Members Deuterium Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 How can this be? Who is buying these amps? Is this a conspiracy? Why the {censored} does Peavey discontinue great products like the TubeFex, the RockMaster, the Ultra...yet somehow the Wiggy remains a viable product? Something is very wrong, here.

Members peavey_impact Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 I think they look cool as shit, but I've never played one. I heard they are good for getting notched zappa-type tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jds22 Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Agreed. I've never ever seen one in a store, even stores with a lot of Peavey amps. Beats me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tinwhisker Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 mod one. it will destroy you. That would have to be a re-build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heath Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 That would have to be a re-build You talking about the 3 channel all tube preamp or the tube head bearing the same name? The preamp was and is great. Designed by the same guy that came up with the JSX, the Ultra, the Classic 30(50,etc), the 5150, the Butcher and VTM.

Members DeathMonkey Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 For a SS amp, the Wiggy is pretty cool, on par with the XXL, one of the better SS amps out there. But THIS is the real deal: http://www.speedsteramps.com/home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ComingApart Posted April 17, 2008 Members Share Posted April 17, 2008 a local music store has had the same Wiggy half stack since it was first released. (how many years has that been?)Everytime i would go in there, they would have a "special" lowered price on it.I went in a few months ago and it was gone. I asked a salesman if they had sold it, he said they just finally moved into the back because it was in the way on the floor.Looked cool.Sounded like a generic SS amp, nothing worth commanding the stupid price they retail for.
