The first pedal I got, when I was a teenager, was the DoD Grunge pedal, lol.
I had a blue left handed Predator Plus.
Peavey has a manufacturing facility in Mississippi…
Those are good guitars
As someone who’s been to jail I would’ve traded my lunch to stamp guitars
Edit: this thing has a super good 2nd wave black metal tone
these guitars feel soo good to play!
1:11 yeah, every 90s guitar store that had 8 strings and fanned frets xD
I had a cheap-ass Peavey Rock Master that I bought for $50, and that thing sounded ridiculously good for a $50 used guitar.
Reminds of my first “rig”… Peavey Tracer (single humbucker only, with that same trem from your Predator), Peavey Audition 30 amp, DOD Supra Distortion (FX-55 I think?). The DOD didn’t blow me away for guitar, but it was INCREDIBLE for bass… at least my teenage self thought so
A Cort Flying V thru a solid state 1 x 12 fender amp with no distortion. The struggle was real.
Crafted in USA but built somewhere else ????????
I had that Crate amp!????????
My first rig: Yamaha Guitar (H-S-H), nothing fancy, DOD Thrashmaster and Stereo Chorus, no amp, plug straight into a Sunn Console (Fender, mexican made) I thought I sounded pretty decent, pretty grunge. Now I just can't find those DOD pedals in the used market! I still have the Yamaha collecting dust, I'll fix it one day… Those were the times! Oh: all this in '96 to 2000
If the guitar is light, it's basswood; if it's heavy, then poplar.
I've owned 8 or 9 Peavey predators, they're absolutely brilliant guitars. Made in USA until 1994. Those last few years were USA made necks, Korean made body, electronics and hardware. It was the only way to cut cost and still make an awesome playing guitar. Really all you need to do is swap the tuning machines, saddles, and maybe the nut and it's outstanding. Maybe swap pickups to taste.
My first guitar was an early 90s squire from Japan, and it was absolutely equal to a USA model. And no one ever said shit to me about it. Played countless gigs with it and wish I never sold it.
This is why I never got rid of my first really decent guitar. My first actual guitar was an early 80's Kay, which was the single worst piece of garbage ever conceived. Fortunately, my older brother played, so I was able to plonk around on his guitars when he wasn't around.
Fast forward a year to 1991, and I got an '81 Gibson Sonex for about $200. I saved like crazy doing whatever odd things my neighbors would pay me for, because I was dead set on buying a Peavey Predator just like the one in this video. Instead, I came across that Gibson, and I was in love. I will be buried with that guitar.
In the late 80's – early 90's C.F. Martin (Martin acoustic guitars) put out Indonesian made Strat copies called the Stinger. They were decent guitars and cheap.
shit a peavey or samick was a good guitar in the 90s. cheap would be hondo or some other asian brand.. even 90s squiers were trash
I started with an Epiphone strat copy with the hockeystick headstock in '87 plugged into a 10 watt Ross amp. It sucked then. Still own it. Still sucks.
Peavey & Crate were awesome and how i wish i still had my Grunge pedal from the 90s, but now i want to hear your Crate GX 15 hooked to your Mesa 412 as I still think these tiny Crate practice amps sound great and I bet it sound awesome running thru your 412
I had one of those back then and it was ok for a total beginner but then I got a JB Player for around $300. I have no idea what that brand is but that was one sturdy little sucker that I still have in storage to this day. Never had a warped neck or fret/intonation issues with it. Cheap guitars seemed sturdier back then.
I had Washburn G4, Peavey Bandit 65, Boss distortion and a chorus flanger in the 80's-90's it was a great setup
my first electric guitar was a tiesco top 20 , it was a real piece of sh*t
i sold my mexican strat to buy a squier classic vibe jaguar , no regrets at all
So cool. Did your parents give you lessons, as well?
