In the mid 90s, my friend brought over his 60s tiesco guitar (with eleventeen switches on it) along with his Rage 158. He then preceded to wow me as he cranked the amp to feeding back, picked up the amp, moved it around in front of his pickups, and then went wild on the switches that altered the feedback while continuing to swing the amp like a kooky pendulum of wonderful noise. My life was never the same since
13 years old me would slave this thing into a powered mixer into a big cabinet, with B-10 M-0 T-10 settings and the gain dimed. This was the most metal tone of all time, OF ALL TIME. You NEED to try it slaved into a big power amp and big cabinet.
I unironically love the Peavey Rage. It's surprisingly usable to me and it makes a great amp to blend into your mix and make it sound more unique. My dad used to use one as a talkbox driver on stage for 25 years and it never once had any issues
I just got the Rage and it's straight up better than my Marshall DSL or the Supro Blues King. No you can't compare it to a Fender Deluxe Reverb or a Mesa Boogie, but it's seriously better than any of the cheaper low wattage tube amps. Peavey Rage is so easy to dial in a good tone and it's more touch responsive than the Marshall DSL which I never realized was so over compressed.
The best thing about these amps is that the handle is the same part as on your 5150 and Ultra series amps so when your 23kg JSX has a worn handle you can swap it with the nice one from one of these lightweight combos, and the guy who buys the Rage from you won't even care.
The 90's transtube rage with the blue marvel is actually pretty killer. You put it up against crate, fender and line 6 15w practice amps and it dominates. Sounds closest to a "real" amp.
Yep that’s how they sound. I actually think these amps are responsible for a lot of the solid state hate cause everyone had one of these and no matter what amp they got next it sounded better…
PEAVEY NEVER DIES!!!!! I once watched a peavey head dragged 15 feet in the air after the chord got caught in the elevator doors during load out. We went home and duckt taped a new power chord on and it worked like nothing happened. Mighta even sounded better. 🤣
I use a teal Rage 158 as a fart around practice amp. I used to have one as a kid in the 90s. I still love it. Replaced the speaker on it for $30 and it's works great.
Dude, I soooo remember my first amp, circa 1985. A Gorilla 10 watt combo with one 6" speaker. It was absolute garbage and made me want to not play. In fact I ended up using it as a door stop and running a DOD distortion pedal straight into my stereo system. Which also sounded like ass, but better than the Gorilla did. This little Peavey sounds like $1,000,000.00 compared to what I started on decades ago. Fun video brother.
kyle!!! my first amp in 1985 was a peavey backstage plus, and it needed a lot to sound passable...graduated to a peavey renown 400 after, much better but still not great!!! cheers brother!!!
I had a rage 158, same thing just 15 watts, as my 1st amp. I have a newer transtube 158 now that I bought for like 25 bucks, neither of them sound good by any means but not as shitty as that thing. I think there is something wrong with it.
The Peavey Rage pre-amp is actually the basis for the new Fortin 'Apollyon' Don't get excited, it's already sold out, won't be released for another 2 years, and mine is broken already.
That was the first amp I ever had! I've actually been keeping my eyes open for one just for nostalgic purposses lol! Thanks for the video, taking me back to the early 90's
I just got a Peavey Rage 258 and it's straight up better than my Marshall DSL and Supro Blues King. It's no Fender Deluxe Reverb or Mesa Boogie but the Rage delivers awesome edge of breakup, heavy blues rock tones at reasonable volumes for home use without fussing around with knobs for hours.
i had one of those as a practice amp for a good ten years. found it curbside on trash day. it always worked and kept zero things between me and some music when I wanted to play.
I've got the teal stripe 158. Great little amp. This 108 might be a cool black metal amp though. You ended up getting a good sound in the end I think . Keep doing weird stuff like this man, it's interesting.
i agree, last sound is usable, i like som lo fi tones sometimes and i bought the rage 158 teal strip because of this video lol, i'm not kidding for some black metal is cool
I still have an old Peavey Envoy 110. The pots are scratchy and the input jack gets a little temperamental, but if I'm honest, it really doesn't sound bad. I mean both of my tube Marshalls kill it, but that's not really a fair comparison.
My first amp was a Peavey rage, and I was never able to figure out how to get it to sound decent, other than setting it clean and using pedals for dirt. I sold it eventually, and was using a headphone amp to split my signal between a kustom 30w guitar amp and 50w kustom bass amp. Which surprisingly enough, was a killer sounding setup, and I still try to get in the ballpark of that tone to this day. I got a vox valvetronix 2x12, which is terrible and I never play anymore, and a mesa markV combo that due to living in an apartment, I can't play often enough or loud enough to really dial in a great tone, even in 10w mode lol. That's what makes a good solid state amp so amazing, the ability to sound roughly the same at low volumes as it does cranked, even if you need pedals to get the metal tones some of us crave. I wish I'd kept my Peavey, and definitely wish I still had the kustom guitar amp(I still got the bass amp though!), but I'm a hoarder when it comes to gear, so I never wanna get rid of anything lol
I know you are just having fun, but remember, these amps paved the way. Just like line6 and Marshall mg series amps. All those companies were producing the best sounds they could, and cheaply.
The Rage 158 has two problems: 1) the 8 inch speaker; 2) a specific frequency that a noise pedal can attenuate. So, that amp would sound great if hooked up to that 4 x 12. Will you make a video of it, please? It will sound killer.
