Finally got a matching cab

Got this Master Volume (?) Standard 260 this spring. Old Peaveys are a bit rare here in the nordics, so finding a 215 for my bass rig was a small victory! Its about as loud as my previous 810, and weighs half as much!

Im not sure what the speakers are. I was told theyre original, but theyre not the silver capped ones. Any idea what they could be?

Has anybody had experience with a special 150? How do you like it?

I’m trading my teal stipe envoy 110 and my backstage II for one and would like to know how good these are. I play pretty much strictly country with my telecaster. I really like the special 130s and am curious how these compare also

Picked up this teal stripe Ultra 60!

I have wanted one of these for years but they rarely show up around me or online. I finally snagged one and have added it to my Peavey collection. I have more Peavey amps but they are at my band's practice space.

This thing might have more gain than my 6505! It sounds gnarly! It's going to sound great in my pop punk band!

Anyone have any stories or experiences with the teal stripe ultra?

Are your T Series Pickups Microphonic from age?

Post image
100 Upvotes

This is an update from a post I made a couple months ago. My pups were super microphonic and so the throaty tone was something I couldn't get rid of and it was driving me nuts. Most people should know, but in case you don't, the T series pups (or at least the t-60 pups) were potting with epoxy instead of wax. After 40+ years however the expoxy can be prone to cracking, making the pups microphonic and noisy/throaty with higher gain. What makes repair for this pesky is that you need much more heat to soften the epoxy than you would for wax for a repotting job, so it's not very likely to be able to pull it off without destroying the rest of the components.

I was looking around to various pickup repair places to see if anyone could take this on and after a few rejections/non-responses I came across Arcana Pickups in Oregon who offered to try vacuum sealing the pups with wax to fill in the cracks in the epoxy. Ricky was super friendly to talk to and was very transparent that they had not tried something like this before and that I would be paying at my own risk. I figured I either get repaired pickups, or the pickups still don't work how i want and I end up replacing them with something modern. So i took the gamble. Mailed the pups to them, got them back a few weeks later, put everything back together and I can confidently say that it did the job and I'm in love with how the pickups sound now. Way less noise with higher gain and the throatyness in the tone is nearly completely gone and i have a lot more range with how i can eq them.

Tldr; if your T-series pickups have gone microphonic and throaty from age, hit up Arcana Pickups and they'll treat you right for less than $100 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Hungry for more 80s bass cabs

7 Upvotes

As the text says I’m looking to aquire more peavey bass cabs from the 70s-80s. I’m in the north Alabama area and wanna see if anyone nearby has anything they might want to part ways with. An 1820/3620 would be amazing but anything goes really. I just can’t get enough of this stuff.

got this back recently from my bass player after dissolving the band and forgot just how fantastic it is. I’ve never seen another one with this level of figuring on the neck, or with the pat. number stuff on the tip of the headstock. Its usually paired with my Ampeg B1/SVT410 with a JHS Colourbox in the loop.

What is the best / coolest Peavey guitar?

3 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy a Peavey guitar. The Retro Fire looks awesome, but I believe it’s made in China. Are the USA Peavey guitars significantly better than foreign made? What do you think is the best or coolest Peavey guitar?

Crazy Marketplace Find

Classic 50 4x10 found on fb marketplace for $300US. This thing is KILLER all on its own and so far is taking pedals like a champ. I’ll have to wait until the honeymoon phase is over to be sure but this might have dethroned my Fender Deluxe Reverb as my new favorite amp.

Looking for a new speaker for my Peavey

4 Upvotes

Title. I have a '90s Studio Pro 112 with a Blue Marvel in it. Sounds okay, but I find that it lacks bass, has a pretty muddy midrange and a piercing treble. It gets more egregious when I'm recording with it.

I'd like advice for a new speaker for it. I'm not too knowledgeable on amplifiers nor the speakers inside of them, since this is my first one, but I'm comfortable upgrading it myself.

Is the peavey raptor worth it?

4 Upvotes

I dont know if its the peavey raptor or the peavey raptor plus but I believe both are about $100 and if not like 80. I have one in my attic but at minimum its multiple days of hard work and gunk and filth I have to clean. Shit im already sick as fuck in my lungs and it has a moldy case. But anywase its a cheap ass guitar I could buy like new but should I try and get this one working again. Id love to share a picture of it but i don't wanna disgust anyone with what a person would do to a perfectly good peavey. My real question is are the pickups, neck, tuners, bridge, or tuning stability known to be decent. Im not looking for amazing just at least not somthing that makes the guitar seem overly cheap like a temu guitar or crappy 2000s guitar

Found both on facebook marketplace in mexico, first I bought the guitar and loved it, then the amplifier. I think the amp is in pretty good shape for being 32 years old, the analog spring reverb is amazing. Killer combo by the way. I'm looking forward to getting more peavey gear.

What did I do?

So, I found this Peavey Renown 400 in the local marketplace and decided to pick it up. It was priced decently at $300cad($210usd) and included the original footswitch. Overall it's in very good shape for a 40+ year old amp. I forgot how incredibly the cleans are one these 400 series amps. At some point I'll completely disassemble this amp and give it a full restoration. Unfortunately the back panel label is missing so I'm trying to figure out what year it was made.

Peavey classic 50 head.

Post image
92 Upvotes

I got this Peavey Classic 50 head (1999 made in USA) about three months ago for $200 bucks, from my neighbor. It's such a solid amp that I'm now considering selling my orange Super crush 100. I literally can't get over how great the lead channel sounds, especially boosted with any kind of dirt pedal.

My issue...

I don't need to sell the super crush or the cab, but I have OCD, and having too many things gives me severe anxiety.

Options:

  1. Keep everything as it is and just deal with it

  2. Sell the super crush and the cab (possibly purchase a small low watt tube amp with the proceeds, which would take up less space)

🤦🏾‍♂️

I’m a huge Skynyrd fan, and I know that Skynyrd used the Peavey Mace, but personally, I like the Deuces more. So recently I’ve been saving some money up for a Peavey Deuce, and I can’t decide between the peavey Deuce and Peavey Deuce II. Which one should I get?
