Sorry for asking.
It's a simple question.
For those of you who have experience with both, I just want to know because the Ampeg IS an Ampeg after all, but I've heard of reliability issues with the Ampeg and the Peavey is $200 cheaper.

You want sensible answers, ask something. Even better, ask something sensible.

Look at GK, Eden, EBS instead. Yeah, right - that's the ticket. Or that SVT. But first, send me that VB-3 link and I'll see to it that it's removed. It's the least I can do as a concerned netizen. |

The O.P. is asking about these tube amps. Let's respect that this is an "okay" question". BIG difference beween these and tube pre amp section. Let's cut some slack.
My opinion is that I have no experience with either but I am interested in hearing from the Peavey camp..
Cool question.

Can't go wrong. I haven't had the chance to play the VB3, but a store that's local to me has one, and the guy says that these things are monsters. Give one a try and make your decision? |

What's wrong with the Peavey? Most Peaveys are very reliable and others are posting to say this one has good tone. |
