Peavey Audition 110

1998 model amp, 2 channels clean and dist. footswitchable (20.00 option) hp, ext speaker, cdin 1 input jack.25 watts 1 10" speaker. Transtube technology. Numerous features for a practice amp.

I use a fender standard strat and tele, american made, conventional pickups. LP copy w/ 2 p-90's. I am a marginal six string player and play bass much more often. As a practice amp and for the low cost it suits my playing ability. Sounds best with the tele and lp copy, and great with my acoustic/electric. all practice amps distort at hig volume. Clean is great for rockabilly reverb is strong. Distortion is average for a solid state practice amp. it sounds better than the fender sidekick and most other 10 to 20 watt amps.

Workhorse, as are most peavey amps. no problems noted.

Peavey is always great and quick to assist.

I have been playing bass for 30+ years and six string a short time only. I have 3 bass guitars, All fender inc a 61 p bass, 73 p bass and 2001 jazz bass. I have the 2 fender american standards mentioned above (strat and tele) the les paul copy and and an acoustic/electric by St. Louis Music (faamous for ampeg) bently guitar. A samick strat copy. A minx 110 peavey bass amp, a fender bassman 100 bass amp and a fender squire bp 15 bass practice amp, a fender sicekick 10 watter and a pignose classic, and a peavey blazer 158r. numerous effects pedals and zoom 504 and 708 processors.

I bought one in 1999/2000 from a friend that worked at a music store, so the price was wholesale. As far as features go...it's limited: a clean/dirty switch, 3-band equalizer for lead, CD and headphone jacks. Standard low-end trans-state Peavey offering.

Clean channel sounds OK, but the distortion is worthless. Plus, the amp tends to hum occassionally.

No probs.

n/a

Been playing for 4 years. I'm getting a Fender...

Maybe late 90's, its discontinued. I bought it new on close out. Other reviews cover features, but the feature that makes this amp worth it's its weight is the CD/Tape input. Plug in your guitar, plug in your headphones. Then run a cord from your CD player output to the CD in jack in the amp. Turn everything down, then CAREFULLY set levels. Suddenly you are jamming with Johnny Winter, and noone's calling the cops.... you can really get an idea of what kind of touch you'll need to play loud with this feature- You should buy it for this alone. (Warning- use your brain in setting levels, you can hurt your ears...)
As others have said, it is not loud enough to play in a club, competing with drums and a few other 2x12 or 4x10 type amps... for folk or acoustic it would be fine...

I play a les paul and an SG through it. At certain volumes it gets all kind of sounds, it has high-mid-low eq and reverb and an overdrive channel so its got quite a bit of variety available. Miked or for recording it's one of those amps that you go "wow, that litle things making that noise?"

Solid as a rock

I certainly like their website.

You're probably buying used, if you're looking for a first amp for a garage band it might not be loud enough (unless you bought two and stacked 'em) but for the CD input for learning and practicing with the pros, you gotta get this amp. Get this for your bedroom, and shell out another $200 for a used 50+ watt 2x something Peavey solid state- Tube-shmube, you aint rockefeller, you just wanna blow-

Amp was made in 99. I've just upgraded from the Peavey Rage 158, only because I got a great deal on this one. Two channels, clean and lead. Reverb, 3 band eq., headphone jack (a must for practicing at home), cd/tape jack, external speaker jack, and a remote switch jack. 1 10" speaker 25watts, plenty of power for practice, I don't turn it past 4. I should say it is one of the transtube series. The only thing I don't care for is the power and channel switches. Never had any problems with them yet but I've seen the new models and they have upgraded the switches.

I use this amp at home only and it suits me just fine. I play an acoustic electric with a piezeo pickup and a mim Tele. Both sound great. I don't use it past 4 that is plenty loud for me. There is a little noise but I was thinking about changing the power cable, it doesn't have a ground terminal. When you touch the strings most of the noise leaves because you become the ground. I like country and classic rock. I don't use the distortion.

This is the second Peavey I've owned and they seem to be very well built. I guess you could play it at a gig thru a PA system. Never had any problems with either amp.

