Joint in hand, I walked to Wendy’s. Then I found this. Did some digging and saw it’s a highly regarded amp. Being the poor man I am, took it to ny garage and stored it for now. Now be honest, if even possible, how do I save it?
Hey there !! Recording some Heavy Guitar Riffs using my 27” scale length guitar: Esp Ltd M 7 ht Baritone Black metal loaded with a Seymour Duncan blackened black winter pickup into a Peavey Invective MH ( Misha Mansoor signature amplifier) and a Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier!! For drums I’m using GGD The Downbeat by Adam Nolly GetGood and Craig Reynolds!! 🤘🏼
Have a great Sunday everyone!!
Got this amp in a trade. I was told by a member of this sub that they only made the Triumph PAG 60 and that the 120 watt was the Ultra. Nope. This is basically an Ultra 120 on the inside but it is an actual PAG 120...
So I'm going to bring up a source of info that i heard after talking to very knowledgeable tech who is in his 70s
I was dropping off a early 70s head to be worked on and I got the info that early in the Peavey construction days they were using prison labor/workforce to construct/assemble their products
Now I had never heard this before but i somewhat did not doubt it upon hearing and I do not know whether other people had also heard this
It was explained that they/the company had a agreement with the state of Mississippi to keep costs down on their products
Thoughts on what this means to you or what you interpret
Left - Peavy Standard mk3 1981
Right- Peavy 240 1971-73
Hands down my favorite little amp. I love the idiosyncratic passive eq with the active presence, the bright and punch voicing filters, and that early 80's Black Widow speaker with the silver dustcap. But when you push it too hard, it gets a case of the toots.
I like practically everything I've plugged into this thing. And have tried quite a few drives on it. But I've never owned a straight up EQ pedal until I snagged an Ibanez BE10 in pristine condition. A halfway decent EQ pedal that operates quietly (if you're so inclined) and used in a specific way, really makes this amp roar. Like in a heraldic way. I want to put this shit on a coat of arms.
This is your PSA to get an EQ and try it with stuff.
This beast was delivered last Saturday but I had to leave Sunday morning for a week. Finally got home, cleaned all the pots and got it dialed in.
This thing rips! I had to sell my Supreme 160 and 4x12 a while back and Ive been looking for a more manageable replacement. My research paid off! This thing has that low end with a bit more in the mids.
It's a perfect pedal platform and while heavy, it's a lot easier to move.
I've been a fan of the 80's and 90's Peavey circuits forever. They sound great, are brutally loud and built like bomb shelters. 42 years old and no bad caps.
Does it doom? Yes....yes it does.
Decided to embrace ancient solid state transistor technology and mix it with some harsh noise and doom and I got to say I think this is one of the best amps that's ever been made. Peavey should reissue these completely analog
I posted a day ago that my solo project was going on hiatus. Not even 24 hours now that I go back and check 😭😭
My main and only amp I used for guitar on said project, my glorious 1980 Peavey Mace fried because my dumbass forgot to plug a speaker cable in when I moved it. I decided to switch to combos and began looking. I found this the same day, and I offered my MicroKorg, Hardwire Metal pedal, and Standard 260 non m.v. version. He said he needed time to think on it but agreed, and we met today (the next day). 50 bucks cash sold the deal, I still can’t beleive it man.
I've figured out some what using both amps and cabs, by running the triple x line out to the musician and the 6x10 (the triple x is connected to the 2x12) Is there a way to connect both heads and cabs without risking something frying out?
From left to right: 6505 212 (head conversion), Classic 30, and a TKO 80. The 6505 is my regular gigging amp. It is perfect for grindcore. I want to gig the Classic 30, but the opportunity has not arised yet. I bought the TKO recently to have a bass amp in the jam spot, but I actually love how it sounds with guitar. I'd realized I miss the feel of solid state on guitar.
Paid $400 for the 6505, $400 for the Classic 30, and $100 for the TKO. I have slowly accumulated these. The TKO is the newest. I am doing pretty okay for myself right now, but I am by no means made of money. I love that there is so much decently priced used gear right now.
Thanks for looking.
Should've tried better. Also, check my cvlty guitar rig!
Hey team,
I’ve got a classic 30 which is probably 20+ years old (which I appreciate isn’t that old for amps, just providing context) which has stopped working.
I was using it lastnight and the volume reduced but was still audible, then it returned to normal after \~30 seconds. It did this a couple more times and then stopped working altogether.
When I had the lead plugged into the amp but not the guitar, obviously if you touch that live end you get that noise but this wasn’t happening either, regardless of volume.
There’s a guy who’s happy to have a look at it for me but that will obviously be more costly than if it’s something I could fix.
Is there anything you’d suggest it’s likely to be please?
I've had this for years, and it's been played maybe.....10 hours?
Short story long, I was gifted a $100.00 guitar years ago by a girlfriend. I didn't play, so I started taking lessons, and after 6 or 8, I figured out I'd have a better chance at growing a 3rd arm out of my forehead. Whatever "it" is, I definitely didn't have "it." This, of course, was after I bought this amp.
I've done woodworking for......52 years now. To say that I'm familiar with woodworking tools, let's say we've met. I figured, how hard would it be to make a guitar? So, I did. It HAD to be the reason I couldn't play, right? It wasn't.
Anyway, this is old, made in the USA and it's really new. How much would it be worth?
Running these 3 cheap Behringers into a Bandit 112 Scorpion speaker, it rips (with a little bit deoxit)
The Blue Marvel in this Studio Pro is now a Blown Marvel. I'm taking advantage of this opportunity to try out a different speaker and would love recommendations to point me a direction.
My north star tone is Britt Daniel of Spoon. He plays Teles with a Klon through a Vox AC30. I have the Tele and a Klon(e). I'm thinking maybe a Celestion speaker could help close the gap for me as it is more British-voiced. I know it won't be perfect. But in general, I'm looking for something to play mostly Spoon-ish stuff with a bit of Kinks and 60s garage/psych mixed in.
Doug South at Dee’s playing with an All star lineup of some of nashville’s best, Zach Dubay (drums). Nick wells aka Doomfalcon (bass), Mike Drassler (pedal steel)
