  • Looks like similar size as my JSX Mini Colossal. I bought it to expect JSX sound-ish but it is nothing like the real JSX. It's a vintage amp on a small combo, JSX is modern. Just kept my Mini for collection

  • My first amp was a plywood box, five speakers out of a Dodge Neon and a Peavey Rage unit taken out of a water logged combo 1×8… It actually sounded quite good for what it was! I learned so much of my earliest guitar on that thing so it has a special place in my heart.

  • Hartley Peavey said that he would never do any reissues because they are always looking forward, not back. It must be his dimwit son in law pulling these strings.

  • Idk. They seem to be about 20 years too late to the party. They should have been selling these when queens was on a thing people used to listen to called the radio every hour and on a channel people used to watch called mtv.

    Here’s why the original was popular. It’s folklore/nostalgia internet legend/hype. People on the internet find out Queens, recorded with it, people get GAS and have to have it. It’s a rare item on the used market. When you buy one you got to keep it until you find someone else who wants to buy it. There’s a bunch for outrageous prices on the internet. People ain’t buying them for what people are asking.

    Here’s why the used market works and the re release is going to fail. When you buy a genuine original 1980s peavy practice amp you’re stuck with it. Once the novelty runs out and you got a 1980s peavy practice amp…. You got a 1980s peavy practice amp. You can’t return it. You can only hope that some other guitar player has enough GAS to at least pay what you spent on it, ship it to him and make it his problem.

    With the re issue. I can go to guitar center, put it on my credit card, and I have 45 days to return it. So I get it on day 1 I’m in love!!! Play a bunch of queens. Then the honey moon fades. Queens fans are 40 years old. We got real amps that the peavy can’t replace. It’s not loud enough to use in a bands you say hey that was fun but not $250 fun and it goes right back to guitar center and Anderson’s

  • Kinda crazy that amp is now so desired. I have an old one sitting in a corner somewhere

  • Are the new ones made in China like most of Peavey's lineup these days? The original ones were made in Meridian, Mississippi, so maybe I'll stick with the pawn shop and craisgslist finds.

  • Sounds as bad as it looks. I am old enough to remember the old peavey combos from the 80s. Horrendous things
