Peavey 1820 dimensions

[insomniac2295]

Looking for the dimensions on the Peavey 1820. I'm thinking of getting one, taking the tolex off and doing an oil finish on it. I want to know the dimensions because I'm also thinking of getting a Bag End D12-D cab to go a long with it and I want them to be about the same width so it looks good cosmetically.

Anybody own one that would like to measure it out for me?

According to my Peavey catalog from 1987, the dimensions are: 26"W x 36.5"H x 20.25"D, weight 93lbs. Don't be too surprised if it's made out of MDF and not plywood.

I've got one from the original owner that came in on trade. It's a nice rig, but awfully heavy.

Those dimensions look correct.

Weightwise, I seem to remember my 1810s being about 112 lbs (1981-2) and the slightly larger 1820 to be 122 lbs. Going to my 98 lb. 410TXs definitely shed some weight since I had to carry them up and down 15 steps.
No MDF...they were all plywood.

I have both... currently. The 1820 is a cool cab but I REPLACED it with a Bag End D12.

(my pair of 1820 are in storage, but in the way and need to go)

Having dragged one-and at points, two-of these up and down the road for some years back in the day, I'll say this:

doesn't matter much what the dimensions are, they're big heavy bastids!

They are not worth their weight in tone, there are many, many better ways to get good tone to size/weight these days.

If you just gotta have it, then, there ya go.

The 1820 was my first big cab, and while I certainly miss the sound, I don't miss the back pain.
