It's actually a great sounding amp, but in this video demo it sounds quite muddy, and there's a reason for this. In the be- ginning of the video when the features of the amp are being pointed out, the camera pans accross the front control panel. You can see where each control is set, and the bass control is maxed. I don't know why the demonstrator set it that way, but doing so will muddy up the sound on this amp. With the bass con- trol set lower, this amp sounds great and is versatile.

good demo amp sounds great im laughing because it looks like raymond off of that show and if you go to facebook and type in austin slattery and put them two together you get this...

Eh, not to thrilled with this amp. I wasnt hearing 5 totally different personalities. I heard some extra gain. I'm sure this is a quality amp but to bill it as 5 totally different amps is marketing bullshit. Its got one sound, with some gain and eq variations as far as I'm concerned.

It's a damn good amp. My faves are the Tree for cleans with a BB preamp if I want a little mustard on it, Star for a bolder clean with a Zendrive if I want mustard, pickle relish and onions on it. The Bull sounds pretty good on its own with a touch of delay. Hate the trannies both on one side, makes it very awkward to lift. Could use an FX loop. Got at a blow out price of 750 for head and cab, before Peavey changed the name to the Gary Rossington Signature Penta and priced at 1399 head only.

It's Ray Ramono from Everybody Loves Raymond Show.. LOL

I agree with D3COMO. One of my friends has one of these, and it's an awesome amp. He can go anywhere from fendery cleans to in yer face metal. He runs it most of the time in the Star mode with just a little breakup.

His guitar out of tune. It's maddening! Sweet amp though.

Kinda dark, I think a hot-rodded tele or something with P-90s would be better with this amp. Of course he did have the bass all the way up and the treble backed off, and I bet he had the tone knob on his guitar rolled back a little too. It's kinda surprising just because my experience with peavey is that you always have to swap the preamp tubes out for more warmth. Usually they make amps that are really bright. This one is more like a super hot-rod bassman with extra gain. Cool though.
