Anybody tried the new Peavey Max 158?

[medgeking]

Considering the Peavey Max 158 vs Ampeg BA108 and hoping to hear from someone who has used both or just the Peavey. I know the Ampeg is pretty popular and I might just go for it. However, I actually prefer the specs on the Peavey (onboard tuner, 1/8" input, lighter/smaller).

Let me know your thoughts . . .

The Ampeg is nicer. It has a Aux input and
a headphone out. The tuner on the Peavey
is fairly useless.

I found that the Max 158 actually works
better as a small practice guitar amp. I
sold mine for $30,

I've played both, but the older version of the Peavey with out the tuner. I was surprised by the Peavey, it sounded good for what it was and the knobs actually adjusted the tone when you moved them. It's a little bit smaller in size and is lighter.

The ampeg is a bit louder but I also thought it sounded better. It's a bit more $$ and larger in size and a tad heavier.

Depending on what your priorities are, tone or $$ either is a good way to go really.
