I’m super shy when it comes to uploading videos of myself playing. I feel like I’m at 6 months into learning guitar right after I hit the record button. Sometime this week I’m picking up that Peavey amp (we agreed on a deal today but our work schedules makes it impossible to do this on a weekday), and I’ll try and get a decent recording/video out of that. But even on my katana amp, I can already tell the nuances of these pickups. The bridge is very dynamic and responds so well to the volume pot, the harmonics are amazing. I have a JCM 800 patch on my Katana, and it sounds very aggressive with the pot maxed out, but it tapers to a very nice crunch when you roll it off about 75%. On the clean channel, it overdrives when the volume is maxed out, so need to roll back about 25% to clean it up. This is quite the hot pickup. The neck sounds so good, and warm like a Les Paul, especially if you roll off the tone pot a bit, and so stratty when split. |

There is a school of thought circulating the web right now concerning tube amps and saturation of tone while controlling volume levels. The long and the short of it is: Really crank up your amp, both the channel and master volume controls to the real sweet spot where your amp is alive and musical. Dial in the eq section where you like it to be. Now most times, this setup on a tube amp is very, very loud. The studio guys are saying to lower the volume knob on the guitar and then slowly increase the volume to where the guitar is singing, but well within easy listening volume levels. It adds another dimension to the tone without family members cringing or throwing things at you for peeling paint off the walls. Tim Pierce did an interview with a studio legend about this, and also, Rick Beato’s gang of studio cats were talking about this. I must make some time to try this on a few different platforms and see the results first hand. Good luck with your new rig! The guitar is beautiful. frank d.

Wow! How cool is that! And is a made in USA model to boot. Your home, with all that beautiful new gear, will surely be rockin’. Have fun.

Your first tube amp? I'm sure it will be great. I recommend buying an overdrive (OD) pedal. It can give you lots of options.

Double whammy, new PRS and a tube
Congrats and many happy playing hours, i was on the hunt for one too, but haven’t found one yet. I am going to take that advice above, and try it on my tube amp, before getting arrested. |

Thanks! Yeah I can’t wait for the weekend so I can get and crank it up a bit. Weekdays is hard to play it louder than bedroom levels past 7pm. Quote:
Thanks! Yeah I read they’re made in China now, so it’s a nice to see this one is MIA. Been trying to match the serial to a year of manufacture, but apparently it’s hard to figure out on any Peavey that’s newer than 1989. Someone on a FB group said it looks like 2005-ish. Something about the logo. |

Concerning your amp, you might try searching for a similar image online that may lead to more info on the age of that Peavey.
I have a TransTube Bandit, and didn't know that the USA-made ones with the red stripe trim are considered more special than others... Congrats again on your latest acquisitions! |

You can call the Peavey customer service desk in Meridian, Ms. The guy working the desk is terrific and very helpful. I’m sure he can get you the info you need.
Have fun learning all about your new rig! Frankie d.

The SD-1 should pair well with your Peavey. If you want to add a little breakup with great tone to your amp put the pedal's gain low and the volume high.

Thanks again guys. I’ll look more into this serial number thing since I’m quite curious about the age of this amp.
