More of Tyler on the channel please. Dude is cool af and his studio is great.
Seconded! Video was way too short!
Yeah he’s the kind of guy we all want to jam with. And he has so many cool toys!
@Kyuzo -I love Larkin Poe! Went crazy when they redid Bell Bottom Blues. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!
Seconded!
Andrew Masters has a studio walk thru w/him, well worth watching if you enjoyed him here.
Now that you've embraced Peavey, I'm looking forward to the "I was wrong about tube screamers" video.
Never gonna happen, I’ll die on that hill.
Why does it matter if one guy doesn't like tube screamers, tone isn't right or wrong
@@MrMd5555 Rhett's wrong on that one
@@RhettShulllol
I’m with Rhett on this one.
However, I do have an Analogman modded one with the 4 modes knob. Two of those settings keep the bottom end in tact. I exclusively use the fullest setting, and it’s really good.
YMMV
I think the interesting thing about this is that, you put something, anything, away for a while and then pull it back out, and somehow it's different. Of course IT'S not different, but you've grown as a person and as a musician, so it really IS different. I LOVE it when that happens!
My Studio Pro was my "weapon" for years. When it comes to music, I'm a firm believer in what Lee Trevino said about golf clubs: "It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian".
That was some killer playing. I’d watch a whole video of you two just jamming and tracking Beatles get back style.
I heard roots blues 😀
bro that's my profile pic
I love Tylers attitude and enthusiasm so hard to find with musicians now days.
I’m in Buffalo and here it’s easier to find. Tyler would fit right in.
Huh? Is there some sort of social depression afflicting thousands of musicians?
This type of "hanging out" video is the best. Great vibe from both of you and filming style makes it feel like we're just chilling in the room with you guys. Could watch this type of content all day, thanks Rhett!
would you explain to a non american how is it called that music style at 8:30? delta blues? and is that an open tuning?
I saw Tyler open for Blackberry Smoke at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ a few years ago....the rest of his band got delayed and he went on anyway and flat out killed it up there all alone played the whole gig by himself with a borrowed acoustic guitar.....he was unbelievably good that night so glad I got a chance to see him live.😉👍
Peavey is underrated. I had a Backstage practice amp years ago and it sounded great, was loud as hell, and I paid 20 bucks for it.
Yeah. I had a backstage plus. Wish I hadnt sold it!
Backstage Plus was my first "real" amp ever, back in 1983 or so....
Agree. I have a Bravo 112 from the early 1990s. There was a time when you could buy them used for under $50 because people thought they were solid state (the tubes are not visible when you look at the open back of the amp). Great amp. All tube. Built in reverb. Effects loop. 2 channels. Only problem is that even though it's about an 18 watt amp, it's also seriously loud. The volume really needs to be at 5 or higher for the amp to open up, and no one in the house lets me play at that volume.
@@trippgoldsberry2694 Power Soaker... Easy to make...
Yup. I still have a PV silver stripe Bandit, with a V30 in it. It works just fine...
The Mississippi Marshall. 😂 You guys playing slide on that amp is exactly the sound I would expect to hear, and it was awesome!
But Josh still has better slide tone than Rhett.
Every amp Peavy made in the 70s and 80s was phenomenal. I’ve had every amp ever made I think and somehow my 80s Peavy Studio and Backstage amps are STILL killin it.
They definitely had some solid stuff my best friend that basically taught me to play had a bandit65 that was awesome. And I eventually got a tweed classic100 head that I had for a good while. The only thing that always turned me off to Peavey was their logo lol Kind of a silly thing but it is what it is :)
@@sup1e only problem I ever had with all my old Peavys was the volume knob would ALWAYS end up crackling at some point.
I think you've never had some of my amps but you can surprise me: Steelphon Polaris, Kitty Hawk Apache, Hughes & Kettner Access.
Damn near indestructible...
