Peavey Review: Rage 158

History:

Purchase: I bought this amp from a friend who was selling his old peavey to get a bigger amp. I haven't been playing for as long as he does so this 15 watt was perfect for me. I got it for 700 and it was in great shape. oh,by the way that's around 175 US dollars.

What I Like About This Peavey Rage 158: I love this amp! My guitar never had such a great clean sound but that changed when I got a this amp. This amp includes two channels,3 band EQ, headphone jack and a really great sounding distortion. I have a Boss metal zone and the distortion this amp delivers comes close to the great sound of Boss products. I also love this amp because it has an input for my CD player and I can practice with the music. For a 15 watt amp it's very powerful and makes my guitar sound much better.

What I Do NOT Like About The Peavey Rage 158: There is only one thing that bothers me and that’s the modern/vintage voicing switch. It bothers me because it does absolutely nothing! You don't really get a vintage sound and actually not a modern one either the amp pretty much sounds the same.

Peavey Rage 158 Quality Rating: Well, it's a small practice amp, constructed for your practice needs. Not powerful enough to perform with and not sturdy enough. As i said, this is a practice amp. It weighs around 13-14 lbs. It produces a great sound so i would say that this is definitely a good quality amp. They don't make em' better.

Review Summary: The bottom line is, If you need a good practice amp , this is it. If you want to have it with reverb get the Peavey blazer 158.

Rating of this Peavey product: 5
