stage with a Peavey amp and PA I would not have a problem with it. I did it for years.

TomD · January 3rd, 2008, 10:48 PM

I've had nothing but good luck with Peavey gear. I've amassed an embarrassing list of Peavey stuff.

Ultra 410 tube amp
Bandit transtube Bandit (Sheffield)
LA 400
Chorus 400 combo
Nashville 400
MarkIII bass head and 1 15" bottom
2 CS series PA amps
Pair of FLH / MD1 / 12" Black widow Mids PA speakers
Pair of SP3 PA speakers
pair of TLS6X PA speakers
PV20USB mixer
MD16 mixer

The LA 400 has to be the loudest and heaviest 1 12" amp in the world. I bought it new in '83, was riding in the back seat when I was in an 85 MPH combined speed head on car accident in '88, still works like new. Had the pots cleaned once 4 or 5 years ago. The power of the thing has to be heard to be believed.

The Nashville works good with a telecaster, especially with the neck pickup. I have to admit it's not my favorite steel amp though. Really disappointing - bought it to use with my Carter D-10 pedal steel, just can't stand that midrange honk it has. The Bandit sounds better for steel imho.

I'm pretty sure your Session will be much better. Could be mine has a problem, bad speaker or something. Lately been using a Fender M-80 combo I found at a yard sale for $100 last summer. It sounds great with the Carter.

Scott V · January 3rd, 2008, 11:16 PM

I suppose most guys who started playing in the 70's probably did so with a Peavey amp, my first rig was an Encore SG and a Peavey Backstage 30, complete with bright red curly-que cord. It didn't sound very good, but it was tough as nails, it with stood many hours of power chords.
When I started playing again in '94 I bought an old black Peavey Classic amp and a Peavey Predator (Strat), the Predator was a nice guitar with terrible tuners, the Classic 50 was terrible sounding, but durable and very loud...
I really like the tweed Classic series, I've played several of them, they sound better than many amps that cost more IMO.
Peavey's had many made in USA guitars I thought were a pretty nice value, Predator, Reactor, Impact, Firenza, Generation, etc. I suppose most of it is now Samick crap like the other brands sub $699 guitars are.

Twangster · January 4th, 2008, 12:47 AM

I own an early 70s Peavey Vintage 4X10 and its great! Still my favorite amp. It is very clean.

I like it much better than my 64 BFDR and 65 PR. All three are in my avatar.

tdu · January 4th, 2008, 09:54 AM

I always wonder why people seem to frown on Peavey. Some of my first gear was Peavey stuff and I never had a single problem with it. When I played bass in my first band (early 90's) I bought a cheap, loud Peavey bass combo. It sounded great, and my friend still uses playing live most weekends.

Flat357 · January 4th, 2008, 11:00 AM

Peavey gear is fine .

I've owned a Peavey Triumph 60 since the 80's .
I had my tech replace the thin wires with some thicker ones , and it's been great .
The pots get a little dry if I don't use it , but which pots don't .
One of the best amps i've had , and a very distinctive tone / tones .
It's not my only amp , but it's very special to me .

Each time I visit my tech , there are always lots of Fender and Messa amps in for repair , so noone can really say any particular amp is unreliable , as they all go under the knife from time to time .

wrw_tele · January 4th, 2008, 01:12 PM

I've been playing through a Peavey Classic 50 4x10 for the last year or so at my church. The church owns the amp, so I thought I'd give it a try. After using it a bit I never bothered to tote my own amp to play at church.

I've played my Tele, my Howard Roberts, and my Parker through it - usually with my FloorPod. The more I use this critter the more I like it.

As a matter of fact, my local GC has a decent used Classic 50 that I had to walk by several times. It might follow me home if it has not been adopted by a caring family.

From the early 70's to about '04, I always had at least one Peavey amp in my stable. From '95-'99, all I really used regularly was a DB1X15.

I doubt that they'll ever have the sex appeal of Marshalls, Fenders, Boogies, etc., but they are there for the Average Joe, and I'm grateful. All of us in-between-ers deserve solid gear at sane prices. Not all of us are in a position to acquire a '66 DR, vintage Marshall, Top Hat/Victoria/Matchless/Bruno/Fargen/etc.

If they ever release the Windsor Studio, I will probably become a Peavey amp user again. I don't need one, but it's like Peavey read my mind.

JayFreddy · January 4th, 2008, 05:06 PM

Another Peavey fan here. Peavey has made so many different kinds of amps over the years, it's silly to make a blanket generalization about the whole company based on experience with one or two amps.