The bandit and encore rocked as well
My first amp was a Peavey Bandit 112 that I bought used as a 12 year old in 1987…the spring tank reverb was AMAZING! Of course I had no idea what I actually had as I was a beginner…got rid of it as I got older, and just last year bought a newer version of the Bandit 112, and still love it!!! I also have a Delta Blues tube amp from Peavey…they’re just great amps
Awesome! I've got the 10" version the Peavey Envoy. Really good amps!
Yeah, both guitarists in one of my early bands played those bandits and they sounded awsome.
Hell, I loved my little Rage 158 (I was the drummer and so only played guitar on my own in my bedroom! ). It spanked for a tiny practice amp.
@@robashton8606 Bandit 112 silver stripe bought new but a few years before that bought an Audition Plus. Great little belter 20 watt with it's "SuperSat" tube clipping. The beginning of "TransTube" maybe? 🤔Now all these years later they are still working fine.
I love these types of videos. Just hanging out, talking gear, and jamming. 👏
Same here! More of these please, Rhett✌️
@@Blue_3rd Most of them would be boring. It’s rare that you get just the right vibe.
Man! You two really grooved well together in both conversation and playing! Great video, Rhett.
Wow, the vibe between you guys in that room. Amazing! Thank you for inspiring me!
Glad to see these getting some love! I'd also enjoy seeing some of the early Traynor TS* series getting some love, too! I have a TS10 and a TS25 that both sound so good when pushed.
What a great video, two great musicians just jamming away. Thanks for posting this.
I saw and met Tyler in Ottawa years ago. A super nice and talented person.
Outstanding! Such awesome, raw, and direct playing. Add in the obvious fun and creativity- this is a WIN! Thanks Rhett!
😮 absolutely awesome jamming. You two need to do this more often!!
This EP that’s being mastered has a Peavey Backstage as a fill amp all over it. One of my favorite things about music is that you can make cool sounds with almost anything. Hope you & Tilly are doing well; all my love !!!
My first "real" amp was a Peavey Studio Pro 40. Then I traded it for a Bandit 65. Those were the days.
I loved my Studio Pro 40. I miss it.
I still have one (SP40) as a ‘spare spare’ works a treat,
I loved my Bandit 65😊
In the 80s I played a Rockman through dual Bandit 65s..great sound!
Mine was a Bandit, 14 years old, around 1986. Man I wish I still had all my gear from the past... a red Charvel with a single humbucker was my first real guitar... then a black Jackson with a Jackson branded Floyd with the HSS pickups... an electric blue BC Rich Warlock... a Carvin 100 watt head with a 2-12 speaker cab... all gone, sadly.
The amp I've had, and used on stage since I was 15, is a Peavey 410 ultratube. I will literally never give it up. 3 channels and spring tank.... couldn't ask for more.
Thanks so much for letting us listen in. Great to hear you both play and talk. Peace
Please get Tyler back on the channel more. He’s one of my favorite guitarists and he’s super nice. Great video!! Love it
Best part of those Peavey amps is you could practically air drop it to the gig (and save your back) and it will still probably work perfectly. They're built like tanks.
Haha, friend of mine calls the Bandit a "Heavey"
We were driving from Phoenix to Tucson and lost our CS800 PA amp out the back of the pickup truck on the Interstate. We pulled over and chased it down. It was beat to heck from bouncing and rolling down the road, but by golly when we got to Tucson it fired right up and worked fine.
Bullet proof! Had my Envoy about 30 years and it's still kickin'.
@@mrz80 I knew someone would have a story like this 😂
I had a Peavey LA 400 back in the early 80s that was super loud and fell off the back of a truck and worked perfectly.
Honestly man I think a big thing is certain kinds of gear/brands of gear get associated with certain genres or types of players and the hierarchy of that affects how people see the gear. It almost becomes fashion rather than tools.
Truth is a lot of gear can sound good for a lot of things. Regardless of how much it costs or how it looks, or who has normally gravitated toward it. Just have to know how to dial it in or apply it to certain situations.
come one now, we all know that if you play a Marshall full stack you will automatically sound just like The Who or if you play a 1 flibbity jillion dollar Dumble you will sound just like every great blues guitarist that ever lived. It's scientific.
