I'm a pro working guitarist and I bought one last year due to it's ultra light weight .So far I've done 140 gigs this year with it and it hasn't let me down. I put it through our P.A and it sounds great, I changed the speaker to a celestion but that was just me wanting a tougher speaker.I'd never used a solid state amp live before but this amp just has a great sound. I honestly can't find a problem with it.
Wow!!! That sounds amazing! Great job! I'm definitely gonna pick one of these up if I ever come across the right deal. I have the bigger brother.. the grey Bandit.
Oh man, dude that sounds absolutely stellar. Real warm professional tone. I am getting one of these soon and I can't wait. Been through alot of amps but I reckon this one will be a keeper for me.
i’ve used this amp for years and not a problem with it! i play clean tones mainly and that low gain vintage setting with some reverb sounds absolutely beautiful!! can’t recommend it enough
I rescued one of these from the trash and it is AWESOME! Low impedance input is amazing for keyboards and it makes me want to learn guitar this is a KICK ASS little amp! Perfect for keyboard or guitar it is amazing and you can connect a phone into the low impedance jack and it'll be a very nice bluetooth speaker too it is just so awesome!!
I also bought an old Roland multi effects pedal intended for guitar but works amazing paired with my old as hell Casio 101 keyboard and this amp crazy sounds and it's fun!
@@atlejohnnyrygg7124 I honestly love it. It sounds really good. Honestly at low volumes it beats the Marshall. Maybe not at high volumes but I just love it. Best 12" amp I've ever had. Better than peace red stripe. You set it at .5 watts and you can play as it was in normal volume. I have Seymor Duncan distortion pick ups. Great sound.
@@davesaenz3732 thanks for thevreply. The Envoy is 1x10", noy 12" or do you mean the marshall? I have a Blackstar 1x12" tube combo and am looking at a red stripe made in china envoy somebody is selling dirt cheap.
@@celestelongway7315 didn't like the Envoy. Sounded fizzy and harsh. Has a real spring reverb, but didn't sound good imo. The digital reverb in my Blackstar sounds better. I had it in my closet for a while and tried replacing the speaker, but ended up selling it. I now have a Fender Mustang III I picked up for cheap second hand and it is so much better than the Peavey in every way.
Bokara Noumen The answer is "it depends." Who else is on stage with you, and what are they playing? Pub-volume gigs with a small kit drummer? Sure. All-out hard rock with bass, full-sized "rock volume" drums, and other instruments, probably not.
I know this video is older but, what kind of results could I expect by running a delay pedal through the input? If only Peavey had included a loop on this app!
Hi, Could you help me with lead lessons. Loved every bit you played. I know it's an amp review video but I want to learn he techniques that you are playing in the video. Especially the clean tone techniques. Would be great if you could help me out.
hi!. i just bought this amp.ANd I have a question, I noticed the back (the little silver box and the preamp) get too warm BUT not hot, to touch,... this is normal?
if you're referring to the transformer, probably, as long as you don't burn your hand when you touch it. If that happens it may damage the amp or cause a fire ( BAD !! )
Can i play in bedroom volume with it ? I need heavy distortion in low volume....i think setting pre gain in 6 or 7 and post gain in 1 or 2...its will work?
I've got the same amp, very happy with it. Hey do you have any tabs for what you're playing? Or a video? I like this blues/funky jammy thing, Is it G, then F? Cheers
Clearly! Yes!!! Before I went to a Bandit 112 Red Stripe, I used to use My Envoy 110 Red Stripe weekly at band practice with room to spare... clean or distorted.
The latest models have a digital reverb, so a really good amp tech might be able to fix it. If you have one of the older models with an actual reverb tank, they are a lot more user serviceable.
I'm thinking about buying one of these and using it through an A-B switch to combo with a 20 watt Windsor tube amp so I can switch between the 2 or go with both at once ( amps separated by 15-25 feet ) Any ideas about how well this would work ?
No better way than to try it out. I can't think of any problems with it though! I don't know the Windsor very well, but I'm guessing the Peavey would have a hard time competing with it's volume if you're planning on cranking it. If you mic both though, and get the levels balanced, you'll have a huge range of tones between the two amps. I would just try it and see which one you like more. The Peavey will have the advantage of sounding rich at softer volumes - without everyone asking you to turn down. The Windsor probably won't have as big a range of tones, but can get much louder. So no matter how well the two compliment each other, the Envoy is an awesome price for how handy it is to have. Good luck!
Wet-dry set-up. All your dry signal in one amp and wet signal on the other amp.... when you connect it into the PA system you pan it left and right... that would make your sound really wide.
now that's a nice review.. dude you're an amazing guitar player! do you recommend this amp for a second amp? i have a shitty washburn 15 watt amp that i wanna sell to get a new one, so i was thinking of getting this one
Thanks man!! I definitely recommend it. Super portable, pretty loud (but you'd need a mic if you're playing a gig with a band), and super great sound. You might find that it will replace your Washburn if you bought one:)
I think so! You'd need a mic cause honestly the amp doesn't get loud enough to play metal along with a drummer, but the tone is awesome enough for it I think. Then again I'm not a metal expert by any means. :)
No sé si llegue tarde, tengo este amp, pero en una versión que casi no veo por ahí, la cosa es que tiene MUY buen volumen, al lado de un baterista podría hasta sonar más alto, créeme, tocó y me vibra el techo de la casa y la del vecino jaja
I'm using a custom made solid body guitar with Seymour Duncan pickups - JB bridge, Cool Rails in the middle, and '59 in the neck. This amp would sound sweet with a strat through it I'm sure!
It does handle pretty well at a small club volume, and beyond that you can always put a mic in front of it! Of course it doesn't get MORE powerful under stress the way a real tube amp would, but has a great sound to start with, which is all you need!
Nope, just straight in. There's reverb on board which I used, as well as a boost knob, which I used a little bit as well - just fattens the sound up a little.
For practicing, maybe - depended on how loud the band was. Also, if you're using the lead channel, it's harder to cut through without a mic. On the clean channel, you could probably pull it off as long as the drummer's not super loud. Otherwise I would look for a way to use a mic. I currently gig and rehearse with a 4W Alamo 1x10 tube amp, and I have to mic it much of the time, and it works just fine.
Ok, thanks for the answer, I'm looking for an amp for practicing with the band, so I need a loud one, the drummer, the trumpets and the saxs could get really loud so I think I need like a bandit 112 or something like that
Yes. Or, for a little more, a good all around amp would be a Vox AC15 or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - both affordable on Craigslist, both portable, and both loud enough for anything you'd need them for. Good luck!
It is a custom made Wade Hezeltine guitar, a luthier who currently lives in Idaho. Basically a solid body with a bolt on neck, ebony fretboard, and a Seymour Duncan JB (bridge), Cool Rails (middle), and '59 (neck).
Just got this amp yesterday... This shit is fucking amazing. Works really well with distortion/fuzz pedals too, damn.. I couldn't be happier!!!
I'm a pro working guitarist and I bought one last year due to it's ultra light weight .So far I've done 140 gigs this year with it and it hasn't let me down.

