I know many of you are owners of high end amps, I have never had said amps other than a 50 w Marshall head in the early 80's. I have owned many Peavey amps since about 74'. I have owned the following:
Backstage 30 Bandit VTM 60 Triump 60 Head( Best amp I ever owned for me at the time) VK212 (I still own this as it can only generate $250 resale so I am keeping it)
The VK212 is a solid amp that does not fit my current needs, it has a ton of headroom and the overdrive channel is good on its own.
Any Peavey love here?

Maybe not love, but respect. The store my family dealt with when I was 12 was a Peavey dealer. So my first amp was a Peavey Deuce. Way too much power for what I was doing, but, hey, I was a kid. Sold it, owned something else for a while (forget what) and then bought a Special from the music store I worked at before going to uni - the music store also sent me to Meridian for a 4 day long factory tour. It was all I needed for over a decade. I then got into tubes (we were all told in the early 80s tubes were done). I picked up a used Peavey Prowler at a pawn shop, a 112 2X6L6 combo that was laid out much like a Fender DeVille (except the controls were in the correct location ). And apparently fairly rare - I haven't seen one since. Quite a usable amp but very quiet for 2X6L6. Dealt it because I had better amps.