Yeah, people "listen with their eyes..." It's super weird sometimes...I remember showing up to a jam with a beautiful 91 Warwick Dolphin, Summit Audio Preamp and Accugroove cab and the guitar player was like "man, you sound good...have you ever tried a P Bass and an Ampeg?" I was like "No, I left the Honda Civic at home and decided to roll with the Bentley today..." 🙄 It wasn't the sound, it was that he thought the only kind of bass was a P Bass...
I agree. I remember the surprise I felt when I watched an interview with David Gilmour and he pulled out a Gibson Les Paul Goldtop with P90s and told the interviewer that he used that guitar for the solo to Another Brick in the Wall, Part II. As someone I've always associated with a Strat and only a Strat, it kind of upset that hierarchy you speak of and made me become aware of my own biases toward the guitar.
That, and the tone chase is mostly superstition. It’s like auditory astrology.
You are absolutely, 100 percent right!
Great video. Love TB and the Shakedown
Loved this style of vid. Felt like I was there with you guys just chillin, jammin, and talkin about gear.
I just love the fact that Tyler has gear in his kitchen! What great sounds you two make. Thanks!
That was the best 13 minutes of my day. Awesome sound fellas. Had a peavey for my 1st amp and it sounded great.
That is some real talent right there.....both of you.......Tyler seems like an old soul musician. Great stuff!
More jamming videos and love to see Tyler on the channel. This was fun!
How about more content just like this. Two guys just hangin and jammin.... you have a great cast of friends.... go visit more often!!!
I agree, this was a very interesting video!
This was great! my favorite kind of content that you make. and the backstage journal, reminds me of my band days, very happy days.
Tyler's a freakin' BEAST ! Both of you sound great through that setup.
Saw Tyler open for ZZ Top and Jeff Beck a few years back here in Atlanta. Dude just went up on stage with his guitar, no band, and blew me away. I met him when I bought a couple of his CD’s after his set. Was super nice.
It'd be great to see more videos of you and other musicians just jamming together.
Born, raised, still in Mississippi, I was always proud of what Hartley Peavey accomplished down in Meridian, MS. Back in the '80 when I bought my first of many Peavey amps, a player could call Peavey and speak to Hartley. He was a true amp geek and would talk for as long you wanted. They had this amazing warranty, but they hardly ever had to honor it. Seriously. Those amps were built like absolute tanks. I'm still using a 6-channel powered mixer from the early '80s that probably has 10k hours on it. Many of the great sounds on later Lynyrd Skynyrd work was done through Peaveys. They preferred the 100 watt Mace amps that sounded more like 300 watts!! LOL. Good grief those amps were LOUD!! Built in phaser was standard! Many country artists embraced them. I never loved their guitars, but they made some really good bass guitars. The guitar genius from Memphis, Shawn Lane, used Peavey amps in conjunction with his "famous" Holmes Mississippi Blues Master amps. (anyone who hasn't checked out Shawn Lane needs to stop right now and go get your mind blow....he left this world WAAAY too soon).
You could not be more right. There will NEVER be anyone like Shawn Lane again!
@@snakelover7703 Brother! Great to hear from someone who knows about Shawn! I talked with him many times, and he was the most humble, caring, compassionate guy one could ever hope to meet. Miss him every day.
Thank you for sharing the backing track. Good & fun stuff!
Rhett, this is one my favorite videos of yours! Love this impromptu format.
Those old Peavey solid state combos are killer. My dad swore by his Bandit 65 and that thing got loud as hell.
It really depends. When I was a kid I tried a used Bandit 65 when at a store while visiting my grandparents. A few months later I got my parents to buy me a used Bandit 112, and even 13-year-old me could tell it was nowhere near as good. 5 years later I tried one of the newer Bandit 112s ("transtube") and was surprised at how good it was. Around that time I bought a Classic 20 and still regret ever selling it.
