Clear and concise without a lot of yacking, and clear demonstrations.. with just the right amount of information. Well done young man! Thanks for your work.
Absolutely!! Glad you liked it.
just bought one of these bad boys second hand. you've probably save me between a month and a year of dialing it in. very helpful vid, thanks!
Awesome, that is the reason for my vid, glad to hear that!!
Thank you for the suggestions and the experiment. Good to show the different guitars on different settings. I have a Peavey Rage from the late '80s, I'll try out some of this. Ten cool points for the TOOL shirt, too.
Awesome, glad you liked it! Let me know how it goes!
Cool demo/tutorial Bryan. I'm going to pick up a Rage for my 14 year old son tomorrow and this has been really informative. Like your style . . .
Glad it was helpful!
OMG.... everything you said was true for me as well when i was a kid. I was always disappointed running stompboxes and digital fx thru this very same amp on the clean channel!!! Damn that low gain lead channel is a revelation... after 15-20 years geez!!!! Thanks brother!!!
For sure my friend!
Wow this was great. I litterly had this amp and the metal zone as my first set up as a kid lol and experienced the same thing you outlined. I still have both and now i want to dig them out and give the lead a shot for old times sake lol cool to still see this amp around after so long.
I owned several Peaveys including a Rage. I always think they did a fine job of creating a tube-like distortion and good clean tone. I gigged with Peavey Bandits, Classics, etc. I also love the DiMarzios. I find they always seem to work well with Peaveys.
Thank you for the tips, awesome tunes and playing. I have the Blazer, same as the Rage with reverb. I gutted the reverb from the circuit board and patched in a bigger reverb tank fitted inside the bottom of the cab. Used sensibly I think these are great little amps. Good luck with the channel.
Thank you! I love these little Peaveys
I used this amp in lead channel and a tube screamer with gain at 1 and it's surprising good. I used a EQ pedal to tame the high and it's very more pleasant to my ears.
I replaced the speaker with a Celestion Eight 15 lately, still in the broken in process. But the Blue Marvel sound good too, very similar to the new eight 15. I will see when it's broken in 😁🎸
Sweet, I’ll try that with my Ibanez mini TS!
Thanks, mate! You just saved me a lot of time of trial and error. Awesome review!
Awesome man
Thank you thank you. I’m new to electric guitars. I got me one of those Peaveys for $20 second hand. Now I can get reasonable sounds for practice on a budget.
Glad it helped!
Still have this little beast.
Cleaned up the pots and it sounds great after all these years !
Dude....I'm not much of a metal guy, I'm more of a David Gilmour/classic rock guy, but I do have a red stripe rage so I gotta say, great informative video man. & You Rock dude! I'm seriously thinkin bout trying some metal!
Thanks for this one....just bought one at a yard sale for 20 dollars.i plugged it in my telecaster and works pretty good man......has fender tex mex soooo yeah awsome...
Great steal!!
Oh man I had a rage older than this as a youngling. I hated the damn thing. I got better tone plugging my guitar straight into an old home stereo amp from the 70’s. Which surprisingly actually worked and produced a very unique gain I’ve not replicated since. I accidentally blew that stereo amp up at some point in the early 90’s.
My first “real” amp was a marshal valvstate 2x12 which was ok for a short while until I finally afforded a real tube amp.
You kids coming up today have so much better cheap options for decent tone than us dinosaurs did.
Keep rockin!
That is probably the coolest thing ive ever heard, crazy that a home stereo gave a great tone
But you never played through a Tube Stack Gorilla?
_tsk, tsk, tsk_
@@illbeinyourband the old stereos from the 60s & 70s were actually all tube based and many of them had 1/4” inputs labeled “instrument”. Plenty of guys from the bell bottoms era played their SGs through their stereos. It’s no wonder he got a better tone from those stereo tubes!
Sounds great!! And yes, a little treble goes a long way on these amps. And sounds excellent through the 2x12 cab!!
I just got one in really nice condition and for me and what I want at home and it sounds great!
Love these vids bro!
Appreciate it!
