Peavey Session head and Peavey 410 TXF cabinet for a steal...whaddya think?

Sign in to disble this ad
So I found this rig on Craigslist and it seems like a good deal. I'm checking it out in person tomorrow, but I'm always curious to hear what other people think as well. Is the 410 a real pain to move around? I'm really small and I do have one of those hand carts (it's like a mini hand-truck, pretty heavy-duty) to lug gear, but weight is still a consideration. If this is something I'd be better off leaving at the rehearsal space, that's fine and I'll probably still take it since it's quite cheap, but I'm also asking about quality and durability. Peavey seems to build their gear like a brick sh*thouse, so I'm not too worried, but ya never know.

Secondly, the Acoustic head...how is it? I play an Ibanez SB900 which doesn't inherently have a lot of real boomy low end, so I have to watch that I don't end up with a really muddy tone. For the price I'm paying, I honestly can't complain or even question this at all, but reviews are always helpful. I looked around on this site a little bit but didn't find much on this particular head...so, any thoughts?

You didn't say how much they are asking. But basically, Peavey gives you much bang for the buck.

The asking price is ridiculously cheap...the seller is moving and can't take it with him. DARN! His loss. :-P

I bought the head and am holding off on the cabinet because I can't decide. I am very, very happy with it. The XLR output comes in quite handy, as now I can run it right to the PA and still have plenty of tone and volume control nearby. Hey, for $100, I can hardly complain, right? A+ on this one, Peavey!

Yeah, the faceplate is white and it has rack ears. Gigged with it tonight, it sounded great...I'll check out the manual, thanks!
