Up for sale is a terrific and hard to find 1×12 tube amp from Peavey…. As of the date of this listing, 10/24/2018, there are no other 1×12 Ultras for sale! So snag this one immediately while you still can! Reason # 1 is of course the sound you get from 2, count em’, TWO LARGE power tubes! I believe they are 6L6′s. Really makes this amp sing! It’s been stated that this unit sounds very reminiscent of a Mesa Boogie or like a precursor to the consequent legendary 5150′s that came out. Therefore, the clean sound is amazing… Super warm and round in the bass frequencies, just like a Mesa! Also makes it a great platform for your effects if you are a pedal or rack user who likes to get their distortion and/or other effects from outboard gear. The overdrive (crunch) channel on this amp is very musical. Excellent in my opinion! Start with the gain low and you can get all sorts of genres: classic rock, country, blues, etc. Go more than halfway and you’re into hard rock territory. Put the gain on 9 or dime it and you’re pretty much in convincing EVH brown sound territory…. Sounds so sweet here in this area! Want metal and/or high gain? Switch over to the Ultra Gain channel and you are easily there! With a overdrive and/or tube screamer (I’ve got a Fender Drive pedal, Maxon ROD 880, Ibanez DS10 Distortion Charger, and other dirt pedals available in my store) into this amp with the gain even less than halfway, and you’ve got that tight, focused searing sound you want when you play brutal high gain metal! It also sings nicely for solos and lead breaks! Top all of this off with a bright switche for the clean channel to liven up your dark humbucker guitar sounds, gain boost buttons for both the crunch and ultra lead channel, a power amp eq control consisting of a 3 position resonance switch , and you’ve got tons of sonic shaping options with just this one box! Also included is the 3 button footswitch that you NEED to be able to switch from the clean channel to the crunch channel as well as to be able to switch to the ultra gain channel! No reverb on this unit as the reverb tank is missing. You can easily install one if you want to. And with an effects loop put a delay pedal in there…. I have delays from Ibanez, Line 6, Rogue, Arion, and Behringer, etc. And you won’t even miss reverb! , parallel speaker jacks and a preamp out to round out your features, this is an all-in-one solution to all of your tonal necessities.