I hated the tone but tone is a matter of taste. We all hear things differently.
I used Bandits (both the 65 and 112) exclusively in the late 80’s all the way through to the early 2000’s. They were consistent, sounded good, and were impossible to break. Never cared for the high gain sounds on any Peavey, but man the clean(‘ish. Never really play completely clean) were unbeatable bang for the buck.
Good road warrior that didn’t break the bank
@@jerryhorton5708 at the time I was a metal head. I'd probably feel differently about it now.
@@wbajzek I get that! The Bandit wasn’t exactly a metal amp. Now the Peavey Butcher was a metal machine although it should have been sold with a back brace and attached warning from Surgeon General. That thing weighed a ton!
Peavey amps were the norm when I was in Highschool back in the late 80's. Such well built amps and killer tones were had😃
For us it was Traynor amps. We didn't know how good they were being young dumb kids. I'm up in Toronto, Canada.
Yeah I think every kid had a Peavey back then.
For sure! Still got my Peavey Deuce from the 80's. Awesome thing and man that thing can be loud!!
My favorite video of yours so far. It's a great format, and filled with great insights
I’ve had my Peavey Studio Pro for about 30 years. Sometimes I dual amp it up with my Fender Princeton Stereo Chorus which I’ve owned for almost as long. Those two solid state amps compliment each other well.
I've still got my Princeton Stereo Chorus with the red knobs. I got rid of the Studio Pro 112 years and years and years ago. I liked it. It was loud and took pedals well. I just moved on from it at a certain point.
Have had my Studio Pro for two decades now. It was modded with a silver face when I got it. I just love it particularly in stereo with my Blackstar Artist 15. I'll never get rid of it.
The band and I got to open for Tyler in Pittsburgh a number of years ago and agree, he’s a nice guy and a great player. The dialogue you guys have is great and enjoyed the video. There’s no question that one man’s piece of junk is another’s goldmine. Matching yourself with the right instruments, equipment for the situation is part of the joy of playing - it’s great when it comes together.
Great fun video, thanks! I had a Bandit 65 many years ago. I loved the push pull pots, it sounded so good with my Ibanez Studio 300 active guitar😊.
My first amp was a Bandit 65, I sold it soon after I got my Stereo Chorus 400 and have regretted it ever since (I mean the SC400 is great, but my God it's a pig ... sometimes a smaller, lighter amp would be so convenient).
Awesome video man 👍Loved to see you two jam. Tyler seems to be such a cool guy to be around.
That was awesome, guys. And so inspiring. Thank you so much.
I TOTALLY dug the vibe you both generated in this short video. Were you ever IN A BAND TOGETHER ? If not, maybe in the future...you can feel s comfortable ease in the air that only 2 like-minded bros with shared, focus, who speak the same language can have. Reminds me of some of my buddies. BTW THAT IS THE CLEANEST studio I've ever seen!
Tyler is a badass guitar player. Saw his band open for Clutch a few years back. He completely blew me away.
Tyler's the man! Love their Jam in the Van.
Wow! One of the best episodes ever. Great playing and I felt like I was part of the hang. Thanks to you both.
My main amp for the last 30+ years has been a Peavey Stereo Chorus 400 ... the country boys are constantly begging me to sell it to them. Its the amp that the JC120 wishes it was.
Totally agree own one myself and use a Zoom g5 as a preamp and the scorpion speakers sound close too a celestion greenback too me ! I have 3 tube amps and this amp is my go too
I just found a Stereo Chorus 212 a couple years ago. Heavy AF, but loud as well. I'm keeping that tank in case there is a war. I will feel safe inside my amp🤣 but it sounds better than my Bandit 65
@@mikewithers299 My recommendation is to put casters on it (that's what I did and it makes all the difference when moving it around). But yeah, heavy AF and built like a tank.
So sad what happened to this once great company. Love the 1980's peavey amps. Love their guitars too.
