Peavey should have a photo of the mighty chode pride of place in their head office. A great reminder of who they work for.

I wonder if @BbbyBld has seen the chode?
I think @Bugeyed Earl still has the pic around somewhere....
Good question, I hope it's on the break room fridge at Peavey...
Genz Benz GBE1200 with an NX2 212 and a Carvin RL210.
The Carvin sounds like crap and can easily get blown up by the GBE if I'm not careful (as a matter of fact, I murdered my Carvin 15 that way a couple years ago). It's only ever used when I really need that extra bit of displacement because my drummer doesn't understand the concept of dynamics.

There's a guy selling a BW peavey combo for 150... Should I buy it up and recreate this?
Careful, you'll bring out the Relic Police with talk like that. Of course, all surviving TNTs are already relics, so it's fair game...
Naw, there can be only one CHÖDEHAMMER.
We'll see if Peavey agrees when the 2017 lineup is announced. I don't like to spread wildly bogus rumors, but I may or may not have been in contact with their marketing team regarding an officially sanctioned Chodehammer rerelease. Still working out the details with the engineering team about getting the odor right, it has to have the proper blend of nag champa, black mold, and exotic cheroot...
Once upon a time my main rig caught fire. We had this empity BFC sub by peavey went to a club that owed my sound guy a favor. We stole/acquired there 18 sub speaker out from under the stage. Loaded up the cab. On top I ran a dod crossover as a a quasi pre into a 1972 Yamaha stereo amp with the right channel blown. The thing toke 2to carrier and if you weren't carful when hooking it up it would shock you. Once it got me so bad that I pisssed my self and couldn't talk for about 20 minutes
1: Is it a TNT 130? Merely being a Peavey combo does not get you there...
2: Why pay 2-5x the going rate? Shopping in the right price range will save you a lot of distressing you might otherwise have to apply to a pristine and relatively pricey Peavey
Where I am, no working combo with a 15" driver sells for less than $100. The going rate is usually more like 200-250, so 150 isn't bad.
I've just assembled a Carvin/Peavey mutt rig myself. It's a Carvin R600 bi-amped into a peavey 1820. Weighs approximately one million pounds, not super ugly but does have some stank on it!
Here's my jankity jank practice amp, It's a rogue RB-120BT head that I cut up and modified to fit on the side of a home theater sub box with a 20 watt rogue speaker in it. It sounds like a dying cow.
I'm done. This is the jankiest thing I have ever seen.
As far as janky goes, you are truly a legend! That is so janky it's cool!
I don't know if that's so much of janky as it is a mini rig of doom!
I remember using that cab in the 80's. It was Godlike! Shook walls and took two men to move! LOL!
