Long Live The King

So my wife pointed this out to me on the local buy and sell a while back and I figured I didn't need it so I said we'll see in a month. Well a month went by and low and behold it was still up, so I said I don't need it and went about my buisness. Another month passed and there the ad was with an o.b.o added. I o.b.o'ed and it was declined. We met, I played, we talked I bought.

The clean channel is good. Pretty damn good actually some may say Fendery. It has a bright switch for it.
The reverb is not the greatest.
The gain channel has more than enough gain to play heavy but it won't hit the lows as hard as some. It is more mid ranged voiced to my ear, which I like.more.
There is a gain boost and a volume boost switch sounds awesome engaged.
The presence and resonance knobs are nice to fiddle with. There is also a knob on the back that, I think, changes it from class A to Class AB or somewhere in between. It's a good knob.
Bin the 5150 and 6505's this amp is better voiced and is overall the more versatile amp. If you need the low end just put an eq in the loop and this amp thumps.
That's right bin the 6505's, why, because this amp, cab and the used mxr 10 band eq cost me $510 cad. About $360 U.S and it absolutely can bring it for multiple styles if needed.
Ah whos kidding its a hidden gem for the heavies.
The cabinet is 16ohm, full birch loaded with Valveking speakers. It sounds good to me. There are better cabinets but the price is right.

Congrats...it's actually a pretty sweet amp. I've played more than few club gigs with them as house amps. :bigthumb:

 
Peavey made some pretty cool amps when they were actively coming out with them.

I don't really keep a close eye on the industry so I don't know what happened but every music store use to have Peavey gear now the vast majority don't.
Peavey use to churn out amps/gear but now... the Invective came out 5 ( ? ) years ago and...
Refuse to pay sponsorship money, fire the advertising/ pr department or just a case of well frig it.

I think it was over ten years ago.

I think it had to do with the family arguing over the assets or something like that.
 
My other guitarist has one. It sounds good.
But since he bought my JSX and my TSL, it never gets turned on anymore.

They can sound plenty good and be found pretty cheap these days. I didn't like the speaker much, but that's just me. Good quality amps for the price for sure.

Congrats!

Yep and the same thing that happened with the Carvin audio and amps and the Kiesel guitar thing. That was a family thing and now Carvin is gone, but Kiesel lives on as a boutique brand. I miss Carvin Amps and audio as well as the simpler more affordable Carvin guitars, and also the old Peavey stuff.