Thanks for the endorsement on this great little amp!
Curious which Celestion did you choose?
That's how a real demo should be!
Thanks Vini!
I know I am tone deff and am playing this through the worst Dell computer speakers but my goodness that clean tone spoke directly to my soul so purdy
Por fin, alguien que prueba y explica todo. Gracias por ayudarme a decidir que amplificador comprar.
I like the fact that we CAN see what are the settings.
Wow!!! That sounds amazing! Great job! I'm definitely gonna pick one of these up if I ever come across the right deal. I have the bigger brother.. the grey Bandit.
davecooper360 thanks a ton! Definitely do grab one, very handy size and of course, great sound!

Thank you! Good luck in your search as well!

Love my envoy. It can do it all. Very well done!
I agree! And thanks!
Porfin una demo en la que muestra todos los modos y equilizaciones, la gran mayoría no muestra la distorsión máxima que este alcanza
Excellent review. I had one and I still regret selling it
Tone is so amazing.
Really great review mate, your a good player too.
Thanks man!
I'm getting rid of my DSL40c Marshall tube amp and getting this one. I only play at low volumes and this amp has more gain for Metal tones.
How did that work out for you? Happy with the decision?
@@atlejohnnyrygg7124 I honestly love it. It sounds really good. Honestly at low volumes it beats the Marshall. Maybe not at high volumes but I just love it. Best 12" amp I've ever had.

