Brand new 15 watt practice amp-all SS Clean and dist. switch, reverb( sounds ok, not too deep, and screams solid state)
Low/mid/hi EQ.
Has a "Modern/Vintage" switch-the Vintage gives it a touch more brightness.
I wanted a small practice amp to keep in my living room-on wife's orders, it had to be small enough not to disturbe the decor, which i am fine with.
Sound Quality

Using a Tele, a PRS, A HERITAGE 535, a Gibson ES 125TC, all sound great. It is very, very quiet, no noise at all. Dist is ok, but I prefer the clean setting, with a touch of reverb. The EQ is useful, and the three bands come in handy. The dist. mode is pretty loud, the clean mode less so--no real surprise there. But the clean mode is very clean, and has a very nice sound. Verypleasant to listen to.

Seems reliable, but its not a tank-its only 120 bucks, so you get what you pay for. Just have it a few days.

Been playing 38 years. Compared it against a VOX and a Fender in the similar price range. The Peavey had more tone, and just sounded better. Chourus would have been nice, but again, for a $120????????
