Members MattACaster Posted June 11, 2010 Members Share Posted June 11, 2010 Was at band practice last night after a 2 week break. After putting my rig back together I wasn't getting any sound so I started switching out cables and everything I could think of. By the end of it all I ended up finding out that may cab was the issue. But after all that I pretty much had my drummers rig setup so I just went with that. It was his Peavey Ultra Plus into a killer homemade 4x12 loaded with V30s. I totally forgot how much I love this amp. It just fit so well in the mix. Last night I really only used the yellow channel but thats really all I needed. It seems to embody all the things I like about the 5150s and Triple XXX. The only thing I hate is the footswitch. The damn buttons are too close together. I can't wear shoes when I'm using it. Even with my Chuck's I still end up hitting buttons I don't mean too. Anyway, after practice I would shut up about how much I love it so the drummer offered it to me for $350. This is awesome because thats the price I paid for the one I used to have and his has new tubes in it too (SED 6L6GCs and Tung-Sols)! I think I might have to pick it up. Then I need to find a way to solve that foot switch issue. Enough talk. Here is the one I used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly he makes good switches, but apparently it's a matter of when/if you get it. No personal experience, though. I know it's the same story trying to get one from Peavey though.

I've heard that. My g/f has one of their switches for her Valveking. The switch is solid but it took forever to get. I'm not sure what other options there are, however. The amp is next to useless too me unless I can get a different footswitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta turn my foot to the side to hit the buttons. Same here. I have to you my big toe to switch between the clean and crunch channels on the Ultra. The damn button is in the center.
