Members Johansolo Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 pretty much brand spanking newits the series II (not sure if this means its made by peavey?) with the budda phat custom speaker. the amp+speaker in this combo is insanely loud and i would not recommend it for purely home use. this is a demo with the master volume set quite low and the speaker has less than 1 hour clocked on it, so theres a bit of harshness/brittleness on higher gain settings.

Members tech21man Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 Sounds cool. It is fairly tight on the bass which I didn't expect. How is it for muted riffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Das Booty Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 One of the most honest amps out there, doesn't cover up anything. But it sings when you massage the strings correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hotbaconsauce Posted March 26, 2011 Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 When I saw Satch in concert, Mountain opened up for him. I was VERY impressed with the tone Leslie West got with LPs through a SD 30 (I think it was a 30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Johansolo Posted March 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 i wish i could have pushed the volume a bit higher...but.its one of the loudest 18W combos ive ever come across.the budda phat speaker must be really efficient.

Members ruppert240 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 probably the best amp I ever owned I think the peavey built ones are the new white sd20 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spoonie g Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I tried one of the heads through a marshall cab at the local g.c. and thought it sounded like the perfect blend of vox/marshall dirtwise. Had a buddy offer to sell me his 30 watt combo a month later and I bit. The 30 needed far too much volume for me to be happy. I'm sure the 18 wouldnt be much quieter, but they are slightly different sounding amps. Might be better with some greenbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members donsimon76 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I think I have heard that the ones that have the little Buddha guy in a triangle are the pre-peavey ones. I have heard that there isn't any difference in the circuitry though. For example: And yes, they can be extremely loud. I can see how some people can say they are a little dark sounding. I would love mine to have a presence knob. Other than that I love it. It is one of the greatest lead tones I have found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain why some small wattage amps don't have one. My 30 watt mesa was crancked all the time when gigging and the two channels became more similar than they were in lower volume. And an eq in the loop could do more or less the same anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
