I mean, I imagine you’d hear sumthin flopping around a bit. But also those chassis fit pretty tight in that headshell that it’s possible it’s simply sitting in there loose. Just sumthin to check on

I honestly think the only other thing I really want at this stage in my life is some kind of SLO which is definitely going to be a few years out before I purchase one. The Peavey was cheap enough to do before real life came up (I’m also replacing my whole driveway this week). And it sounds exactly how I want it to sound. I never had one of these with Greenbacks or even Sheffields. It’s always been V30s in the past. With the Greenbacks, I hear more of the VH balance type tones than I’ve ever heard from this amp. It’s kind of amazing to me. I can’t play like Ed to save my life but hearing a semblance of that sound is crazy good. So in the spirit of being a fanboy… I think I want to grab an Eventide unit for this thing. Either the H9 or H90. I probably won’t use it for much else, but it’s something I think would be awesome to have.

On the whole I’m super happy with this amp. I got some good volume time with it today and it’s been great. No disrespect towards the 5153 that I briefly had but I think I just prefer the Peaveys for this kind of amp.

Its been too long since I played a Peavey Fiddy.

Closest I had was a Peavey HP Special which was sweet but I sold it. The current Fender MIM Wolf’s are pretty damn nice though.
