I had one of these back in the 80's and I thought it was great. However, when I started playing smaller venues I sold it. I've regretted it ever since. I recently got another and I am overjoyed at the sound it has. Pure clean which takes pedals better than anything I have ever seen. I run it stereo with 2 4x12 cabs.

The quality of this instrument is excellent. You'll have to go to the custom shop to find better. I picked it up from a friend who had it hanging on the wall. He said he traded for it. I pulled it off the wall and started playing it. In 5 min I knew it was going home with me. I have changed the switch and the pots with Emerson stuff; this woke it up even more. The pickups have that nice p90 tone that you look for in these. I have considered replacing them, but then I play these and stick with them. They fall in the range of a classic p90 from the 60's (yes I have played some on Gibsons). The finish is an eye grabber. The neck is just not too big and not too small. The only noise I get is hum from the pickups, but that's classic p90. Great buy!

This thing does it all. All tube El84 x 2 12ax7 x3 Every sound there is is here. I play it through a 2x12 or a 4x12 cab most of the time. The original speaker didn't do It for me so I put in a creamback. It can produce cleans in the Fender style with no problem. The spring reverb is excellent and has a classic sound. This amp can produce Marshall sounds and has been called a "stack in a box". I've played it next to a vox top boost switching back and forth with an aby switch and prefer the sweeter sound of the bravo. The vox seems harsh by this amp. The push/pull knob makes this thing go to another level of gain. I don't use it much as it is not my style. I mostly play it clean or with the gain on the dirty side at about 3 as it gives a great blues sound this way. Now remember, I've changed the speaker and play it mostly with a 2x12 cab. This my be the best all around amp Peavey has ever produced; IMHO.

This was given to me as a gift. I liked the sounds, but the pickups can be a little hot for those who want "that Gretsch sound." I changed the pots right away and put in a tone bleed. Made a huge difference. It did come with a decent setup and plays nice. 4 of 5

Much has been said about this, so I won't cover what has been said. The older version is what you want. It is the standard in clean amps having been used on many recordings that you hear. The older one was extremely clean with no background noise. I point this out as I also owned a newer one. It developed a small hissssssss as it got older. My amp tech told me this was due to lesser quality parts. He was able to make the repair, but it never lived up to the older one. It takes pedals extremely well.

Wait, did someone underprice this by accident? Crisp highs, booming lows, clarity without getting mushy. I've played much higher priced guitars that don't come close to this. It is bigger that most I have held, but it is comfortable any way. I got this while on tour and everyone in the band wanted to play it every chance they had. If you can still find one go get it.

This is a good guitar that with a few changes can be a very good guitar. It has tuning issues because of the nut and Bigsby. I changed the nut to bone and put a roller bridge on mine and it holds tune now. It plays well and the pickups are the best part of this guitar. They can give a wide range of tone from clean to classic rock. There is no humm from them that I have found. The pots are good but could be better. This guitar is heavy. If you play a long time it will let you know. It seems to be balanced toward the bigsby. It is really worth the time to own because of the tone. If you can get one, you should.
