My first actual amp was a Peavey. Studio Pro 40. $150. Friend had a Rage and
another had a Bandit. You could play the notes right and still sound so far off
whatever riff/lick you were playing.
Kids today have it so good! Stay away from the Peaveys children!

Peavey had the pull knobs like Mesa. Sounds weren't quite so similar though

This was my first Peavey
You can see a recurring theme; 40 years later

The town I grew up in only had one big music store for a long time, and they only sold Peavey. They mostly sold pianos and rented instruments for marching bands. Everyone in town sounded like shit. We'd get so excited when bands came in from out of town, we'd go gawk at their gear.My first actual amp was a Peavey. Studio Pro 40. $150. Friend had a Rage and

I used to own a ton of Peavey PA gear. It was actually pretty good and cheaper than other brands. I had a few Peavey SS amps. They were their transtube circuits. There were just okay. I still have two Peavey tube amps that I bought many years ago. One is a Peavey JSX 212, one of the first ones out, and a Peavey Triple XXX 112. I like the clean and crunch channels on both of these amps. They are similar but different.

1) easy cash grab for Peavey
2) easy cash grab for Homme
3) street price seems to be 300$
4) worth 100$ at best
5) scalpers still try to sell originals for 500$
6) geeks will buy this instead and be happy
So, why not?
Despite being a Homme fanboy, I probably won't buy this.
The Acorn "Solid State" pedal gives me Decade toanz if needed.

LOL they even got it to stand in front of a brick wall, like it's taking its first band promo pic. (Someone needs to iron that distressed hardwood flooring, though.)

Alternately, "why Kay, Silvertone, Teisco..."All those "budget" offerings from the 60s---Kay, Silvertone, Teisco--saw their own resurrection, so why not Peavey?
