hey guys,
so earlier today i made the trade,
my mesa mark I reissue for a Peavey triple XXX 1x12 with a custom built 2x12 (with 2 random celestion speakers) and $200 of delicious cash.
its originally 60 watts, but it has a built in attenuator that he had modded into the amp.
he also traded the electro harmonix 6l6s for JJ el34s, but i think im going to switch him back (he was nice enough to include all the tubes he ever used or had for the amp) since im more of a 6l6 guy
anyways,
if you remember my last story, i was looking for something smaller (obviously this isnt it) but it does have the built in attenuator, a footswitch with 3 individual channels, and EXTREMELY sensitive 3 band eq for each channel as well.
this amp is easily more versatile in the sense that it can use a footswitch for 3 channels and each channel has its own EQ. I got used to playing at low gains with the Mesa mark I, and that i liked...i found the peavey to be very similar to a mesa triple rect that i have been demoing in a shop for a while...the only difference is that the peavey isnt heavy on the bass as is the mesa, although i do find myself still keeping the bass and mids down....
overall, im very pleased with the trade, i will miss the mesa just because it is a mesa, and every mesa is special in its own way....however, this is a great product as well, and for the deal i got, i am very happy...i will be writing and recording a video review for you all when i get the chance later this week.
thats it for now, time to spend days trying to dial in my sound hahaa