I think my older brother borrowed one of these from a friend in the mid 90s when he got his first guitar. I don’t remember how it sounded but it didn’t stay long before he got a silver stripe Bandit. My first amp (Squier 15G Dual Cascading Gain) was probably worse than this one. I didn’t care though because it had distortion and I didn’t know any better. You should try to get some Carvin amps on the channel. I used to have a Legacy 3 and it was pretty awesome. The X100B and V3/V3M might be ones you would also be interested in.
My dudes. Disconnect the 8" practice speaker. Wire in a 1/4 " jack. Plug into 4x12 . RAAGE like a stoner (clean side dimed is extra stoney, gain side is KILLER metal / Stoner Rock hybrid. If you use vintage 30's set high end lower than normal. I have a rage converted for my rackmount. Both it's preamp (headphones output) and power section (I have it wired to. 1/4" out) for practice / club use.
Fun fact, the Rage makes a really good FRFR speaker. The speaker is so cheap that it ends up sounding pretty flat! I used it to dial in my Helix tones for a while and they always translated well live.
Last week I picked up a Peavey Transchorus 2x10" transtube combo - 2x50watts and dual effects loops. Sounds really good and is stupid loud! It's a great clean sound, decent low/mid gain classic rock sounds. The high gain leaves a lot to be desired, but I have that covered with my 5150!
first amp was a Peavey Bandit 112. it got the job done... I couldn't tell you what it sounded like all these years later but I do remember using a distortion pedal and a flanger with it. As I recall, It was fine for the garage and for church ;)
I wish I still had my Gorilla GG10+ which was one of my first amps in the 80’s. I use to run it into a 1x15” from a bass rig and push the front end with an MXR Distortion plus. Not great for metal but it was pretty beefy for being a little 10 watt amp!
My first amp was a Peavey Special 130 with a 12" Scorpion speaker. It wasn't terrible, but it needed pedals that I didn't have. It was plenty loud for home practice use.
Wow sounds like I remember them! If you angle the input jack just right you can bypass the tone stack altogether! Jokes aside in working condition doesn't sound like this and that much i'll can say :)
Try disconnecting the speaker and go out of the preamp (with preamp out) to a clean amp or just return of another amp. The tone stack on these is pretty decent. Also try the Queen's of the stone age trick with ribbon mic.
It's actually a pretty decent amp. Best thing you could do is to swap the stock speaker and maybe give the thing a tune-up at your local tech. It's okay to have different tastes but I think the majority of folks who hate the thing don't know how to EQ worth a darn nor do they know how to get creative. There's also enough room in the chassis to install a cabinet/speaker output.
Hahah! Everybody either had one or knew someone with a Peavey Rage or Bandit. My buddy had one with a 12” speaker. Sounded awesome with a metal zone going through it.
I had a Blazer 158 way back in the day. It was basically the same amp with the addition of reverb. I can confirm, it was pretty terrible. It sounded the best when the power switch was turned to the off position.
Nah, dude, the whole problem is the speaker. I modded mine into a head and ran it through an ibanez TB412A cab and it was almost competing with my 6505 piranha tone wise. Ran the 2 in stereo with a tube screamer for the 6505 and an hm2 for the rage for a few tracks and it was brutal
I love all of their older combo amps. Some of them sound great, others sound terrible in a good way, but they all sound like Peavey. They will for sure out last modern civilization! All hail the classic Peavey! Haha
When I was in high school around 2006, our guitar classroom had about 20 of these amps and I remember them sounding much better than this. Not useable for a record obviously, unless I wanted an intro riff to have contrast from the main tone, i.e. the lofi trick, which this particular amp you demoed would be great for. But this was still a nice throwback for nostalgia lol.
I have a rage 158 i ordered a new speaker for it because the clean sound great but not the distortion it sounded like a bad speaker i hope i didn't waste money
I had one of these. Stole it from a "friend" when I found out he stole my Metal Zone pedal, lol. I couldn't find the pedal when he was passed out drunk, so I took this instead. I'm guessing he stole it from someone else, lol. It was an okay practice amp. Not much to work with, but I had an MXR Wylde Overdrive laying around so I put it in the chain and it added enough gain to make it usable for home practice. You're never really going to get a great tone out of an 8" guitar amp speaker, but I was able to get enough out of it to write and practice with at home. Of course, this was before amp sims really took off. Now there are probably 1000 options for home practice better than this one.
I had a 158 as my first amp. I very stupidly threw it in the trash after the speaker cone tore. I'm still watching Reverb adds to get another one for old times sake. Would def slap a decent Celestion in there though :)
My first amp! Had a HSS Peavey Raptor and a Boss CH-1 along with it.. 🤣 EDIT: Oh yeah it sounded bad, but not THAT bad. My input broke too some time around the Monica Lewinsky scandal, had a similar sound. I could totally nail the tone from NIN's "Wish" though!
Amp sounds sick, especially in the right context. Playing bland and dated thrash riffs through it and ripping on it for not sounding like a modern 100w tube head is absolute peak fucknugget type shit though.
My first rig was this pre-amp out into a Yamaha (tube) 2x12 power amp. There is something wrong with your rage 108. Mine kicked ass through a tube power amp. LOL
The newer redline models werent that bad. for bedroom jamming they do the part, wouldnt ever record or gig with it of course but for making noise, ill take it over a spider combo any day. I had a bandit 112 that was made in 07 for years, that thing was the best solid state amp i ever had. and the last one i had before i moved on to tubes. look into those. 100 watts of peavey goodness lol
In the mid 90s, my friend brought over his 60s tiesco guitar (with eleventeen switches on it) along with his Rage 158.

