    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.

  • @blznsaddles
    @blznsaddles 2 года назад +10

    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 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.

    @BazonBlades 2 года назад +2

    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.

  • @geraldrauch1701
    @geraldrauch1701 2 года назад

    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.

  • @KidNato

    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.

    @xb5883 2 года назад

    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.

  • @joefordish
    @joefordish 2 года назад +1

    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.

    • @brozio77
      @brozio77 Год назад +1

  • @wadeburgan1574
    @wadeburgan1574 2 года назад

    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.

  • @The_Masked_1der
    @The_Masked_1der 2 года назад

    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

  • @juanvaldez4043
    @juanvaldez4043 2 года назад +1

    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.

  • @DiegoAmbrósio-o6m
    @DiegoAmbrósio-o6m 6 месяцев назад

    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.

  • @brendanflaherty6696
    @brendanflaherty6696 2 года назад +2

  • @2Plus2isChicken2013
    @2Plus2isChicken2013 2 года назад

    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.

  • @calebneff5777
    @calebneff5777 2 года назад

    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.

  • @elihue_redneckreview
    @elihue_redneckreview 2 года назад

    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!

  • @yourguitarist
    @yourguitarist 2 года назад

    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 ;)

  • @steveo4253

    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!

  • @marcantoinetalbot

  • @TheCyberMantis
    @TheCyberMantis 2 года назад

    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.

  • @TheToecutter69

  • @SBanas
    @SBanas 2 года назад +1

    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.

  • @shanemichaelneal648
    @shanemichaelneal648 2 года назад

    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.

  • @michaelglass3993
    @michaelglass3993 2 года назад

    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

  • @eyeshredbmx

  • @kernelxsanders
    @kernelxsanders 2 года назад

    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.

  • @travisspaulding2222
    @travisspaulding2222 2 года назад

    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.