That was a great little jam between the 2 of you on slide guitar at the end there... Very cool
Dude had some awesome insight and was totally fascinating to listen to, holy crap! Definitely gonna check out Tyler's stuff.
I have a Peavey KB60 that I bought couple of years ago to use as a bass amp. It has a spring reverb, but no other effects as it is a keyboard amp, so I thought to myself "wait, it should sound nice with electric guitar". It is just as awesome for guitar as it is for bass, amazing pedal platform. I got the most insane metal tone ever with it, a Digitech Grunge pedal and a Behringer Tube Overdrive. People would tell you all those are garbage online, but trust me, this combo sounds so unique and massive it gives me chills whenever I crank it.
Bring this guy back, I'm not saying your channel is lacking anything but that guy fills a gap nicely. His tone on the strat is amazing during your recording of that track.
Fun video, great playing guys!
Man, that was super inspiring!
Thank you both for that!
Yup!
I have an old 1986 Peavey Classic VTX combo with a built in phaser that you can set anywhere in the sweep range and use it like a cocked wah thing. My dad bought it for me new when I was a kid. It’s super fun to play.
Just commented on that fixed phaser.. the only way to get that sound is a vintage PV
One of your best videos in a while, and it's got some pretty tough competitors.
Enjoyed the watch this Tyler Bryant seems like a good friend to have ! Fun watch ! Rock n roll
Just a lovely peek into a bit of the creative process about gear .. I like it, thanks 👽
On guitars learning to be guitars, Robert Godin talks about the sound waves generated through resonance that cause the wood fibers to break down and help the guitar to respond to the notes over time. I've played my acoustic Seagull for 15 years, accompanying my vocals predominantly in E. When I tune the guitar and hit the E, you can hear/feel it open up.
I've been playing my 00-style Norman for around 5 years now. Cedar top with mahogany back and sides, it had a lovely sound from the start but for a cedar top, it opened up surprisingly over just a few years. Godin's acoustic brands are greats, a shame their lineup is not as varied as in the past (especially if you're looking for a different shape than a dreadnought or a jumbo).
Because the guitar is “happy” you hit the E.
I bought a Seagull S6 in the 90s and I had to choose between a brand new one and a used one. It was cheaper and in good shape so I got the used one, plus it sounded better. Imagine now! Great acoustic! Oh, and hi Robert Godin, thanks for all your great Godin guitars!
I have the S6 and used to host open mic. I'd let people use it from time to time, if they had enough liquid courage but hadn't planned to bring a guitar. It led to enough people buying their own that the company rep gave me a tshirt and ballcap...lol.
There’s a device called a ToneRite that claims to speed this process for acoustics. Would be cool to see Rhett review it. I wonder how much improvement is due to this vs. wood drying out (torrefication).
My first amp was a peavy backstage. Great Skynard tone.
I still have my Peavey Pacer from 1980, it got me through some good times and bad times. Thanks from Colorado.
Enjoyed this, thanks it's good to watch stuff that's inspiring 👍
I still have my Studio Pro-40 I bought new in 1985 and aside from replacement of the stock speaker (pre-Scorpion speaker era) with a Celestion G-12, it's stock and still rocks. That Saturation circuit really makes a big difference on that affordable amp of the era once I learned how to dial it in.😎🤘
Same here bro. Even subtle tweaks on that knob bring new flavors to the sound. I loved that era the best.
First decent amp I ever got was a late 70s Peavey Classic 2x12...Loved that amp.
Love this type of candid video. Do more of them
Tyler rocks! More of that, please. His clips of playing for ACDC and having to wrap the guitar cord around his head were memorable.
Super cool old Peavey, felt the same way when I was young that they sucked but man Hartley really did a good job and a old Peavey has never let me down :) thanks for reminding me
Very interesting. I still have my Peavy Special. My first guitar was an electric solid body Harmony way back in 1967. I think it was similar in shape to the Fender Jag.
Those Harmony offsets are pretty sweet. The newer model’s a plumb...and not cheap either.
Rhett your Videos are pure Gold man , great stuff!!
