What do you think of my new rig?

[octagon]

I got this on friday. It is a Peavey Artist 240(PDF)




I traded my Silvertone 1451 + $50 for it



Got another guitar too(on the right).



Now I can start a southern rock band.

Peavey has to be the most underrated company in the entire music business. Really a shame in so many ways.

It's that kindergarten logo of Hartley's!

High School. Other guys were combing their mullets and sketching Camaros. Hartley had better ideas!

Hartley was pre mullet I believe-yeah, they aren't the flashiest, prettiest things, but were by far the best value for the buck ever!

That Silvertone was sweet! What kind of speaker in that Peavey?

Thanks guys!Speaker in my Peavey Artist is a 12" Black Widow which,I think,really sounds great.It is a very loud amp the 4 6L6 power stage puts out 120 watts. My Silvertone has a 6 1/2" Rola speaker which i don't like as much as the Fisher speaker that was in my amp-in -case Silvertone .The little radio tube the powers the amp puts out about 3.5 watts. I original bought the Silvertone amp because I thought it would sound like the Silvertone 1448 with a Fisher speaker I used to have but it doesn't.

Hey Mitch,

I've got one of those Danelectro made Silvertone amp in case guitars as well. I think they sound great! Mine has the tremolo and I would not hesitate to use it at a smaller gig or for recording.

Awesome! That is the Silvertone 1457. Mick Jagger has one.