this is the best life hack i've ever heard, and i will definitely use this information

Yep that’s how they sound. I actually think these amps are responsible for a lot of the solid state hate cause everyone had one of these and no matter what amp they got next it sounded better…
I had a Squier 10 first, and actually saved up to get a Peavey Blazer. Once you're coming from Squiers, or Gorillas, Peaveys are like gold! 😂
PEAVEY NEVER DIES!!!!! I once watched a peavey head dragged 15 feet in the air after the chord got caught in the elevator doors during load out. We went home and duckt taped a new power chord on and it worked like nothing happened. Mighta even sounded better. 🤣
I am actually quite fond of these tones.
I miss your uploads, your channel is badass. Hope you're doing well
I use a teal Rage 158 as a fart around practice amp. I used to have one as a kid in the 90s. I still love it. Replaced the speaker on it for $30 and it's works great.
Your love of all things Peavey is inspiring! My very first amp was a Peavey Backstage Plus in 1988. Go Kyle!!
Dude, I soooo remember my first amp, circa 1985. A Gorilla 10 watt combo with one 6" speaker. It was absolute garbage and made me want to not play. In fact I ended up using it as a door stop and running a DOD distortion pedal straight into my stereo system. Which also sounded like ass, but better than the Gorilla did.
This little Peavey sounds like $1,000,000.00 compared to what I started on decades ago. Fun video brother.
kyle!!! my first amp in 1985 was a peavey backstage plus, and it needed a lot to sound passable...graduated to a peavey renown 400 after, much better but still not great!!! cheers brother!!!
Yet another great video demo. You make terrific vids. I'll be watching more!
Nearly every 90s kids first amp.
I had a rage 158, same thing just 15 watts, as my 1st amp. I have a newer transtube 158 now that I bought for like 25 bucks, neither of them sound good by any means but not as shitty as that thing. I think there is something wrong with it.