Awesome episode man!
my first tube amp was a peavey classic 50. that amp got me all the tone i ever wanted. peavey is super great
I toured with the tweed Classic 50 head over a 4x10 Celestian cab. The ‘amp heads’ couldn’t believe it was “just a Peavey”.😉
Same here man… they are still pretty amazing affordable amps I would be fine gigging with… the older stuff… the valve kings… and ‘the deuce’ in particular are total sleeper amps.
I’ve had the classic 30 for years. Great tone.
We are in agreement
That’s my baby. I got a spare just in case. Best amp. Heavy, but so dope.
I love those Harmony's. They are fantastic and sooo fun to play.
Such cool guitars, the pickups are magic!
I have the same Peavey Backstage Plus 35 amp. It is awesome!! The reverb drips off the ceiling on these things. Glad to see you guys enjoying what it can do. Great playing by both of you!!
I found a peavey bravo recently. All tube 25 watt combo from 1990. Clean and two distortion channels. Sounds amazing! Original tubes and built like a tank in the USA. One of the best amps I have ever owned. The best part….got it in Japan…..for 22 usd! The reverb tank wired was disconnected…..five minutes….fixed. Peaveys are really good amps! Love em!
The old Peavey's were excellent practice and garage band amps. The 1980s solid state Marshalls (pre-valvestate and MG series) were legit too.
My first amp. Great clean tones. Country chicken pickers loved them. I was never a fan of the solid state saturation, but even that can be good in the right context. More Rhett & Tyler episodes!
Rhett I love your videos man.. I get to learn about New Gear and old gear as well. But you're inside and input on things a pretty down-to-earth
That is so cool. I didn't know you guys are friends! I've been following Tyler for a long time, and you too. Thanks for the content!
I got my peavey valveking 112 like 15 years ago for less than 300 bucks. Insanely underrated in my opinion. Especially for an all tube amp.
I love it all. The jamming, the discussions, the idea sharing...all makes me think about things I have hang ups about. Like this whole "Josh Holmes plays thru a Peavy Decade" or whatever it was. So I immediately went on a hunt for it because I love his tone so much. I finally found one, paid way too much because this myth has inflated the price, and when I got it home...nothing. Sounded like a Peavy Decade. Nothing special, no earth shaking tones...just a decent little amp. And that's really when it clicked. It was Josh that was making it sound like that. You got to find YOUR Peavy Decade. That little POS battery powered whatever that you go "...that's IT!" That just happened to be Josh's eureka moment.
That ending was great loved the jams
Love Tyler and his band! So cool to see him on the channel. This video all felt so good, makes me want to hang with my (musician) friends and just be for awhile
Pre-China Peavey is so underrated, everything up through the redline amps are just superb (though I find the blacked out 90s models cheap in quality, looks dominate my perception of sound in those too). Transtube is spectacular
As result, the 80s Peavey gear is going through the roof, what were $200 mint Craigslist guitars are now $1200 decent examples and the amps have tripled.
Agreed! I have one of the absolute LAST generation USA-made Peavey Bandits (the 2000-2004 "Red Stripe") and it's a BEAST. Tonally VERY versatile, and the sustain on the "lead" channel is SICK AF. Got mine just in the nick of time, too, while you could still get them for around $160. It's scary what's happening to their prices now.
A long, long time ago, I finished high school, then quit the Engineering course where I'd been lucky to get a spot. Then went off to a small music college staffed by some amazing musicians, & went with my heart rather than family. I got hired by a band well known here before I'd finished 3 terms, but I played Vampire, learning days and gigging nights. All the amps at the school were Peavey. They never, ever broke. While I worked with groups after graduation I encountered a lot of "big name brand" gear. And because I was a techie even then, I spent many breaks with a soldering iron in my hand, curses on my tongue and murder in my heart. Much later, I owned a full-up Marshall bass stack, which I loved. But after a house fire, the Marshall gear (and a vintage Vox) went up for sale, since my home had been torched by a neighbor who smoked in bed. Skip over the "black years" that followed - I'll just say things weren't great.
