Peavey Mini Colossal Quick Test

Here's a quick test of my Mini Colossal. Amp is set 100% power on the back. Master on the front is only set at 1. Tone is 9 and the tremolo is off. I start out on my H-S-H Ibanez Roadstar with FRED in bridge, stock blade single in middle and PAF Pro in neck. Position 4 to begin and the guitar volume around 6. Switches to position 2 and I increase the volume throughout. Finish off with full bridge humbucker at around 5 on guitar's volume and slowly increase that as I finish the clip. You can see how much gain this little amp has only set at 1.

Yeah, it is. Nice ear!

[mmaier2112]

Sweet video. Sounds very good for YouTube. Is this through just the videocamera microphone?

[t1r12003]

Yep.  Tried to keep the volume low enough not to clip the microphone.

this amp isnt really meant for high gain distortion huh? Im looking for a low volume tube amp with good saturation for my bedroom...doesnt seem like theyre many options out there without getting 60 plus watts

[t1r12003]

Actually, it's quite the opposite. I had to run the volume on the amp at about 1 and then my guitar volume on 6 to get it clean. It's not a metal amp, but I get excellent tube saturation at low volumes just with the amp on 5. I'll try and post a video response to show this.

You`re right it depends on what you need it for but this thing is listed with over 24 pounds weight, costs nearly 700$ in europe and sounds nothing like a jsx when miced or played live.

I´am not bashing on the jsx series in general because the bigger jsx are one of the best sounding amps out there.

[t1r12003]

Yeah, the Mini is definitely a vintage amp. The JSX head and 2x12 combo both sound amazing. Some of the best clean sounds I've heard. Enjoy it if you end up getting one.

Thanks for doing the video, dude.

[meta1983]

wow that's cool~~

could you post 1more video to show the medium and high gain sound?

@2:45 is it the Extreme song "There is no God" ?

[metachozoite]

@t1r12003 add a boss me 70 or satch arator into the clen and youll get a great sound aslo. :)

I own one of these amps and I love it. It gets pretty loud, too! And with a treble booster, you retain all the amp's tonal characteristics with lots of saturation and overtones. It has a lot of "touch," too.

@jpetrucci05 marshall class 5, blackstar ht-5, vox ac4tv, blackheart little giant, laney cub 8 & 10, bugera v5.

I was worried about the lack of an EQ when I bought my Mini-C, but I haven't missed it one bit. Also I'd say the 8 inch speaker holds up well even when the amp is cranked. I totally dig this amp!

[psychofunksoldier02]

Hey, this amp is awesome and at $300 its a steal. I got mine about a month ago at $500 and I'm still lovin' it.

search for blackheart killer ant, sub 1 watt all tube class A XD
