NPAD: Peavey Rockmaster

[Achilles]

Been watching one up the road in LA and the seller just dropped the price.
I offered a bit lower since the shipping will be nothing and it got accepted right away.
Bought one new 20+ years ago and remember it really killing.

A no-brainer for the price. Especially since it still has all the knobs and knob caps!

Those are fun. I have one tucked away here somewhere, along with a marshall 9000 series preamp. I really need to break those out one day when I have no chores left on the plate.

The trick with the Rockmasters are all the loop in/outs on the back tend to get dirty very easily, and then that channel will stop passing audio. Some Caig's Deoxit on the end of a guitar cable in and out a few times gets you back in business.

That one looks cleaner than mine, congrats!

I plan on giving the thing a really good going over and the chassis needs some paint touch up but otherwise, it is in pretty good shape.
I also won't be using any of the loops so I may just pick up some 1/4 hole plugs for them.

Awesome preamp - this reminds me that mine needs a service!

Sweet preamp!

Those are sweet!! I have a Peavey PG Raxx I have not used in a while. I'm getting ready to sell it and some other stuff laying around to get another Marshall head if anyone is interested before I list it.

Gut shot. Looks like they spent so much on a decent transformer that they couldn't afford a plate through PCB.
LOVE the way they did the cutout in the board to allow for tube cooling through the vents.

And for the tech dweebs.