N/A

If it was lost or stolen I wouldn't hesitate to buy the same model. I've been playing about 1 1/2 yrs. I play acoustic/electric and Fender MiM Tele. I like it because it is well made and it has a sound that I feel is great for home use. I had compared it with Fender practice amps and I felt that Peavey was superior.

Don't know the year for sure on mine. It has input, 2 channels, pre, post, cd input, treb, mid, bass, phones out, and remote switch. I read the last three or four postings before mine and kinda feel sorry for stupid people. You pay $50 for a practice amp and expect it to sound like a Line 6 or tube amp???? Hello!!!!!!!

This is a PRACTICE amp. If you buy it with that in mind you will absolutely love it. If you're wanting the sound of a tube amp or some other $400 or more amp, save up your money so you won't have to pretend it's this PRACTICE amp that's making your lack of practice sound bad. I give mine an easy 8, keeping in mind that the category of rating is PRACTICE amp. :) Did I mention I use it for a PRACTICE amp???

I have a Epi Dot, Westone SX, and run an effects loop through my laptop sometimes. I find that if I play around, I can get almost any sound I want. That's what makes it a good PRACTICE amp. About the only thing I don't like about the amp is the reverb. It's really weak, but, then again, when a good reverb pedal will run you at least $30, do you really expect an amp in this range to have awesome reverb?

Well, the day I bought it, I dropped it. LOL It don't get beat around too much with me; but, so far, there have been zero problems.

Bought it used. If it went bad, I'd just buy another small amp.

Have played piano for 23 years and guitar for 1. Overall, I have loved this little amp. I bought a Peavey Blues Deluxe when I learned what I liked in sound, and learned more about tube amps. This is a great amp for just playing in your room or learning how to play the electric. Again, it was never meant to be a gig amp. For what it was designed to do, it's an easy nine. If they would have put a little bit better reverb on it, I'd give them a 10.

basic, 2 channels, eq, reverb which isn't that good, and the lead isn't usable

i used to think the clean was pretty good, but then i played through tube marshalls and fenders and got a pod, and i see that the "transtube" is bullshit, it sounds really solidstate and harsh and shitty. the distortion is awful

fine

sucks, save up and buy a tube amp or a line 6

no one mentioned that when you don't use the lead (distorted) channel, and use a distortion or overdrive pedal, to makeit sound 100% better all you have to do is turn the "pre" and the "post" all the way to 10. It gets rid of thehigh-end fuzz sound..idon't know why, but it does.

this little amp is great!( you can see the features from other reviews. ) this amp is very versatile. this is mainly a practice amp but you can perform w/ it if you mic it. this has the best sound i've ever heard on a little 25 watt practice amp.

i play w/ a fender standard series squire(which is a great guitar) which runs through my crybaby wah, on to my dod fx69-b grunge dist. pedal,through my dano chorus pedal,and finally to my peavey audition 110 amp.great great great sound!this amp has great variety.

it's a tank
(nough said)

don't know about support, great web site however.

great great great great great great..................................

transtube? It doesn't sound like anything even remotely akin to a tube amp. 2 prong outlet-- bad-- no ground.-- static.
reverb aint so good.

Don't know the year it was made...
I play little clean but mostly hard metal so this thing is weak as hell for what I play...the distortion on this thing sucks...and it's power is minimal cause it is only 25 watts...I'm trying to do this from memory since I haven't actualy used this little piece of crap in about 1 year...I blew the mosfate chip in the damn thing so I got rid of it...I tryed play with a drummer and had to turn the thing up all the way all the time, but had no other choice.

I played mostly with a fender strat american standard on clean since the distortion is weak as hell like I mentioned...

Damn thing broke on me after about a few months...what the hell did you think I'd give it?

I'd give it a o but I can't go lower than 1...peavey is located in Japan...0 customer support it would have taken like 3 months just to mail order the part I needed to fix it

I've been playing 3 years and played seriously on about 7-8 amps...of it's size and price...this thing is the worst.