Great review,
Thank you
Great video man, this will help me set up my rage 158!!!
How’s that amp treating ya?
Good man, hard to believe for how old it is!
My first pedal was Metal Zone back in 1992. I played all 80s metal with it.
I just picked one up today! Thanks
Enjoy it man!!
Nice one. I’m nearly 61 and bought new guitar strings the other day. So gonna get this old Peavey out and play again
That was very informative. I’ve used a peavey like that before but never as good as that. I thought your guitar work was excellent.
Thanks a lot for the support!
I really appreciate this videos like these that save a person a lot of trial and error.
I do gotta say tho that "sanctuary abandoned" kinda reminded me of the (original 1995) "doom" video game song in a weird way. But perhaps that's this amp makes me think of the 90's. 😂
Doom is so metal! That’s a great compliment.
@@illbeinyourband I meant it as a compliment. I am glad you took it that way.
The doom music, I think ,was the best attempt as metal sounds as they could get on early sound cards. Metal is what they were aiming for. And it was a kick ass game!
I have that amp. The guitarvi use is the B.C. rich warlock avenge series tuned in drop D. I have it hooked up to a MOOER GE100 guitar multi- effects processor.
The first distortion pedal I owned was a DOD overdrive preamp fx50( still have it today), but I use the MOOER now.
Now, I'm trying to work out a high-pitched feedback squeal. 😫🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing the video. Ypur playing sounds great
this was really useful, im a beginner so i had no idea how to use my amp. this video is really underrated
I have 2! Haven't used them in over 15 years, also my first amp (s). Not sure how I ended up with two of the same amp to be honest. I loved having it though it was a huge step up from having no amp, guess I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I pulled one out of storage recently to gift it to my nephew who's been getting into playing guitar
That sanctuary abandoned tune was pretty baller
Thank you for the compliments! And that’s great that you were able to share the love! I also gifted my first one back in the day!
Más de 4 años y hoy ya se como utilizar la pedalera. Gracias
De nada!
Great rundown on that amp!
Thanks man!
Awesome video!
i recently tried this amp again, was my first amp when i first started playing guitar. Boost the lead channel with a boss sd-1 and it sounds great for metal
hi mate, great video, i really liked your advice of using the distortion in the lead chanel, i was wondering how did you put it through the 2x12, how did you conected it?
That last original was awesome!
Great vip how did you hook up the larger speaker thanks a bunch,I'm starting guitar at 60 years of age I'm a truck driver so I can bring my ax in my amp in the truck and practice lol plus I have an old TV mixing board a 700 XR from the 80s when I was a kid like 18 years old with 2pairs of 3way pa speakers mics and all.or can I run from the amp headphone jack into the mixing board hey thanks a lot that was a really great video thanks Ray
The Steve's Special is a great pickup if you want to use tons of gain and keep clarity. The PAF Masters are about the best thing if you want to retain the woody mahogany tone of a PRS/Gibson style set neck without getting a bunch of muddy mids. It keeps the warmth but also has great brightness and clarity and harmonics. I'm not a fan of throwing high output pups in mahogany set necks and these are vintage output.
Good job !
Had one but my old roommate killed it. Went to guitar center and picked up a used red stripe 112 bandit for 120$. Now I still suck but 10x louder!
As long as it’s fun! That’s my theory at least 😅😅
I've just got my hands on an old Transtube Blazer 158, which seems to be the same as a Rage 158, but with reverb. Thanks for the demos and showing me how this little amp can get a fuller clean tone. I'm predominantly a clean tone player, so your demo and advice is greatly appreciated. I would have written off the drive channel had I not seen your demo. Thanks again.
PS Do you have the tab for some of the riffs and pieces you play please?
Awesome man, I’m so glad my video could help out a bit. How’s the reverb on that Blazer? And I do not have any tabs :)
wooo nunca se me ocurrió utilizar distorsión con con el lead activado, eso me hubiera servido mucho saber antes jaja
Same here, but it’s so much better!!
I used to use a DOD Death metal through mine. Sounded insane.
