It is a great sounding amp, and like most Peavey gear a real workhorse.

Too many, so I'll just show a couple of the less common ones...

Now that's a sweet amp .. brings back memories from the 60's. I had a 15" and also an 18" Ampeg.
I think between us we represent 2/3 of the X188s still in existence. Running JJ KT88s and ancient preamp tubes; sold the GEC KT88s it came with, they paid for the amp, cab, tech, new tubes, and a bass.And here I thought I was the only one left with a Sound City Head...
I knew if I were patient, I'd see this same picture again... And here it is. I have a question: Where can I purchase an equipment dolly exactly like that one. Big casters, a nice big, strong-looking platform.. and best of all.. a very practical, (telescoping?) handle.. I just don't care too much for the ones that Carvin are offering right now. Thank-you.

Guitarists just muck up the worksNice! Not a geetar in sight.
This is my new rig however I have just added a very second hand (ex festival backline) AD200B MkIII to the stable. Considering bi-amping

My wife really likes your rig.
Yeah, that does sound a little weird.
I was explaining to her the difference between a combo amp and a separate cabinet pre/power amp setup.