I began buying some guitar stuff, including some really good classic Peavey equipment. I have other amps & speakers, as well as mics. Even a small digital workstation. But when I get a call to do some live playing, I usually take Peavey gear. All of mine was "made in U.S.A." so it's not exactly new. It's in remarkably good shape given some of its history. It's rugged as can be but more to the point, players with many different styles and sounds can make it sound like their own. I have some other "famous brand" gear - some is good, some not so much. Sure, I have a list of instruments and other things I'd love to have. But the last few years, plus retirement pretty much tore that up. I use what I have, and nobody complains about it. Those amps are reliable tools - the rest is up to me. Practice and listen, and more practice keeps me playing, and learning. Thanks for the tour, and the jam Rhett. Keep on keeping on.
Yup. It doesn't break. That's why I always carried one, even when I had something else at the time.
Love all my old Peaveys. I can't afford top tier gear now days and don't need it. My Bandit 65 will get rebuilt if that time comes. 🎸
Thanks Tyler for posting about PV, definitely underrated
I have one of those sitting in my office right now and it was for just jamming and recording stuff here.. turns out I've also used it LIVE.. and LOVE IT..
I had a big ass solid state Peavy back in the 19 ought 80s. It was way to much for me (got a hell of a deal on it, that's the only reason I bought it). But a local pedal steel guitar player found out I had it and offered me an insane price for it. He was so happy that I had to give him a fair price for it. Apparently they are quite popular with that breed of cat.
Must have been the Ranger. I have one and I LOVE it. Plexi style distortion, twin reverb clean channel that's often called the "twin killer", a built in reverb AND tremelo, and the thing is LOUD. It's also heavy as hell, but I know steel pedal players will drive cross country to pick one up. BTW, they're a tube amp.
@@Trentstone121 I honestly don't remember the name, but your description sounds about right...especially the loud and heavy part. Thing weighed a friggin' ton, in imperial or metric and was a real tinnitus inducer. Mine was definitely solid state though, not a tube to be seen.
@@stephenwalton8507 interesting. I wonder if they ever made a solid state ranger. Peavey was such a great company back then.
I used a few Peavy’s. The small amp speakers tend to get to warm or hot and sound flubby after five minutes whereas the bigger models just had a sweet spot and last. Too bad Peavy screwed over his employees and went over seas that caused him to lose support. If he just made a entry level to low mid line over seas and changed USA to higher mid level to high end products and treated employees better they probably would have saved faced. The undercover boss episode really hurt him when word came out what happened after the show.
Robert, I have direct knowledge that Hartley Peavey didn't screw his employees over by going over seas. What had happened is Hartley took time away from being the CEO and hired someone else to fully run his company while he took very good care of his lovely wife Melia who was battling a long hard road of cancer back then. So be careful not to attribute such a bad thing with such a noble thing as what Hartley actually did. The CEO who did that thought it was what was best for the company at that time even when apposed to Hartley's personal choice. I'm sure it's not easy to run the world largest full-line music equipment manufacturer.
Love the format of this video, more like this would be cool!
I bought a Peavey Bandit in 1979 and still have it. Thanks for this video.
Man I know Zappa used a pig nose on SOOO many of his early records and would get his super dirty tone from it and it sounds AMAAZINNGG. Watch the live Black Napkins video, he's playing through one!
Matt Pike of Sleep and High on Fire often has a pig nose blended into his sound, even live. When I saw them in Chicago, I was close to the stage and heard him say to his monitor guy that the pig nose was feeding back and cut it out of the mix if needed.
Michael Schenker played the Lights Out solo on a Pignose.
@@mochunk haha wow that's funny you said that, I hadn't listened to sleep in probably a year and I was like half way through dope smoker when I got the notification for this reply
Something about a guy saying "you don't need the stuff" in a room full of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of high-quality music gear feels like "let them eat cake" and a slap in the face.