Cool playing mate. I still have a $200 guitar I bought in like '81, a Vantage Avenger with split coils. It could do the single coil strat thing until I got a Strat in '85. Still got it too though I have some noiseless pups in it now. Good video Taylor, Rock On Bro'.
For some reason hearing a 90s Crate amp makes me so happy.
My 1st gear set up was a 2013 or 2014 starcaster and a beginner Jackson amp at the time and my 1st pedal was a fab distorson
The neck is a little beefier than a lot of Squiers. It's great for funk. It also doesn't have a skunk stripe. The neck is two pieces with the grain running opposite ways to prevent twisting. Kind of a nerdy engineering touch thats pretty innovative for a budget guitar.
Love the 90s Peaveys! I have 2 Reactor models (the tele clones), one from '93 and one from '96. At this point they've been modded with everything… locking machine heads, pickups, you name it… But at their core they're still a cheap 90s guitar that play & feel great. Can't go wrong!
Wow that was my rig but with a Mexican strat
I traded a dude a while back a quarter bag of weed for a 94 white on white Predator and straight up I love this guitar. The neck is so smooth and I think it plays and sounds great!
My first guitar was a Kramer from Sam's club it was a combo….amp sucked. Guitar was ok ….but the tuning keys were plastic ????…..yes this was in the 90s
I've got a Peavey Raptor EXP Plus of an unknown generation. I have no idea what's in it but I love it.
Those things came with 500k pots from the factory, you can almost never find the truss rod cover on these, I've had 3 of them and they're all from 93-94. The neck is actually 2 piece maple, they even had an iteration where instead of having a rosewood board, they just painted the whole neck black. I'm actually selling one just like yours in this video because i thought i had a strat killer. I just went back to my fenders.
Back in the late 80's/early 90's, I was in high school and had a MIM strat. The tremolo block broke so I figured we could take it in to the local guitar shop and they could replace the block. The shady bastard went off on how crappy Fender was and he would take it off our hands and give credit towards a "MADE IN USA" Peavy Predator. So my parents believed him and made the trade. The paint on that Peavy started chipping off immediately on the top of the upper horn. I'm still pissed that sleazeball pulled that on us. I never went back again when I got older.
wow! this was my second guitar in my youth! and let me tell you, it was not bad at all.
Holy crap dude! I had a red Raptor exp at around 12yrs old and played it throughout my teens and even gigged with it for like 5 years until I got a Jackson Dinky ????❤
There's a red super strat HH predator plus with floyd rose in my area for $100usd, I'm tempted. I want a SSS guitar though. Too many humbuckers in my arsenal ????
My first guitar was a left handed strat made by Lotus… i put THOUSANDS of hours on it.
First guitar was a squire and it was a punk rock heaven then graduated quickly to Metallica,Megadeth,Anthrax,and Slayer the rest is history
couple years ago i picked up a squier hm strat from 89 and it was a really good guitar imo. only problems with it were some slightly microphonic pickups and worn down frets
Cort Red Stratocaster
Kustom 20 w Combo
Zoom 505/2 Multieffect
I Still got all 3
Simpler times….
My first electric was a red Peavey Predator that had the pointy Peavey logo along with the crafted in the USA printing. It was S-S-S format with a maple fretboard and a generous bit of flame on the back of the maple neck. I'm thinking it was maybe an early version, when they just changed from the H-H fortmat to the S-S-S format.
My only real issue with it was that the electronics were a little scratchy with maybe a short in the wiring. I held onto that guitar until my mid 20's as a backup guitar. I also had what I believe was a matching 10 watt Peavey (Rage or Rogue?) practice amp that had, I believe, an 8 inch speaker.
Still pretty nostalgic for me as well, even though I have moved on to much better rigs since then.
These Peaveys were actually made in Korea. They were then assembled in the US.
I remember that sound of the 90s i was thinking about my stuoid strange weird jams just b4 now im like no distortion really clean tones for solo's and patient stuff to think in the space instead of doff dof doff in the 90s the Mexico squires were good