Try using the MZ pedal with an amp that has an effects loop. That's where it shines!
I have seen the Ola video!
That’s a killer tone on the lead channel
Thanks!
That MT-2 combined with the rage makes for a pretty TRVE NORVEGIAN sound
\m/\m/ so brootz
Sanctuary Abandoned sounded Lowkey awesome!
Thanks 🙏🏼 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I use a really woofy fuzz face clone my friend made, and I find the opposite of what you found with the MT: it sounds best in the clean channel, maybe I'll upload a video. I don't quite have your playing chops though lol. I am also intrigued by using it as a head for a cabinet
I’d throw out the rule book when it comes to fuzzes, they behave so differently than overdrive and traditional distortion!
hey man, nice tips, but how about single coil pickup like stratocaster guitars experiment with that features, can we put it in same act?..
I did a whole video with a cheap strat copy on it! Check it out! ruclips.net/video/mEK1jJOl5JY/видео.html
I have a problrm i think cause i use the same amp and the metal zone i must use it on the clean cause other wise creates a terrible beep
I am probably the cheapest guitar player in the world, I own 1 Schecter, and 5 chinese copies of strats, sg, lp, etc. I find half the fun for me is fixing em up (I think I keep wilkinson in business lol). I only have the rage 158 as an amp. Been currently experimenting with an amp modeller run into the Aux input. I am getting some pretty good sounds out of the thing but was wondering if this is another way to get past the odd clean channel brightness or if I'm shooting myself in the foot.
Do you know the year of your 158?
I picked up the same exact model today for $34 but the sticker with info is missing and I know very little about them.
This one works fine so far.
Thank you
Clean sounds like a 80s reverb/chorus tone.. I like it actually 🤣. Nice amp
Nice Review
Thanks 🙏🏼
Hi, i’m new into guitars and amps, i wanted to ask if this amp is good for Thrash and Black metal
Hm2 pedal on clean is CRUSHING on my rage 158
I bet! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
How did you plug it into a cab? Mine doesn’t have an extension speaker output.
I just want to know how to turn off the reverb
Very good.
Thanks for checking out the channel. Rock on!
Do you know why when i play both at the same time the G and B strings they sound very bad ( with Distortion)
Hola, una pregunta, alguna vez cambiaste el speaker (blue marvel)? talvez con cuál lo recomendarías cambiar? Actualmente tengo el peavey rage 258 de 15 W
I have heard that a Celestion or Jensen is good, but I really don’t know anything about 8” speakers!
Like the shirt man! Rock on
Thanks dude!!!
@@illbeinyourband happy holidays to you too buddy I wanna learn so you just earned a sub!
That is awesome, thanks! More great content planned for 2022. I’m hitting this hard!
Im looking to buy this amp for 60$ off the internet. I've got a fender strat and just wanted to ask is this a decent amp for practice. Is yours the 40 watt, thank you...
sounds amazing through the 2x12!
It really did. I would use that tone live or in studio!
How did you connect the two? I have a Fender Champ 100XL with a power amp input, wondering if I could run line out to it..
@@illbeinyourband is it an 8 ohms cab ?
It had a selector for 4 ohms or 16 ohms, I set it to 4 because it was closer to the amps speaker which is closer to 2 ohms.
@@illbeinyourband ok so the cab was surely loaded with 8ohm V30's
How did you hook up to the cabinet??
Well done, mate! How did you hook the Rage 158 to the Bugera 2x12? I ask you this because the Rage does not have a speaker out.
I simply disconnected the speakers leads, wrapped a wire around each of the two connections, and then ran each of those wires to the tip and sleeve of a speaker cable. Very temporary!
@@illbeinyourband could you explain this conection in a new video? please this will be so useful for many people.
Does yours also provide some nice background hum or is it just mine
That was my first amp too.. Didnt know that time that I would never be able to turn the volume knob to 12 o'clock or higher because its so loud.. Not a good overdrive sound at all, and no reverb.. Looking back it was just a big obstacle and not motivating at all to practice guitar
I can agree with you there, but with some experience under my belt, I found it to be more useable than I remember from the early days
Hola, como conectas el amplificador a la cabina 2X12?? Tengo una cabina 1x12 se puede conectar?
