Peavey Windsor

[JW123]

For the last couple of years Ive taught beginning bass at a Girls Rock School. This yr I walked into my class room and they had put a Peavey Windsor head and a Marshall 1960 straight cab in there for a guitar amp. I had never played one of these before and dont know much about it. But after a week of having it in the room and messing around with it. I have to say it was a great sounding amp. You could actually lower the volume way down and get a great crunchy sound out of it. I think it had 4 EL 34s in it so Im assuming it is 100 watts. If these amps are reasonably priced they might be a good choice for someone looking for a good tube head. I played my 1960 Classic Reissue in it every day for an hr or so a day. Its a simple amp, but I could just roll the gtr volume off to clean the sound up.

I had seen a post on here a few weeks ago and someone asked about these amps, I give them a thumbs up. I normally play Mesa's (Triple Rec, Roadster, Subway Rocket) to give you an idea what Im used to using.

I had one for a while. It didn't really ring my bell, so I sold it off and got a Crate V32.

I know bling has got one and loves it, and a couple other guys here have them as well.

They seem to sound really nice from the clips I've heard. Too modern sounding for me though, I loves my Classic 30.

Peavey has a bunch of really straightforward tube amps that are great. The Rockmaster, Butcher, 5150 (for some applications), and classic series are totally up to the challenge of touring and recording professionally.

I see many of these Peavey tube amps CHEAP on craigslist too. Definitely something to consider if somebody needs a decent tube amp for not a lot of bread. Especially if you use lots of pedals and just need a jumping off point tonaly.

I'm taking my studio into the studio next month.