Currently I have 4 Peavey guitar amps in my stable, a Session 500, two blackbox Revolution 112 combos, and a blackbox Special 212. I paid less for all four of these than what you'd expect to pay for a single Fender Twin.

I use my Revolution 112's for Blues Jams. The Revo is a solid state amp, but when I take off the Peavey logo, people ask me what kind of tubes I'm using and how I get "that tone..." Leave the logo on, and the same people are rolling their eyes before I even plug in that I'd have the nerve to show up with "that crap..."

It's amazing how many so-called musicians choose their gear based on what it looks like, not how it sounds. For me, I enjoy being able to get good tone at an affordable price. Peavey has made their share of mistakes too, but if you know what to look for, Peavey gear is one of the best deals going.

Nice folks over there in Meridian too.

xStonr · January 4th, 2008, 10:12 PM

Count me in. I picked up a Classic 30 last summer (black not tweed unfortunately). After a speaker change to a Blue Dog and some tube tweaking, this amp is one of the best tube amp values out there. I may get other amps, but I'll not get rid of my C30.

FrankB · January 5th, 2008, 11:23 AM

I've raved about my classic 4X10 early 1990's amp before on here. It sounds great for what I play ie; blues, country, rock.....
But I will only use it for *Loud* applications, it's loud, heavy and I'm lazy....

my main amp is my '78 champ. just because it sounds great, throw a mic on front of it and "HEY NOW!

" it's suddenly filling a bigger room....or for recording it's crazy good. The Classic 50 is very good also it's really meant for being used in a loud situation, 4X10 likes to breathe vs contained at a lower volume...
I've played some not to my taste Marshalls, Fenders, Boogies, Matchless, Soldano etc.....Depends on what you're trying to hear or feel, everyone's different there's an interaction between you and your amp...
Regarding the Made in China issues, and yeah they are issues Lot's of safety issues which are surfacing in a wide variet of consumer goods.

MarkV · January 5th, 2008, 12:30 PM

Peavey Classic 30 all the way. After fitting some new JJ tubes (low gain pre-amp), it sounds wonderful.

Gives me some classic sounds and more modern, played with a TubeScreamer and a fuzz now and then.

beep.click · January 5th, 2008, 12:55 PM

Peavey has nice amps, but apparently no "mystique." That's probably why I was able to get a Classic 30 head AND the matching 2x12 cabinet last year for $330 total. Brand new at Guitar Center; immaculate. The sales guy said people had been just walking past it for months.

This rig sounds good, and I look forward to trying that 2x12 cabinet with my other Peavey amps.

Doug Ferguson · January 5th, 2008, 07:04 PM

Peavey love? You bet! Loved Peavey's ever since my MACE 212 combo, even though carrying it around took 2" off my height. After my C30 bit th dust last week, I've gotten an Epi Blues Custom 30. Felt like a bit of a traitor going with an Epi. But I've still got a C50 410 to fall back on. Peavey will always have a strong place in my heart and amp stable.

raf · January 7th, 2008, 06:08 AM

My band gigged for almost 15 years using Peavey PA gear...you couldn't break it...rugged stuff.

I had a Peavey Transtube 212EFX for a few years...very nice amp. I never gigged with it, but I wish I would have had its versatility when I did.

I have had good luck with their stuff over the years.

boris bubbanov · January 7th, 2008, 12:13 PM

I've got a Peavey Classic 50 2 x 12 Combo, and while I'm replacing the tubes I'd like to install a couple Weber Blue Dogs.

Any recommendations, ceramic or alnico?

Bubbanov

Edit: I ordered the 30 watt, ceramic ones; we'll see how they do.

bowman · January 7th, 2008, 12:16 PM

I have a Classic 20 that I bought new sometime in the '90s. I like it - a very good-sounding, if slightly dark, master volume EL84 amp. I'd say it has limited clean headroom, or at least less than I'd like, but it has tremendous crunch and grind. Several years ago I picked up a used matching tweed 4x10 cab that Peavey used to make, and that really opens up the tone of the C20. Now that I think of it, the cab is pretty cool, too: it's wired for 4x10 mono, or 2x10 stereo

trag-o-caster · January 8th, 2008, 12:08 AM

DaBender · January 9th, 2008, 08:15 PM

I love my Delta Blues 115. My Classic 20 is pretty cool, especially considering I only paid $65 for it. My PA gear is largely PV, with 3 of their monitors, an SP118 sub and a PV14 mixer.
