I played live with 3 different ones loaded with various speakers. The sheffields are meh, but they arent as bad as every one says they are. Raceu4her has a huge rage boner against peavey cabs lol, so Id take his opinion with a grain of salt. But yeah....I was ALWAYS able to get excellent tone out of my peavey cabs. Also, I dunno what the XXX 212 cab is made of, but the 5150 cabs were all ply, with the back on the newer ones being MDF or something...the older butcher cabs were ALL ply.

Members Van_Muddlestein Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 The old vintage butcher cabs are some of my favorite cabs. Thick ass 13 ply with Celestion 85's in them which are basically K100's. They sound great and are tanks they're just ugly. My first cabinet ever was an oversized vintage Peavey 4x12 that was ported. It was very tall and very heavy but it always sounded great. Their newer cabs sound like dog{censored} to me but those particular cabs always sound good.

Members pioneerprogress Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Er...it's a Triple XXX...2x12...cab??? I didn't know such a thing existed. Just to clarify, not a combo, but a cab?Peavey cabs are built great. Most of their speakers are kinda meh. Depends on the application, you might like them for certain stuff (I actually ended up keeping my windsor 4x12 and find it great for low to mid gain stuff, different speakers in that though) - sheffields can be hit or miss, and there are a lot of different sheffields. I forget the guy's username but that guy from Maine did a blind speaker comparison and people ended up liking certain sheffields more than you would've expected.The cabs themselves are well built. But if it's a 2x12 cab, I'd say 200 bucks is kinda high. You should be able to score a loaded 4x12 peavey for that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More often than not, the cabinet is just as responsible for a good tone as is the amplifier head. I dont know how many times I've seen threads or people talking about buying what seem to be universally great sounding amps, only to turn around and sell them, and countless other heads in the process, and one of the only constants, is that they kept putting the new heads on some crappy cabinet that they already owned. If someone is willing to spend 250 bucks on a Peavey cabinet, and then have to ask and wonder if it is gonna sound "ok" good lord, spend the extra 75 bucks and find yourself a Marshall 1960 cabinet.