Don't get excited, it's already sold out, won't be released for another 2 years, and mine is broken already.
Why am I not surprised
My first amp was the Peavey Blazer 158 and I LOVED that thing.
That sound brought me right back to high school in 1987. Unmistakable.
It’s not broken. This was my first electric amp, and I knew then, that it sucked, thanks for the horrible but also nostalgic trip down memory lane.
That was the first amp I ever had! I've actually been keeping my eyes open for one just for nostalgic purposses lol! Thanks for the video, taking me back to the early 90's

i had one of those as a practice amp for a good ten years. found it curbside on trash day. it always worked and kept zero things between me and some music when I wanted to play.
Get about 50 Peavey Rages all plugged into each other for that huge wall of "sound".
I've got the teal stripe 158. Great little amp. This 108 might be a cool black metal amp though. You ended up getting a good sound in the end I think . Keep doing weird stuff like this man, it's interesting.

Well, hearing that amp has left me full of rage, so… it does what it says on the tin? Mission accomplished?

Haha my first amp, late 80's I think. Played a line 6 modeler plugged into the clean channel at a backyard party one time and was ok.
must demo everything, the riffs i hear in my dreams
If I remember well, it was one of my first amps in the early 80s? But it was pretty much usable only with pedals into the clean channel.
Intro had me laughing my ass offXD
I wish I still had my Gorilla GG10+ which was one of my first amps in the 80’s. I use to run it into a 1x15” from a bass rig and push the front end with an MXR Distortion plus. Not great for metal but it was pretty beefy for being a little 10 watt amp!
plug it in a 12" speaker / cabinet ! Sounds not that bad ! The clean is OK and the SUPERSAT stays kvlt !
My first amp was a Peavey Special 130 with a 12" Scorpion speaker. It wasn't terrible, but it needed pedals that I didn't have.
It was plenty loud for home practice use.
This has to be one of the best sounding amps you demoed on this channel. Going on reverb now to see if I can purchase one asap! 😆
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Still got the receipt $ 199.00 back in 1989 wow 34 years old and still works fine !
Absolutely amazing!!! My new badlander full stack is going up for sale and im getting this amp!!!!
Mine's been sitting in the basement for the last 15 years. Maybe I should try it out again one of these years.
Try an old crate amp with the volume cranked. Harsh AF rhythm, but single note leads actually sound pretty sweet.
Wow sounds like I remember them! If you angle the input jack just right you can bypass the tone stack altogether! Jokes aside in working condition doesn't sound like this and that much i'll can say :)
I'm so old that my first amp was a Peavey Bandit in 1981.
I remember seeing those Peavey Rage 108s at pawn shops in the '90s. My first amp was a Crate GX-15, which is MILES AHEAD OF THIS!
Try disconnecting the speaker and go out of the preamp (with preamp out) to a clean amp or just return of another amp. The tone stack on these is pretty decent.
Also try the Queen's of the stone age trick with ribbon mic.

There's also enough room in the chassis to install a cabinet/speaker output.
I don't see any reviews about current Peavey amps.Then again, I don't see any complaints about them either.
Hahah! Everybody either had one or knew someone with a Peavey Rage or Bandit. My buddy had one with a 12” speaker. Sounded awesome with a metal zone going through it.
Best bedroom amp from Peveay is the Vypyr in my opinion...I like the 6505+,Orange super crush and of course the evh iconic.
I had a Blazer 158 way back in the day. It was basically the same amp with the addition of reverb. I can confirm, it was pretty terrible. It sounded the best when the power switch was turned to the off position.
Can't wait for the Supreme 160 demo!
Nah, dude, the whole problem is the speaker. I modded mine into a head and ran it through an ibanez TB412A cab and it was almost competing with my 6505 piranha tone wise. Ran the 2 in stereo with a tube screamer for the 6505 and an hm2 for the rage for a few tracks and it was brutal

Peavey Rage 108 was my first amp. Got it for $50 at a pawn shop when I was 16. It sounded fine to me back then... lol
Haha…”angry broken bees nest”
I think it sounds bad ass but what the hell do I know???
SUPER SAT
great vud but that little amp kicks ass
I have a rage 158 i ordered a new speaker for it because the clean sound great but not the distortion it sounded like a bad speaker i hope i didn't waste money
I snagged one of these for my son to jam through years ago. I would boost it and I don’t remember it sounding this bad 🤣
I had one of these. Stole it from a "friend" when I found out he stole my Metal Zone pedal, lol. I couldn't find the pedal when he was passed out drunk, so I took this instead. I'm guessing he stole it from someone else, lol. It was an okay practice amp.