Hola! Speaker cable wrapped around amp output to the 1/4” speaker cable
Dudester. Cool metal tune your sanctuary abandoned. Not bad. Just sayin'. peace from mtw in L.A.
Thanks man!! It’s got a lot more to it. I should do a vid
Is it easy to conect ext cab and how?
This maybe true for your amp, but whats mote important is all of these amps are a little different. They all have a 'sweet spot' that you find by zoroing all the comtrols and one at a time running them min to max until you find about a 25% range where the tone/volume changes the most. Set all your controls in the sweet spot and work from there, not trying to make it do something it doesn't want to.
I've had a few peaveys I've chopped into heads or run through my 412 !!!!
You saved my amp from the garbage
it thanks you and I thank you too
Lol it being the amp or the garbage can?! Haha!
I use a boss ds-1 on my rage and it sounds just fine tbh, I really just wish this amp had better sustain
Maybe it’s the guitar? Or a combination
Get a compressor pedal
It must sound awesome combining this little beast with a dimebucker pickup
Yeah, I can confirm! I have a blazer 158 (same as rage 158 but with reverb) and a guitar with a dimebucker, it's awesome!
Great video ! I own a rage transtube 258 and I am thinking to upgrade the speaker. It comes with a blue marvel 8 inch 8 ohm speaker. Could I put a 10 inch speaker if its still 8 ohm? Will that blow up my amp?
If it’s the same ohm your amp will be fine. The speaker just may be too big to properly sit or screw into the back but yes if it’s 8ohm just like the amp then you will be fine.
Is that a 8 ohm or 4 ohm speaker? From my understanding, a 10" speaker will JUST fit in the cabinet, but it's gonna be cramped!
I just replaced the Blue Marvel in my own TT Rage 158 with a MojoTone AV8C 8", 4 ohm speaker; DEFINITE upgrade!!!
@@BobBlec thank you for the comment. I tried to put an old spare stock 10” speaker I had from a Fender Super Champ XD combo and it just barely fit but I later found out it was an 8ohm speaker which means it wouldn’t have sounded right in my Peavey Rage 158 which requires a 4ohm load. Now I have a better idea what 4ohm speaker I could possibly get to upgrade the stock speaker in my Peavey Rage 158. The other guy needs to make sure he is using an 8ohm speaker for his Peavey Rage 258.
4:54 sounds good if you're going for a 90’s black metal vibe 😂
😅
My first amp 2001 😍
It’s a good little amp!!
Acabo de comprar uno de estos de segunda mano y tengo Chorus y Delay. ¿El distorsión suena mejor en este amplificador con el Delay?
Otra pregunta, veo que este Amp. Suena brillante al equalizarlo, ¿Recomiendas no subir tanto los controles o se dejan lo más estandar posible? (Nivel 6-7)
I haven’t used delay or chorus with it. Play with all the controls and see what you like! I found the best sounds with the EQ closer to 12:00
Hola. Tengo el mismo ampli, pienso que tenés que venderlo lo antes posible. Es imposible de ecualizar, tiene unos agudos insoportables que te acuchillan el tímpano. La única forma de "calmarlo" un poco es como recomienda el creador de este video, cambiando el parlante por uno de 10 o 12". De todos modos, no me parece que valga la pena la inversión.
Great recommendations. Fuckin thanks
Fuckin… you’re welcome!!
What is a better amp Fender or Peavey amp and does the Peavey rage amp have 2 channels?
Can’t speak to any fenders as I’ve never had one. The Peavey rage has 2 channels but there is no footswitch, it has a throw switch on the front.
but the tip to use dist on the lead channell was great!
Awesome glad to hear! Im hearing good buzz about the CD Input too, but I haven’t tried that!
Would have liked to hear the Peavey with the bass rolled up. 'Been thinking about asking for a little Peavey for my birthday.
