Peavy 115 300 watt combo

[prizefighter]

for $100 its has orange tolex and a black widow

should i go for it?

 

[Kitsapbass]

yes. Peavey's are built like (and are as heavy as) tanks. You can always repaint the tolex black. Spray paint is cheap.

 

[georgestrings]

Yeah, it's worth that all day long... Be prepared to move a heavey combo, though - it's no lightweight...

actually would this be enough power for a small gig when the other two guitarist are playing half stacks?

Depends on the guitarists - but in my experience, ANY 115 isn't enough against 2 half stacks... Now, add a 210 or 115 extension cab, and you should be just fine - if not, then the guitars are being unreasonably loud... If the guitars were playing through 112 or 212 combos, and you were gigging with a decent PA, then yeah - it would probably be fine on it's own...

Any way you slice it, for $100 you're not hurting yourself here - spend another $150 or so on a used cab to pair it up with, and you're good to go for any situation you're likely to encounter...

so i can add extension cabinets?

 

[whacker]

You can add an extension IF it's any of the Peavey combos that are actually called by model name, "Combo 300, Combo 115, Combo 210TX", etc. Or the last generation (with the red trim) TNT 115 model (but not earlier ones, which had no extension out jack).

The extension should ideally be rated at 4 ohms (because the internal speaker is 4 ohms as well, if it hasn't been fiddled with), but 8 ohms is okay in a pinch.

the peavy combo 115 has a 300watt to extension cab, get a TVX210 or 410 and youll sound LOUD

Owned a combo 300 for years in the 80's. I had a 210 cab and then at other times I used a moniter as an extension cab. The amp never let me down. Plenty of clean power, but it had its own tone that wasn't the flattest. Great for country type tones. I sold it when I started slapping alot.
