I was in the market for a larger combo amp that I could get to make my rig easier to setup and take down at shows (my old rig was two valve JR's that were modded and a guitar research 4x8 cab that was loaded up with some celestion super 8's and I did some other things like wiring mods so I could run both heads into it. I also sealed up the cab better using some left-over solid slabs of poplar I had. That helped out the tone tremendously and I am still very happy with the sound of this rig. Its just a B*T^H to setup fast between sets and bands. Therefore I wanted a tone similar with some more balls and easier setup.
Enter the Peavy Delta Blues combo!
I got the 1x15 model and I couldn't be happier. I was actually saving up for a Epiphone blues custom 30 and I found this sitting there calling my name at Guitar Center. So I grabbed a standard strat off the wall and jammed out for a good 5 minutes. Walked away.... sat down at some other nice combos (you fenders and a mesa) but this amp just kept calling my name, so I sat there and try to find something I didn't like about the amp, and I could not find somthing (other than the weight...its a tube amp, I will get over it) that made me uncomfortable about the amp. So I bought it. and I Love it. Now this brings me to another issue that I think you guys will dig really swell and such.
That 4x8 cab I have, I can wire it to 8 ohms for an extension cab. The delta blues speaker is NOT defeated when you plug the ext cab in. So once that 15" blue marvel breaks in I will be plugging the rewired 4x8 cab into it. I'm so jonesing to find out what it will sound like. Any opinions or forethoughts on what it will be like? Im thinking its gonna be buttery goodness.
