My SVT-CL had been collecting dust for months, left at home while lighter amps were hauled out to play. I'd even been thinking I might sell it since it wasn't getting much use. Then last night I decided to take it to rehearsal -- and damn! She's not going anywhere!

Then again I'm only 23. I may have to take back that statement in 20-30 years. |

The Spastic Jerk reaction when I scare the snot out of our drummer with an open E string thump....Priceless. |

Barely used, in brand new condition with custom neoprene cases. Fits in a Subaru wagon to boot! I own a few other Rigs as well, some of which most likely will be up for sale. The SVT is the Cat's PJ's.
Shake it easy all - DM

But for any other time, yes. |

The Peavey is a BRUTE - whether shredding a room, or your back. Sometimes I think they'd still be in production and high demand if they came equipped with casters and a pull-handle. But then, lifting it to put atop a 810, the dream vanishes with a poof.
Man, I love those things! |
