Re: Older Peaveys on Craigslist
You'll have to try before you buy and you'll have to mic it while playing live (which is not a bad thing).
I have a 1X10 Peavey Classic 20 and it is very low output. It's challenging to gig with it but I did have some success.
Geoff (wahwah) plays huge gigs with a 1X10 Fender.

To be blunt - old SS and most older tube Peaveys sound like pieces of crap. There were some exceptions, but your money would be much better spent on a used modern amp.
Find a Vox Valvetronix, L6, or newer Peavey Transtube. They sound better, have more features, and the components are newer. Back in the day, when all we had were junky solid state practice amps, we would have LOVED the kinds of amps that are out right now.

Two great out of production Peavey amps are the Prowler and the Ultra 112. If you can find a deal on one of those jump on it.

+1 on the Ultra 112, I scored one on ebay a couple months ago for a whopping $142 ! 60 watts of all tube goodness, its a beast , american made tube amp that blows the socks off of most anything I have heard under $1200

I've been reading all the old threads about Valvetronix, Transtube, other old peaveys... there are just so many out there, and its hard to try out lesser known older amps.
What's funny, is that I used to jam on a Transtube when I was learning, and how no idea how cool those amps are.
So the Ultra is a good one? The Bandit seems to be good as well.
