Members jamdogg Posted January 30, 2011 Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 How y'all feel about this old SS amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Big Elipso Posted January 30, 2011 Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 I used to play thru one of those years ago. I always thought it sounded angry. The cleans were nice. I generally like anything made by Peavey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flogger59 Posted January 30, 2011 Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 It's OK. The problem that I had with that era of Peavey SS amps was the saturation control. If you got the guitar to sing on the higher frets, it would be too much for the lower strings. Get it right for solid crunch, and it wimped higher up.

Members Pepi Posted January 30, 2011 Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 Bought one new in 1985. Used it for years. The clean channel was great and took pedals pretty well. The distortion channel .... Well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jamdogg Posted January 30, 2011 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2011 Funny you say that, i have a jc-50 to a/b it with. Right off the bat the peavey reverb wins. That said, the peavey has no chorus or vibrato. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
