Sonic Youth on stage at CBGB, either 86 or 88

actually I think Lee may have a Roadmaster and Thurston has a Rock Master.

all I can tell you, having seen them around this time, is they were very. very. very. very loud.

Got this guy new in 1993. Been with me through good times and bad. Always sounds great. It is wonderful for playing around the house and a monster when plugged into a 4x12!

I bought an ultra 112 last year and have been itching to try one of these conversions.

It took me awhile since im not a wood worker at all. I had to get some tools and clamps to even get started. My mentorship was an obsessive period of scrolling thru youtube videos and the woodworking subreddit.

Anyway, some things don't quite line up, i need to touch up a spot or two and i have some ideas on how to improve the next design if i decide to do this again.

The matching cabs are silverstripe peavey 112sx's. The bottom cab has an eminence swamp thang, and the top one has a celestion g12h100 ( predecessor to the k100 i believe )

This rig sounds immense for metal. I'm entirely giddy about it and i can't wait to crank it at the next jam!

The original combo box is still intact too if i ever want to put it back in combo form.

I bought an old Peavey 2x15 off this guy and he threw in a rehoused amp with it. Hey said it came out of a combo found in a barn.

One of the transformers is stamped “EJ-175” with a serial 682 441. The other transformer is harder to read best I can manage is “xJ-35” with a serial “683 x47(?)”

My best guess is a Peavey Vintage after searching the transformer, though I don’t know if there are differences in the models other than speaker configurations.

Just curious to figure out what I can about it, date it, possibly work on a bit of a repair (it made sound last I checked but was severely red plating).

Would love to also find a better way to rehouse it because this “shell” is pretty jank.

Looking at a full set of great condition Sheffield 1200s. Are these the good ones people talk about? Guy wants $100 for 4

Could be dumb, could be stupidity, will be loud…

Orange micro dark (yummy/filthy tube) into a Classic Chorus 130 (yummy/loud clean)?

Diagrams and ridicule welcome!

Weird amp. Got it for $20, owner thought it was broken. Some Deoxit and elbow grease and we’re back in business.

Peavy Bandit Silver Stripe vs Peavy Ultra 112

I mostly play shoegaze and sludge metal so I need something with decent clean headroom that sounds good with decent volume.

So I posted here a few days ago about a pawn find Peavey Bandit 65 Solo Series, and got a lot of good feedback. Amazing group!

So this is just an update. I cleaned it out and had plans of cleaning her up extremely well, but...I found a Peavey Classic 50 4x10 and I fell in love. It's perfect for what I'm currently recording and shifting funds over that route.

I did open the Bandit up, cleaned everything on the inside, deoxit on the pots, the whole 9, but I veered off course and got "creative on some of the external shortcomings of this Bandit. Hit it with some rattle can I had from a previous project, but...I believe she looks decent. The red pops and added some TOAN GLYPHS on the Scorpion. Cleaned the cone and all the rat poop out. Put her back together and ugh...she sounds good. The sound from these amps is crazy. So I have her close to my Valve King and TWD guitar I picked up at a pawn too. Yes, I'm a Pawn Rat. 🤣

So now the question I have for y'all.

I hear a lot of y'all talk about colored stripes. I jumped into the Peavey game when they had the Delta on amps and cabs I used for DJing. Man, I love the equipment that when I jumped back into guitars...and found this sub, I had to start collecting. I'm just not too sure about the colored stripes. Teals, Red, Silver...Google states something about years, but I believe it's a little more than that. Would it be an upgraded version of a model or a better equipped model? Say Reg Mustang to a Cobra variant?

Again, I want to start collecting and I see old Peavey's that y'all post here, at the pawns for cheap, I just don't fully understand the whole stripes thing. Any knowledge would be great! thanks in advance!

I don’t have a monthly lockout to set it up though

The blazer is my bedroom practice amp, musician half stack lives in my garage because it's too heavy and loud for basement/garage shows. The bandit has been plenty loud for the shows my band has played so far, but we're playing an outdoor stage at a bar on saturday so I'm bringing the crate 412. Bandit 512 stack is a fucking beast
