Re: what are your opinions on peavy half stack?

Depends on which amp. Peavey has several tube amps that you can buy as half stacks, some include 5150 (no longer in production under that name), the Penta amp, the XXX, the JSX, and the Valve King...

Which model are we talkin' about here?

That sounds like the price of the valve king. If I'm assuming correctly, it's a great deal on solid amp. I got the 1x12 combo for Christmas and I love it. Great tube tone and some nice features at a pretty small price. The stock tubes and speakers are pretty good quality and the distortion can take you from classic crunch (i.e. AC/DC) to pretty heavy gain (i.e. Tool, Metallica). The thing I like most though is the clean channel. With a bit of reverb, it sounds amazing... to my ears, anyway. And of course, if that's not the amp you were referring to... that was a wasted post. Rock on.

Peavey has made like 50 tube amps over the years... we need more details.

450 Canadian is what, 375 USD? That's about the going rate on a killer old tube amp ;).