I have a big Peavey I use for bass. A dude brought a Peavey 158 or 258 to a band practice and it was SO loud for it's size. Good memories. He was a low distortion player. Played Badge by clapton, stuff like that. Cool dude.
Anyhow Cheers! ps: if you have a band why not record a rehearsal and post it! All good. mtw in L.A. 90230
Cheers, thanks for the comments!
I have an older rage amp and with a digital effects processor I get some great sounds I use my Marshall for large venues but have actually used the rage in smaller Venus and it does the job. You have to adjust the tones and effects just right to produce a good sound. Don’t think you actually learned how to use it.
I put celestion g8 vintage into one of this little suckers :)
Awesome. I bet it RAGES!
@@illbeinyourband uhh... My literally BLAZES :) Because it's BLAZER :) But doesn't matters :)
@@Leemuzhko haha. Nice. They both PEAVE me off
i just bought a marshall avt4x12 and i don’t have a head yet, how do i run my peavy rage 158 through it?
What I did was cut a speaker cable open, and clipped the two wires to the output cable leads of the Rage.
@@illbeinyourband oh boy
Thanks a lot.
How about plug metal zone into cd input ?
Lol. I did NOT try that, but I think you might be an evil genius.
@@illbeinyourband i think it likes plug preamp into amp loop return ?
Sounds like burzum around 5:00
4:47 my head exploded
🤭🤣
How did you use an external cabinet?
Regular old speaker cable wrapped on the amp leads and the 1/4” cable to the cab
I just snagged one of these for eleven dollars. Now I can't wait to run it into one of my big cabs. My guitar instructor has a Rage people use during lessons. He fondly refers to it as the Peavey Snit.
I really like the way a Peavey Rage sounds. It's a shockingly good amp, even. However, I go for trashier, rawer rock sounds. I've got a twisted fascination for obscure no-hit wonder mid 60s Brit Invasion-influenced rock, my fave examples sound really crude and I guess "ineptly produced", but since my tastes are the way they are, this sounds great to me. Maybe if I were into Pure Prairie League instead of The Sex Pistols, I might dislike this amp. lol.
try to put metal zone on the cd in. I Think will escape from pre-eq session of the amp, and goes straight to power amp section
And how it sound ?
@@upside-down6211 when metalzone goes direct to de power amp, he sounds better most times
Awesome. I will have to try that. Thanks!!
he have reverb?
No. The Rage does not have reverb. The Blazer has reverb.
He does not
You really never just said "well, the Clean channel didn't work, let me try this pedal on the Lead channel?"
Rule number four when using these amps: when adding breath to your sound.. Use good mouthwash so that you don't add bad breath to your sound
When are you going to do more Metallica covers?
I know Right! Hahaha. I am going to get back to my Kill Em All instructional videos, then perhaps we'll see about Puppets.... Just trying some different types of stuff out, see what sticks! :)
@@illbeinyourband omg yes I can’t wait! Master of puppets will definitely be awesome. Hey man you doin good, keep up the grind!
Slow down seek and destroy plz
I am gonna get to that in a few weeks!! Hope you will watch.
You may send it away, but it’ll be back…
Not all the 158s have the modern. I have one and it has all black (no blue) on the backing of the face with the control's basic controls on a strip below where your Rage strip is. and the with names and levels in white only. I believe mine is a previous model. I hate the lead channels as the only way volume is controlled is on the instrument. ruclips.net/video/n-AWVDkA98E/видео.html
Oh wow, I knew there was a quite older version than the red stripe ones I’ve played, but never looked at them. Thanks for the info!
Is he saying wood makes a difference in how an electric guitar sounds? It only effects sustain. There have been tests here on YT form pros. Don't buy into the hype.
Hey there! Though I did mention the wood of the guitars, I didn’t say that. I said some guitars are brighter and some guitars are darker.
That being said, I do think that playing electric guitar is not just about the sound captured via microphone but is a culmination of a lot of factors that contribute to the feel of a guitar, which is translated by our brains into the whole experience. Peace!
