It's light. Very light - I'm a bass player, I live on the first floor, my amps live on the 2nd floor, and as I get older I wish I'd taken up the flute! It is extremely easy to switch channels in a Peavey Rage 258. The switch from clean to lead and vice versa is quite smooth. This is a great benefit for the beginners as they can have control over their sound. This control over one's sound becomes essential when performing in a group or a choir.

The Peavey Rage 108 is an older model Peavey amp that was one of their first attempts at a cheap and portable amplifier. It has 2 channels, a shared EQ, and auxiliary and headphone inputs too. It puts out around 10 watts of power and is driven by a single small Peavey driver. There really isn't much to write home about with this amp, it just is what it is. Nothing really remarkable, just what is needed to get the job done. I like the size, and the quality of construction. I already owned a larger Peavey amp (Ultra 112) so I knew that Peavey made a reliable product. Another type is the Transtube amp, an establishment of the Peavey brand. It is a solid-state amp but sounds almost as good as a tube amp. It is a good match for beginners who do not wish to delve deeper into advanced music.

It is what I've seen called "Silver Stripe", I think. Peavey Rage 258 is an excellent amplifier in itself, but it is not necessarily the only one. If the features and benefits of Peavey Rage 258 do not meet your requirements, then there are several other alternatives available in the market.As far as Silver vs. Red Stripe, they are very very close. It will probably boil down to which one you can find in better condition at a better price. The Peavey Rage 258 surpasses its predecessor, the Peavey Rage 158, in terms of power output. Rage 258 provides 25W power, while Rage 158 provides only 15W power. Pros The paramount determining factor in selecting the right amplifier is the sound that it produces. If you do not have a powerful amplifier for your church choir, the essence of the service and the soulful music might not reach your audience. Hence, you need a strong and affordable amplifier to get the work done as per your requirements.

As for which Bandit is the best value for the money, it really depends on what you're after. I started another thread to help identify the different types of Bandits and how they've evolved over the years:Personally, I did not like the Bandit and others taken to China. I don't have to hear anything about them being the same. I've been a Pvholic longer than most of you, before you were born. My problem is American jobs. The XXL was the one that really made a hearable difference to me immediatly, with Peavey's constant improvements. So your best liked can be any them. but the XXL has the most and latest improvements. Best overall. Try them out. So what I do not understand these integrated amps that go a CD, is that there is no volume ddi so that the CD is bottom power, unless it ' is a player with volume or output phone. This type of circuit is an advantage because the sound released is free from the annoying ultra-high frequency. The music is without any rough tones. It is rather smooth and pleasant to hear. Lightweight and Portable If i'm not going to get any parts from PV, ( guy from sweden realizes TODAY that's how you write Peavey when online ...) then i'm gonna try to deassemble/hardwire a reverb pedal as an effect in the loop, INSIDE the amp. I'm waiting to see how it goes, because the original blazer config has got to be the cheapest and most reliable.

If you are looking for an array of in-built effects and easy USB connectivity for audio recording outputs, then Fender Mustang I V2 is just the right fit for you. It comes with reverb, delay/echo, tremolo, phaser, and other effects.I gave the exact serial numbers to peavey, that should be an individual number containing the epitet, mark III version of these. So i'm actually starting to doubt the support, since you tell me that mine is the III. Pointy logo, red stripe. Oldest redstripe? quote="dalrymple"]I vote for a 75-100w Vypyr 1 series. The switching? Really? I've gigged with Vypyrs since 2008, and I have never had a situation where the switching was an issue. Not 1 time in 8 years. Maybe I'm just old and slow, but it never seems much different than any other amp. Maybe I'm just well timed. Dont know. We are not a waltz band. I tinkered with the effects loop you and i talked about, and sure, it works. I actually don't OWN a reverb pedal. I borrowed one from my brothers friend to try. I haven't drilled any holes for "send" in the chassies yet. I would buy a different amp. A Kustom or Ibanez or Orange or almost anything but a Rage. Other Peavey amps are very good, but this one is not that great. I'm gettin NOWHERE with the reverbparts. The swedish retailer is simply ignoring me, not even telling me off! No answers at all.