Sounds OK, not bad, in a mix you wouldn't notice. I really don't think its bad at all.
"Something doesnt sound right" you have the upper and mid EQ cut all the way down.
the amp actually was broken and needed multiple repairs..... so yeah.
I had a 158 as my first amp. I very stupidly threw it in the trash after the speaker cone tore. I'm still watching Reverb adds to get another one for old times sake. Would def slap a decent Celestion in there though :)
Ah you found one! My first amp. I have so much love for this machine. Yours sounds broken though.
Pretty sure that's how they sounded. Sounds very familiar.
Well goes to show how far practice amps have come.
My first amp! Had a HSS Peavey Raptor and a Boss CH-1 along with it.. 🤣
EDIT: Oh yeah it sounded bad, but not THAT bad. My input broke too some time around the Monica Lewinsky scandal, had a similar sound. I could totally nail the tone from NIN's "Wish" though!
I had a peavey backstage plus back in the 1980's 😂😂
Well, you got better recorded sounds out of this than the Diezel Herbert... Lets hear that Pre-out with a big balls amp!!
Ahh reminds me of childhood. (Heads to Reverb)
My first amp in the 90's was a teal stripe rage 158.
I had a 158 as my first... I quickly picked up a Rat pedal.
Amp sounds sick, especially in the right context. Playing bland and dated thrash riffs through it and ripping on it for not sounding like a modern 100w tube head is absolute peak fucknugget type shit though.
This is what peak fucknugget looks like. You may not like it, but it's the truth.
You need to clean the motherboard and the connections to the actual speaker and the PORTS and after you do that it will sound amazing
Sounds like a nice picnic amp
I had one of these back in 1993 or so. I can’t remember but I feel bad for my siblings hearing the awful sounds coming out of it 😂
Ah yes I recognize that fuzzy wall of fizz anywhere. Sounds like teenager band practice and fun jams with shit tone.
My first amp was a rage 158, was terrible until I got an Ibanez sound tank powerlead distortion pedal lol
Yeah it definitely doesn’t sound right. The speaker is holding on for dear life!😂
Kyle... could you review a Laney AOR series amp? You'll probably hate it... but it might make for an entertaining video :)
I've had one of these amps for a while And that 1 might actually sound better . Mine's OK for clean stuff though.
Give my amp back, you’re crushing my childhood memories! Also you’re out of the band bully.
You gotta try it with a 4x12 and then maybe use the preamp out
Yes bro. I own a Peavey Rage 108. 😅😅
Lmao my first amp back in the late 80’s. This takes me back! 😂🤘🏻❤️
My first rig was this pre-amp out into a Yamaha (tube) 2x12 power amp. There is something wrong with your rage 108.
Mine kicked ass through a tube power amp. LOL
How about the Peavey Rockmaster rack preamp next time?
Oh damn. That was my first amp back in the late 80's when I was a kid. Yup, that is how it sounds. Actually that one might actually be better 🤣🤣🤣
Perfect for the cliche lofi album intro riff! 😎😅
The newer redline models werent that bad. for bedroom jamming they do the part, wouldnt ever record or gig with it of course but for making noise, ill take it over a spider combo any day. I had a bandit 112 that was made in 07 for years, that thing was the best solid state amp i ever had. and the last one i had before i moved on to tubes. look into those. 100 watts of peavey goodness lol
Yeah...it's broken. I have a rage and a special 212 combo. Love the sound... on one setting . .
That was m'y second Peavey but 1980 not to bad sounding for a 8 inch speaker ,
So there was a Korean brand called Stone which looked like a Marshall MG. It sounded God awful but I had so much fun with it
Ya i have one still siting in front of me LOL ! And yes this sounds worse lets start with the jack !
Needs a metalzone to achieve it's greatness!
