Peavey Rage 158

It's good for home use, but not too great for performing. I blew the speaker almost completely out the first time I used it playing live. I mostly play metal and acoustic (interesting variety) and it does a pretty good job at both. The distortion (VERY light overdrive) is pretty weak, but it was kind of cool having it when I first started playing. I think it's cool whoever designerd it put in a headphone AND line out jack. This is good for recording and stuff. I just wish it had more distortion and wattage. I dunno, at least upgrade the thing to having reverb with more wattage. The one I have was apparently upgraded to 50 watts somewhere down the line. I got it used, so... I need a new speaker badly.

I mostly play metal and acoustic so it varies a lot.. but even after the speaker got torn, it still sounds great. I just can't turn it up really loud like I used to. I wish it had reverb. It can take a beating and still work great. I dropped it from about three feet up onto concrete once and it still worked fine. It's a nice clean sounding amp. I don't use the overdrive on the amp beacuse it's too wimpy, I have effects.

It works great and can take a beating and keep going.

I would definitely buy it again.

Two Channels, Headphone Jack, Hi-Mid-Low adjust, other than that there is too much fancy about it.

For a cheap, little, extremely portable amp, this sucker gets the job done. The clean channel is nice, good reverb, minimal distortion at high volume, The distortion has some balls (keep in mind its only 15W) I like the punk sound it creates.

Only had this amp a few weeks, no troubles yet, I'll let you know!

Bought used, came with one one warrenty form dealer never needed to use it, as for Peavey themselves, I have no idea.

Good Practice Amp, Good Practice sounds Extremely Portable, (which is what i was looking for)

Channels are'nt bad ,the clean is nice,the distortion is grungey.Not a whole lot of power,but it's my first amp,and it's good enough for bedroom use.

Distortion is not devastating,but effective.Not a whole lot of variety of sounds,settings do little.

Never a problem,has'nt blown up on me even cranked up to ten.

All I know is that I don't know nothing.

Good for beginners,pathetic for pros.Never use this for a show or anything.

This amp's got clean and distorted channels. This is a practice amp so you don't get an effecs loop and all the fancies.

It has a decent clean sound, for a practice amp, but in the distortion channel is a bit noisy, good for punk sounds. It's loud for its size.

I've had problems with this amp, mainly the input jack, but it corrected itself. Reliable as a first amp.

Never dealt with them

I wouldn't buy it again, get a good 20W Crate practice amp,

This is an ok amp for the new guitarist. It has volume, pre, post, low, mid, and high knobs to play with. There is also a CD/TAPE in so you can jam along with your favorite bands.

It sounds pretty good for a cheap amp. When you turn up the volume with a clean signal it gets a little muffled and seems to loose its tone. But with distortion it is the opostite. The louder you go the better it sounds. The distortion is great if you like the punk rock/garage band type sound.

Very dependable

This is ok for the new guitarist. It servers it's purpose. I can't see anyone holding onto this amp for more than a year.

Solid state, 2 channels (clean and distortion), 3 band EQ, and not much else.

Bad bad bad. (This is admittedly an old pre-Transtube model) The distortion was hideous, and everything sounded tinny because of the tiny 8" speaker. It wasn't too bad using a Marshall Guv'nor into the clean channel... until I heard the Peavey Classic 50.

Only had it for about a year, and it never had any problems in that time.

Never needed it.

For a first practice amp, it did the job. It's not the kind of thing you can gig with, though. If I had it to do over, I'd have paid the extra cash and gotten a Marshall Lead 12 ministack instead.

Pretty versitile Amp, lets me play clean when I want, and dirty when I want. it has 2 channels, both sound good, except teh clean channel gets a little dirty at high volumes. it has a headphone jack, and a cd\tape line in. it has 15w of power. it is good for playing in garages, and basments.

it works great for punk, what I mostly play, but sounds good with other types of music too. The distortion only gets better as you crank the volume, but it is weak if I try to play quitely.

The amp is not strong enough for gigs, it works well in smaller rooms. I have had the amp for 6 months, and it has never broken down

Never had to deal with a warrenty so I don't know.

well for the price I paid I like it more than any of the other Amps I tried. If I had more money I would definetly have bought something more powerfull