Sounds like a real tube amp :-).
Kennedy Aragorn Henry im planning on buying an amp. Should i go with this or a real tube amp?
Holy fk that distortion is heavy.
40 watts and 10 inch speaker is perfect
Sold!
how would it compare to my line 6 spider 15w amp?? Thank you
I know this video is older but, what kind of results could I expect by running a delay pedal through the input? If only Peavey had included a loop on this app!
The envoy is a 40 watt 1-10 combo
Umm I bought this amp yesterday, now please tell me where I can buy those SKILLS!! Nasty shredding mate ❤️✌🏽👍🏽

I've got the same amp, very happy with it. Hey do you have any tabs for what you're playing? Or a video? I like this blues/funky jammy thing, Is it G, then F? Cheers
Is the reverb digital?
Someone can tell me the music he plays when he changes to the bridge pickup ? I think I know, but cant remember. Memory lapse. Thanks. Nice review btw
Shine On You Crazy Diamond by Pink Floyd i think
Are these loud enough to play in a band with?
Clearly! Yes!!! Before I went to a Bandit 112 Red Stripe, I used to use My Envoy 110 Red Stripe weekly at band practice with room to spare... clean or distorted.
What would you suggest for metal
Just looking at one of these for sale for fifty pounds mint condition.....
what ajustment you are using ?!
Im talking about knobs
Love this amp! Although the reverb on mine doesnt work anyone so was gonna replace it with a Blackstar. Anyone know if the reverb is fixable?
The latest models have a digital reverb, so a really good amp tech might be able to fix it. If you have one of the older models with an actual reverb tank, they are a lot more user serviceable.
@@mistermojo1969 ended up replacing the amp. But thanks for the reply.
I have a Marshall MG30FX. Would you recommend me changing it for this Peavey? Thanks, great video
yes
hmmmm.
Dude you rock!
Thanks!
is it good to practice at home?
Does this amp have an effects loop ?
This is only the amplifier and the Guitar or you use a pedal?
What guitar are you using?
Does this have footswitch??? Thanks
I believe foot switches are available for it, yes.

+Panagiwths Giannis totally!
Panagiwths Giannis this peavey a,p is a 1-10 Combo amp at 40watts and a good rehearsal amp try to get a bandit
is it possible to connect both the clean and lead channel through a/b morley pedal?
Well, it only has a single output , so how would you go about using an A/B pedal ?
Have this amp the aux in?
esya bueno para tocar metal?:v
I think so! You'd need a mic cause honestly the amp doesn't get loud enough to play metal along with a drummer, but the tone is awesome enough for it I think. Then again I'm not a metal expert by any means. :)
No sé si llegue tarde, tengo este amp, pero en una versión que casi no veo por ahí, la cosa es que tiene MUY buen volumen, al lado de un baterista podría hasta sonar más alto, créeme, tocó y me vibra el techo de la casa y la del vecino jaja
Dropping some floyd.
:)
What guitar are you using?
Edit: Can I use it for a Stratocaster Guitar?
I'm using a custom made solid body guitar with Seymour Duncan pickups - JB bridge, Cool Rails in the middle, and '59 in the neck. This amp would sound sweet with a strat through it I'm sure!
Can you turn this really loud and still make it sound good?
It does handle pretty well at a small club volume, and beyond that you can always put a mic in front of it! Of course it doesn't get MORE powerful under stress the way a real tube amp would, but has a great sound to start with, which is all you need!
MagnusonMusic1 thanks
Did you use any effect for the amplifier?
Nope, just straight in. There's reverb on board which I used, as well as a boost knob, which I used a little bit as well - just fattens the sound up a little.
Hello, do you think it could work with full band without microfone?, for practicing
With the baterist beside me, I mean. Could it work?
For practicing, maybe - depended on how loud the band was. Also, if you're using the lead channel, it's harder to cut through without a mic. On the clean channel, you could probably pull it off as long as the drummer's not super loud. Otherwise I would look for a way to use a mic.

Yes. Or, for a little more, a good all around amp would be a Vox AC15 or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe - both affordable on Craigslist, both portable, and both loud enough for anything you'd need them for. Good luck!

Great! What guitar were you using?
It is a custom made Wade Hezeltine guitar, a luthier who currently lives in Idaho. Basically a solid body with a bolt on neck, ebony fretboard, and a Seymour Duncan JB (bridge), Cool Rails (middle), and '59 (neck).
what are you playing at 1:28 its awesome?
Thanks! Just some noodling on Gm (355333), Ebmaj7 (x65333), and F(x33211), and the Gm pentatonic (36-35-35-35-36-36). Hope that helps.
its the envoy of 40w??
Yes, that's right
Made in china?
