Sounds like the Peavey was overdriving the mic, maybe it was set louder. Can't imagine the clean channel actually distorted like that.

@JBiggsNewJersey yeah its the mic on the camera, my new cameras don't have that problem I wish I Could do this test again

I've had all three of these amps. I think the fender has the best clean and reverb. But, the OD is awful and useless. The Peavey covers everything well, nice clean, nice OD, tremelo, good reverb. I didn't care for the Tech 21 at all. Except it had good reverb. If I was to choose, it would be the PEAVEY DELTA with 2x10s

@motokev sweet thanks man. I tried a Delta 2x10 it really struggled at higher volumes got kinda flabby, but maybe it was just me :) All 3 of these amps are now sold. I am using a customised Blues Deluxe Amp and a Vox AC30 now, both are really cool! Cheers for the cool comments

Great Demo!! Your a good player with lots of tone just from your fingers..The three amps sound very good..but the one I would have to go with here is the Tech21..amazing tone!!

[intheblues]

@tsgallant Thanks mate. They are a great amp the Tech-21. VERY versatile, more so than the other two.

[intheblues]

thanks for the nice comments. it's a great amp that Tech!

Excellent demo dude! The Tech21 sounds so damn nice!

[spartanworria]

Nice demo dude. They all sound nice in there own way. I bet any one that I could plug into any of those amps and smash out a tune! And they ALL would sound shit lol

[jerseystringer]

The Fender clean is the most musical to my ear.  The Tech 21 clean does not sound really clean. The Peavey sounds kind of sterile, which surprises me after reading sine if the other comments, although I've always thought Peavey was budget stuff in terms of quality.

Oh yeah and GREAT playing BTW man... Really great sounding, I love that last rythm/lead piece you did at the end of each amp's segment. Great review/thoughts a the end too. Thanks for taking the time to share mate. Cheers.

Oh and to whoever was asking about the PV overdriving the MIC... spot on aye. That 15" speaker in the PV moves ALOT of air and those camera mics (and alot of other non-specialized mics) get really sensetive to air movement... think windy day at the beach and all the scratchy white noise that generates. THe PV will have GREATLY more bass responce too because of that air movement. Putting a bass port on the cab would be interesting.

... I'm simply amazed at how VERY short an ammount of time it's taken me to be a complete snob about amps. I just bought an older style PV Classic 50 in tweed and it's canged my mind about what a nice warm "gooey" and full clean tone can be. The Fender is to me the deffinition of "bright and chimey" and the PV DB (15 I'm guessing???) is just a more "full" sound... The Tech 21 just has kind of a flat and more lacking tone to my ear. Could easily be due to the camera's mic though so...

Interesting to see that everyone has their on favourite. Its fender for me this time. Loved that glassy sound and full reverb.

[BarryMClark]

Winner for me: Tech 21. Definitely on my short list.

@gtarmn75 Yeah I was thinking the same thing. This comparison is moot.
