Peavey Appreciation Thread

Well, it's about time someone did it...

My name is MIG, and my first electric guitar was a Peavey Raptor. I have also owned a Peavey 1x12" cabinet, a Peavey 2x12" cabinet, a couple Peavey 4-channel PA heads (one used as a guitar amp!!!), and a Peavey PA monitor. My favorite solid-state amp ever is the Peavey Bandit series, from the old-school Bandit 65's to the new TransTube Bandit II's. And much love for the Classic and Delta Blues tube amps. Just today, I played a Peavey Predator HSS thru a Bandit 65 at a pawn shop, and was pleased at how most musicians won't give you a second look...

So everyone, fess up... there's a part of you that likes Peavey too! Or there's a few Peavey skeletons in your closet, at least...
...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    Nearly a year using the classic 50 combo and everyday day I love it that little bit more.

    Also Stone used the classic 50 head back in the day I think.

    My first bass was a Peavey Axcelerator Plus. I still own it, and there are many days where I prefer to play this instead of my '62 reissue Jazz Bass. A friend of mine owns a classic 50 head, and I'd buy it in a second if he put it up for sale.

    I also love Peavey T-40 basses (have been lookin for the perfect one for about a year now), and T-60 guitars. The guy I record with has two T-60's and I fine myself picking those up 9 times out of 10 to cut a track.

    Peavey is extremely underated, and its all because of the name!

    The 2x10 Delta Blues is awesome.

    I'm still playing my 93 USA Predator.

    I've got a Basic 50 as my clean amp at the moment.

    I kind of wish peavey would come out with a custom line and see what they can get out of thier better designs.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    I had a Peavey Renown 400 once. Somebody gave it to me. Pretty good for clean, like a Roland JC 120. I gave it to Ben Vaughn. He lives in California now, but travels back to the east coast every once in a while, so he doesn't have to lug his around.

    I appreciated it! I never really played on tour with it, but it kept me in good shape just moving that thing around the house!
