Peavey VB-2 vs. The World
- Thread starter pbillaa
- Start date
My Peavey Classic 400's power section is E-normous. I run a select few pedals as my preamp into the effect return and I can't see any amp being any better. PV isn't the "sexiest" but they are solid in every way. Just take the badge off and tear buildings down.
I was considering taking the badges off, but I think there is enough Irony and throwback in the rig to rock it proudly in my circles. In fact at this point I should rock the full stack.
Maybe get a peavey t-shirt and belt buckle
If the gear sounds good, that is what matters, not the badge on it. I understand if you're at the pro level, there might be some "gear requirements" to get the gig, but for anything up to that level, it's the sound that matters. I have a modified SX bass that I'd put up against any sub-$1500 bass, tone-wise.
I got the 15 for 225$
My question now is, do I get the 410, or another 115?
Do you have a way to try them out 1st?
Also might consider a 2x10 on top the 1x15...depending on power rating and sensitivity as to which will mate better with the 1x15...
Always wanted to try a VB-2, they seem so cool.
Is it me or is that 15 pretty huge when sitting next to a 610?

How's the tone of the VB3 compare to the VB2? The VB3 weighs like 40 pounds. How'd they do that? SMPS power supply?
+1 I got mine on clearance from GC. It was a floor model and I got it for $499 with the full 5 year warranty. I thought I would use it for a while ,save some more cash, flip it for a profit and get a SVT.
Almost a year later I have no plans on selling it.
Wow, $500 with the full warranty? Talk about being in the right place at the right time! How do you transport it? Do you have a case for it? That's one of the things keeping me from buying a traditional "head" head; I'm afraid of transport damage. A flight case is almost mandatory.
I was thinking about getting a case for it but it sits on the back seat of my truck nicely, I just wrap the seat belt around it. Put it in a case and it will weigh as much as a SVT!
Unfortunately, that's the rub w/tube amps; they weigh a ton. Nothing sounds quite like'em though.
Good idea, I think I just decided to get all of the cabs. 210, 410, and the 215
they are so damn cheap

Mine brings the thunder with one 4x12. An almost unbelievable amount if thunder.

I love thunder, let the cab collecting begin

The silly, cartoonish Peavey logo is part of the charm, for me.
haha, that explains it! I was about to say, holy mega 15
Its actually a pretty big cab, I however can lift and carry the thing with one hand. Love them neo's
