Peavey VTM 60 Demo

[mwiguitar62]

If you could rate this from 1-10 what would it be?

@mwiguitar62 Hmmmm... When I'm after a higher gain Marshall kind of sound I'd give it a 9. It's a great amp but totally a one trick pony. It does, however, do that one trick very very well.

@forgivenman Hm. nice to know :) I ended up getting a Hughes & Kettner Attax 40 watt. The price was way lower than the what the other guy was asking but ,meh, I'll live. I'd love to get the VTM-60 though.

@forgivenman Sorry, but the VTM is FAR from a one trick pony. You just have to be willing to spend a good bit of time tweaking knobs and dip switches.

That sounds fantastic. Just a question, have you played a peavey classic, and if so could you compare the two? This amp seems to have the awesome sustain that I get from the classic so I just wanted to see if this was the same.

[forgivenman]

@b1gnasty69 I have to say it but I haven't played any of the Peavey Classics- I've been interested in them though. For cleaner sounds I typically use Vox or Vox style amps.

Ha your not using a pick... sounds great!

[forgivenman]

Thanks man- I go backa and forth with using my fingers and using a pick. It all depends on how much Jeff Beck I'm listening too!

how loud would you say this amp is? my band plays a lot of places without pa systems and i have the loudest drummer in the world. could the 60 watt handle it or should i got the 120?

[forgivenman]

I can't imagine the 60 not being enough volume. It's an unbelievably loud amp.

[ABCvitaminD]

ripping. I've got a triumph 60. it's pretty awesome.

[forgivenman]

@ABCvitaminD

Awesome- I sometimes start jonesing for these cheap old amps. They're such good deals and sound amazing.

[EuropeFactor]

Very nice. What is your opinion on the Phat Cats? Would you say they sound like real P90's?

[forgivenman]

@EuropeFactor

Great question- I think they get about 85% of the way to a typical P90 sound. The neck PU is, indeed, fatter sounding and thicker than a standard P90 but using them together yields a nice jangly sound. The bridge PU is almost too hot. I typically keep the tone turned down to about 7-8 to tame some of the brightness. Hope that helps.

Sweet playing man that was the best les paul demo i've seen in a while

I have the same guitar with a phat cat in the neck and burstbucker in the bridge, but mine are gold.

[forgivenman]

Thanks man! How do you like yours?

[forgivenman]

Thanks man- I'll hold on to it!

Bad Ace Playing, Sir! Much above par and very original to my ears. Oozing with soul.

[JohnnyRoxx65]

[forgivenman]

Thanks so much man, I appreciate it.
