Members convexstone Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Gain: Not too dry, not super saturated, warm, perfect combination of vintage and modern gain and tight, absolutely NO FUZZ/ BUZZ. Cleans well by rolling back volume.Bass: Deep, no mud.Mid: Open, warm, some aggressiveness, not sterile.High: Smooth, warm, not sterile.FXloop.I need tones ranging from mellow bluesy/jazzy to hard rock almost metal.

Thanks y'all! I've never played a Reeves, but I would HIGHLY recommend you get the Dual Channel if you go with a Peters. The Clean Channel is great. Read the descriptions at James' site. His descriptions are one of the few out there, that you can trust to be accurate. The clean channel has high headroom, even when you set the dirt channel the way you want at comparable volume. You can also set it for some nice mild classic od stuff. The selling point of the amp for me, was the gain channel. But the clean channel doesn't get talked about here, and it should.

Members cobrahead1030 Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 Sounds like a Mk III or IV to me. except once ya get the gain up there they don't clean up too well with the guitar volume IMO...you can get some cool gritty tones that way, but it's not that kinda clean you get rolling back the volume on an old marshall or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rockapede Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 I almost feel like an idiot posting this among all of these high $ recommendations, but I think you would enjoy a Peavey Classic 50 (head, if you can find one).

Members sinnerx96 Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 yeah, I bet the clean channel is awesome, but if I get a single channel gryphon I can have an excuse to get me another amp for clean stuff;) It's only $300 more. If you're buying a Peters and a Reeves, $300 shouldn't be a stretch. You'll thank me later. Do you live near Jersey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mpdan Posted December 6, 2007 Members Share Posted December 6, 2007 I've not played some of these amps mentioned here....but.. The Bogner Shiva EL34 might be something to check out...A lot cheaper than the XTC classic. It has the nice low mids of a boogie, but the marshally type of break up. I've really enjoyed getting to know mine. I've had it for about a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
