Members chucks888 Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 My first guitar was a Peavey Predator AX (Made in US) before they apparently started farming them out to Korea or somewhere, not to mention change the design away from a 'traditional strat' Anyway, I still have it (it ain't worth much $$ wise I reckon anyway) and play it. So yeah, plenty of love here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaleH Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Just got this 80s Predator a couple of weeks age. Getting it tweaked in pretty good now. Think I may put some new tuners on it and maybe a new nut. Not a bad little guitar for $119.00 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaleH Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 Chucks888 did yours come with the tortuous shell pick guard? Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PolyFmorf Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm getting a V-Type with Floyd later this year. I loved the neck and sound on the two I tried in the stores. Unfortunately, they were string-throughs and I already have 2 string-through guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stingxnj Posted March 14, 2006 Members Share Posted March 14, 2006 One of the best sounding amps I've ever owned is my Classic 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added that when I swapped out the PUPS. The tech threw on some mint-ish vintage looking knobs, and I agree, it looks like it went through an extreme makeover or something, it looks beautiful compared with before. It came with a white guard stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bigGdelta1 Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 got a predator ax with the 4 single coils (replaced with carvin pups) and a delta blues 210. Live we use a pair of sp2s and a pair of peavey 18s and a 900 power amp. I live 5 minutes away from the service center and always get great service. The only bad experience I've had with peavey gear is a late 80s 241/4 tracer with bad fret wire (sliced a divot out of the fret during a bend).

Members guitarNed Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I have a Classic 50 212. I love it. Can't say enough good about it. I have two Peavey PA speakers. Bought 'em new a few months ago. Two 15 inch speakers in each, plus a horn. They are so good sounding that I congratulate myself every single time I use them. They were also inexpensive. The snots over in PA equipment or live sound or whatever that forum is called sneered at my proposed purchase, but they were wrong. I'm glad I ignored them. As for Peavey guitars ...well. I'm a Fender/Gibson guy, sorry. I'm sure they are very lovely and upstanding guitars, however. I just don't play them or own them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HighVolter29 Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I love my Peavy Ultra 112, it's just the perfect amp for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members haggardguy Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I really like my peavey prowler, its very similar to the valveking, its a great all tube amp for the low price I paid for it. I've also been gassing for one of the old adrian vandenberg models but I don't have the $ for one right now. The XXX and 6505 are pretty sweet too btw.

Members MDLMUSIC Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I own two Peavey amps that I gig with constantly. Special 130 that I traded a non-working Dean Markley for. Man, did I come out ahead on that deal. This is pound-for-pound the loudest amp in the universe. And the clean sound is pristine. KB-60 Keyboard amp that I use for both guitar and bass. I traded a used Peavey Bandit 112 for this one and have never been sorry. It has no distortion channel, being a keyboard amp, but it is powerful as all getout and does great as a bass amp for small gigs. When I got it the tolex had been pretty much worn off so I recovered it and, of course, I had to then rename it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fretmonster Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'll never part with my Peavey Delta Blues amp; it's a blues BEAST (great for rock as well). I came real close to getting a T-60 recently but ended up with a Telestar instead (the weight and thin neck scared me off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HamsterSandwich Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 Originally posted by haggardguy I really like my peavey prowler. I'll give that a + 1/2. I have a Prowler too and love the clean channel, but I've given up on trying to get a useable tone out of the lead channel. I think I'm just trying to make it do something it's not built for. I want a bluesy screamy biting OD, but it's meant to be more of a distorted rocker. I also have a USA made Reactor (Tele) and I love it. I can't imagine getting a better guitar for the insanely low price I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ramblin Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I've had a couple of Peavey amps in the past, but right now I only hav a Bandit 112. I use it for practise, and it actually sound real good. And of course, my old Predator.. No photos right now, something wrong with photobucket.com..

Members thieery Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 Hi, I've got a Delta blues (1x15") with 12AX7M (mullard reissue) in V1 & V2 and a Golden Dragoon in V3. A Lethal blues Amp. and the nicest clean sound I never heard. (associated with P90s a delice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Krashpad Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 I'm happy with my T-60. Lots of sounds and indestructible. At my show last night one of the guitarists in the other band was using a Classic 30, with a 2x12 extension cab (the club does not mic instruments). It sounded good.

Members jdjonsson Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 Crap, this thread is giving me Amp GAS bad. I dunno why. I want an all tube amp, and I'm starting to look at the Classic 50 with lust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members L6Sguy Posted April 14, 2006 Members Share Posted April 14, 2006 lots of love for Peavey. the classics/db are killer amps, and their PA gear will be around longer than boss pedals & cockroaches. while i dont dig most of their guitars, thats strictly on a cosmetic level, but i cant fault a single one i've ever picked up (starting 20-odd years back). go Hartley! curious pic of a '77 Earth amp.
