Peavey: Hold My Beer

Acorn amps were at it as well:



and also:

Both likely got C&D letters. Apparently Tony Pepers definitely did, and put it out as the Mage with different graphics. Might explain why Acorn's was redesigned.

I have the smaller Acorn pre, the difference is that the larger variant also has a 10W amp built in, to make the Decade geeks happy.

The small one sounds nice, but it's not like there's anything really special about them. Very unspectacular run-of-the-mill preamp, that's all.

Top-notch craftsmanship by Acorn, though.

Fart and Miku pedals sell. You can sell guitarists anything.

Fart into a Decade!

I remember hearing a VTM 60 some years ago, that amp had some serious "flesh-y" thump going on. Could be a wonderful doom/stoner/psych platform for fuzz and boost.

As a VTM60 owner, can confirm. It's essentially a way to get "famously modded Marshall" tone for a tiny fraction of the price

This is the main reason I am interested.

Alright, why the fuck do I feel like I just walked into a seedy pawnshop full of shitty gear?

I'd love to try the Rock Master.

I have a soft spot for the Bandit growing up during the 80’s. But a large part of the experience were the cabinets and speakers. Not sure how this pedal would recreate that experience. Anyone have some Bandit IR’s?

The Scorpion speaker is pretty dope. Sheffield was good too as I recall.

Unpopular opinion but I’d rather see the bandit at a gig backline any day than the deluxe reverb.

I've seen many a great player use one live, mostly as a platform for pedals. I used one a few times with a bk tube driver and the tone was awesome.

I covered a lot of songs in the early 90’s with a stereo 2X12 Chorus version of the Bandit. Threw a stereo 10 band EQ in the loop and the setup got comments on the tone. Worked well for me.

gigged a VTM60 for like a decade with just a wah and a tuner in front. maintained it not even the slightest bit. never failed me. absolutely buying the pedal absolutely for the nostalgia factor alone.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

I didn't have one, so not sure "nostalgia" is applicable in my case. I wish they'd reissue the Rock Master 120w head. I'd have to get a Rocktron Rampage and/or Silver Dragon, and an ART 442 Dual 15 Band EQ to really lean into the nostalgia, as it was my first "real" rig.

I just want that t-shirt. Is this official merch?

I still have my Rockmaster preamp and Classic 50/50 power amp. Played a lot of bar gigs with that gear.
