Okay, to start things off, there's gonna be four new threads here. a mod can move them to their respective place on the forum, but i thought they should stay in the trading section, as people buy and sell guitars, basses, amps, and other gear, and would come here to review before they purchase. So to actually introduce this i'm thinking a few catagories and you give your rating on each, maybe a sentence or two, and at the end do an overall opinion on your Amp. Catagories Name of your Amp (not a category, but i am sure its a legitimate start) Price Payed: $###.## and #/10 New or Used: Combo, Halfstack, Fullstack Channels: Tone: #/10 Looks: Controls: # of channels, does it have an Fx loop, speaker out? headphones, ect. Modding: any modifications or tube changes you have done Durability: #/10 for all those abusers like me and finally Overall rating of Amp: #/10 I've decided to include cabs here. name of cab type model# ect. (say you bought the 412 for he peavey 6505 to use) Price payed: New or Used: Setup: 412, 115, all of those style, 4X12 and 1X15 are also acceptable Looks: carpet covered, tolex, stained, ect. There is a poll on the Guitar review on your opinions of these threads. please vote if you have not already

Peavey Duel Two Twelve Price Payed: $350? New or Used: used Combo, Halfstack, Fullstack: 2 12 combo, but ive got it on top of a 4 12 cab (see below) Channels: clean and lead. Tone: persoanlly, i really like the clean tone on this thing, very fender twin-ish. lead channel is overall pretty good, but im in need of new tubes so its hard to say how good it really is. 9/10 Looks: pretty snazzy. black tolex, metal grille Controls: 2 channels, fx loop, seperate EQs for each channel, master vol as well as channel vols, two speaker outs, one is used for the built-in speakers, 4, 8, or 16 ohm settings for exterior speakers. Modding: added wheels to the bottom, need new tubes though. Durability: very strong, you can tell because it weighs 5 metric tonnes. 9/10
Overall rating of Amp: 9/10
Peavey Windsor 4 12 Slant Cab Price payed: 200 New or Used: used Setup: 4 12 Looks: black tolex, black mesh grille.

Does it have an Fx loop: yup. Speaker out:yup, headphones: Yes Modding: No. Durability: 10/10 Overall rating of Amp: 9.2 A little heavy, great tone for the price, very durable. One of the best SS amps on the market. It's just not as good as a tube though.
