Peavey Amps Club

Was looking for a new head and was not happy with what I saw so I took the old MKIV that was in pieces all over my work bench and put new tolex on it and sent it in for a freshening up. The only problem now is that my two 1x15 cabs need new tolex.

I still have my MkIV and 1810 cab I bought new in 1981. The head sits on a single 12" cab in my practice room at home and the cab stays at my guitar players studio so I don't have to lug a cab back and forth for band practice. In 30 years the head has been in the shop twice. Once to replace one of the modules in it, and once to replace the power cord. The cab I still use on gigs when I want a big sound but don't want to drag my full Hartke stack out. The 1810 being bi-ampable works great with my GK 800rb.
 
I have a Max 110 bass amp that sits at the end of my couch and is almost like one of my pets. It is a nice small amp that has a little growl and a little footprint and less neighbor problems.

I really like some of the tone out, but I can't get past 12 o'clock on the gain knob before it clips real bad. I think that is caused by the real hot signal coming out of my active Ibanez SRX.

I have hopes of upgrading and getting a decent head/cab setup for our practice site. Something I can leave at a friends house where we can get loud.

Can I join with my minimal investment so far?

Here is my "family photo" showing the MKIV on the left on 1810 cab. I put a black steel mesh grill on the 1810 so it matches the Hartke's. I sometimes use the Hartke 2.5XL on top of the 1810.

Anyone still giving out numbers here? I'd like one please.
 
I just looked through this whole thread and I can't believe no one has posted a pic of an bare bones, old school Century series head like mine. I love my Century 200 and I'll definitely be back with pics after I go to band practice tomorrow!
