Selling this amazing piece of Peavey history. This was Peavey's first tube amp, 200W RMS into 4 ohms with 4 x 6550's.
The preamp has two channels - the one on the left is a traditional passive tone stack with treble & bass, Hi Accent and Lo Accent, and a Presence control. The channel on the right has a three-band active tone stack. Both channels have a good amount of gain, and then there are the Overdrive jacks...
To use the Overdrive function, you run a cable from one of the Overdrive jacks to the input of the other channel, and that will run one channel into the other one. This is insane, and even the Bonekrushing guys will find more gain than they need here. Pity the poor bastards who bought these amps new, since the amps have no master volume from the factory! This amp is LOUD. I mean LOUD.
But you're in luck - some kind soul installed a master on the front panel years ago, and it's a post phase-inverter master so it doesn't mess with the tone of the amp when it's turned down. All the way up and it's pretty much out of the circuit. It's on the front panel, under the Middle knob on the right channel.
Preamp tubes are 3 x 12AX7. Phase inverter is a 6AN8A, and the power tubes are 4 x 6550, run at about 600V on the plates. The power amp is a lot like a Sunn 200S, and it sounds great. One set of power tubes is real GE 6550's, and the other set is some Chinese junk but they test good and sound great. New output tubes would probably do some good in this, but since I'm not keeping it I haven't bothered. The bias is adjustable, as is the output balance. It's a solid amp.
The amp is big - about 28" w x 14" deep. You can see it in the pics on top of my Ampeg SVT-1540HE cab (same size as an 810E) for reference.
The silverface 1x15" cabs aren't for sale right now unless you want to give me a lot of money.
Asking $400 and I'll split shipping in the CONUS. It's heavy, so I'm losing money on it - no trades, please.
